Treatment Abuse, Behavior Modification, Thought Reform > The Troubled Teen Industry

World Wide Assn Spec v. Pure, et al

Well I'm just not so sure that's true. I've seen a whole lot of really horrible behavior lately. If I were to attribute it all to malice and bad intent, I suppose there wouldn't be any good reason to keep these forums going because every one of us would be the bad guys by that definition.


When Plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in a society, they create for themselves in the course of time, a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.

Fuck that. I'm on the level. I don't claim to know anything that isn't already self-evident. No fucking wonder there's been a lot of "horrible behavior" lately. Fuck this bullshit. Let someone else go off about her. I don't care anymore... :silly:  :wave:

And oh yeah, word has it that ISAC did not fuck up anything. (y'know, like you stated B4 somewhere else) That is to say that Safety fucked up a $1000 donation that almost happened.. Woooops!

"PURE did NOT refer to Skyline Journey at least not while I was working there as their admissions person.  I left in Jan of '02 so things could have changed but I doubt it.  Skyline was in deep with IECA Ed. Consultants not independant referral sources like PURE.  SJ refused to pay the $1000.00 a kid fee.  

I do know that PURE referred 19 students to Sorenson's Ranch the month of July '02.

How common is it in the teen help industry for programs to pay fees to independent referral sources?

Deborah:
I don't have a feel for the entire industry but I can share how it was done with one facility.

The TBS required a referal from an Ed Con. At the parent workshop before the first visit, the Head Master told parents they would receive a $250 refund if they showed documentation that they had used an Ed Con. His tone absolutely infered that it would be a good idea to kick that back to the Ed Con when he said, "We can't compensate the Ed Con, but parents are free to use the refund as they choose".
