Okay so we found common ground, back to the football coach who victimizes the kid, forces him to run around the track in 90 heat while the rest of the kids take showers and he dies:
Based on your logic we should shut all the schools down or stop playing football in the U.S.

I won't argue with you. We should stop playing football. Soccer is just a more friendly, international sport. Plus, it takes less equipment and doesn't beat up the players half as much.
Seriously, though. If there were a pattern among a bunch of affiliated schools over years, kids were dropping left and right, such coaches were rarely, if ever, sanctioned in any meaningful way, then yes, we'd have a problem on the magnitude of what we're talking about.
In the more commonly accepted reality, if one highschool athalete dies under suspicious circumstances, the coach is investigated by default and, likely, would be fired. Who the hell wants a coach that kills kids? So his future in highschool sports is over. He'd have to go looking to the troubled parent industry for work. I wonder how often that happens?
The right of self-defense is the first law of nature . . and when the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any color or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction.

Thank you Antigen -- sometimes its hard to get a point across. The problem needs to be quantified. If we write to our congressmen and tell them about a boy who was killed in a boarding school it will be filed right next to the one who is trying to have Peanuts banned from the stores because his wife choked on one.
If you approach them with figures:
Example
"4% of all students at TBS are restrained and of those, 6% suffer brain damage and 1% die. 30% of all graduates relapse back to their old patterns, 60% move on to better lives and 10% drop out.
Nation wide less than 1% of the children die or are restrained etc, etc,"
This will raise eyebrows, the numbers the facts. Trying shut places down is a dead end.

Bottom Line: There is no excuse for abuse and until this country adopts a ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY for parental abuse by proxy, the teen help industry will continue to thrive.
Now ... to the program mental midgets ... when a car is defective and seriously injures or kills somebody, the manufacturer will call for a RECALL of the model and make of that car.
Teen Help programs are a PRODUCT used by parents to control/change their child's attitude and behavior.
If a program seriously injures or kills a kid, that program should be immediately shut down, not allowed to stay open pending a criminal or civil investigation. Why? Because it is unsafe at any speed.
This is one of the REFORMS that anti-teen help advocates are pushing for.
Deal with it!

Good start
Of course this will need to be applied to all TEEN PROGRAMS, football, band camp, soccer camp, boy scouts, girl scouts, baseball camp, all youth outreach programs, all boarding schools therapeuticor or otherwise, any program is unsafe if someone dies.
They are doing that now in Massachusetts. If a child dies during a sport practice or a camp an investigation ensues and the camp or team can be shut down until cause is determined, maybe they can use this as a model
