Hi,
I'm sorry, but I was there over 10 years ago so I haven't met the Jesse that you talk about. And, as far as what you can do to help get him out, I really don't know any legal recourse that you could take to try and get him removed from the program. The reason that so many of these programs are located in Utah, is it's lack of child protection legislation, and the difficulty to work within it's system as an outsider. For example, in opposition to the regulations afforded for doctor-patient confidentiality in all of the other 49 states in the union, Utah has no such protection for children; therefore, they can take what should be protected speech between the kids and the therapists, and pass that information on to their parents in an attempt to get them to commit their children for longer periods, by twisting their words and secrets against them.
I am really sorry that I don't have any good news for you; I had friends who wanted to spring me from the two programs that I spent 3 years in, but with no success. I wouldn't recommend it either, as doing so would constitute kidnapping. It's a terrible bind. If you have any other questions, or just would like to discuss their situation, please feel free to IM or email me. Good luck, and take care.
