Lol. I prefer to think of it as ... some express their luv and admiration in funny ways. Whether or not that was the intent, it goes better with my dinner than the literal version does... :D
Here's a question for you, none-ya: who is paying for this stay at Tampa Bay? It sounds like Youth and Family Centered Services is one of these for-profit mental health conglomerates, where corporate greed and maximizing profits command greater attention than the actual provision of care. These kinds of places generally rely heavily on insurance coverage and DJJ and state contracts to fill their beds. Usually the recommended stay is limited to the same length of time as the insurance coverage stipulates. Funny how that is...

Grandma and Grandpa are footing this. This is after a private pscholoigst. and some other "counseling " at school.
I think she is just spoiled. She only acts out when she doesn't get her way. And that's always worked for her. Dosen't everyone outgrow that behavior once it's no longer effective? These programs let the parents off the hook for raising bratty kids. "It's ok . We can fix them for you. It's not your fault".

Ugh. Zero tolerance feeds programs by funneling the "less socially acceptable" individuals their way... my personal beef. Parents buy this. What else can they do, save home school? It is getting to the point that the entire societal construct pushes things that way. See HERE for another recent thread illustrating that point.
As to your friend's daughter specifically, it's disturbing that he will be unable to see her/communicate with her. Is this stipulation as per the program, or something between him and his (ex?) wife?
Btw, I'm not sure any of us have posted this program's website in this thread yet, at least in the last page or two. So... here it is: http://www.tampabay-academy.com/

Of the contact situation I'm not sure how that is worked. But I think she is at least she has to go to school while she's there.
Not like back in the day. Kids in the program fell so far behind, they never caught up.

Sometimes what they do is have the regular school send over the schoolwork, and the rehab just supervises that it gets done. I expect that generally only works when the rehab is for a short and limited time period.
