How are they getting away with alot of the things that they are doing, namely not being regulated by the state and being improperly licensed, or lying to parents, and attempting to brainwash kids while abusing them. I can not attest to whether or not they currently admitt court ordered kids, I do know that in the past and while I was there they most definitly did.

Largely because parents are unaware and do not take action when they do discover conflicting information.

I think it's largely because of a pervasive false dilema; mainstream school, culture and what-not vs. the Program. Either you're a "good kid" according to the schoolpeople and the DARE cop or you're a "troubled kid" in need of intervention.
There's another, better option. Start early, like when they're toddlers. Do not present a unified front w/ whomever presents themselves as the authorities. Instead, teach your kids to make their own judgement calls and to come up w/ better strategies than those presented by MTV to deal w/ unjust and unwholesome authority figures and their dictates.
Hey, nobody promised it would be simple or easy or risk free.

Yes, when I was there they took court ordered kids. According to Robert, they did so at least thru 2002. That's eight years accounted for.
Any recent students/staff that can tell us about 2002-2005?
Why do they get away with it? They're scam artists. They get away with it just like others do: lack of regulation, embarrassed victims that don't want to bring action, good political and other connections, and, most of all LOTS OF MONEY.

Why is taking court ordered kids a bad thing? Isn't being sent to a boarding school/treatment center better than going to jail and having it on a child's criminal record? Aren't most children sent to treatment centers or boarding schools because the crimes they committed weren't serious enough to warrant jail time? Are court ordered kids a danger to other kids who aren't court ordered? Just wondering.
