This miscreant deserves a thread of his own, he is the "founding director of three substance abuse programs for teenagers. A liscensed psychologist, certified chemical dependency counselor,and an ordained minister" ( from his website );
http://www.georgerross.com/TASA_BOOK_PDF.pdf. As far as I can tell, those three programs were; Straight Inc., LIFE ( Life Is For Everyone! ), and Kids of Hebron, KY. He is still practicing and is apparently much better than Newton at abusing kids LEGALLY. His approach to so called teenage chemical dependency "necessarily includes parents (or their surrogates) throughout the treatment process". My mother still believes that she was helping me by forcing me to sit and stare at the wall ( between verbal assaults by the whole group ) for 12 or more hours a day for months and months, every day.
