There are two things that come to mind: 1- he was court ordered and they didn't pay "the program" but court fees?
Second - for sensationalism to sell the movie, cuz it didn't happen, wouldn't happen, can't happen.

I definitly did not get the impression Ryan F. was court ordered into any treatment program. In fact, I believe the press reports said his parents heard about the program from friends at church and decided to enroll him in the program.

So, what's the reason for the bribe? If it really took place then both parties are guilty of wrong doing.

Yes, Ryan's parents were recruited by a member of their church (see link below) but reportedly didn't come to believe they had made a mistake until a couple of former residents contacted them and urged them to take Ryan out. As for the "ransom" payment of $60,000.00, it's hard to believe any parent would consent to such a thing, must less have the cash-on-hand. Guess we will just have to wait for the movie, but even then, since the movie is a fictional account based on a true story, there is no way to separate fact from fiction without additional documentation and verification. As for the media, one can only guess if Weiner triple-checked the credibility of his sources.
:eek:

It seems to all be a farce...Ryan's story, that is. Fiction...based on fact, how does that make any sense? Kinda seems like an oxymoron to me.
