Where in the hell do you think straight got ITS staff? Though I sometimes say things in a thin( ok,ok not so thin) layer of sarcasm,that doesnt keep it form being true. Truly a trait of a fraudulent establishment. Caveat emptor and all that shit.
Why is it Ive never seen any of the wilderness programs having a trained/ certified First Responder/ W.E.M.T./E.M.T/or Paramedic out the backside of beyond with "troubled" youth? Even if the "therapy" end of it isnt bs,what good does it do a dead child? I fucking hate the Idea of some kid dying some where because profit was more important than life itself. Why do kids die in programs for horseshit reasons? Just to be the devils advocate lemme say this(with a grain of sarcasm)
What a marketing gimmick from hell it would be to boast of a program actually having such staff. But alas, it might cut into somebodys profits,so ........Even you gotta admit governmental,stauatory reqirements for progams are shoddy as hell.
And that doesent get into the abuse/mindfuck end of it.
If it were MY child,id want to see documentation for this "fully trained" staff. If memory serves, at straight they were called "para-pofessional", which in reality meant SQUAT.....I seriously doubt there ever could be a " good " program,just because of such issues. Just think of how fucking EXPENSIVE it would have to be to turn a fucking profit,and if it didnt turn a profit, it wouldnt exist( Where would the profit motive be?) at all.
