Anyone here ever threaten their kid with going to a program? Did it work to gain control over them again?
I didn't think so.
Threatening a kid with going to a program just shows the kid is still in control. And, that the parent has no clue what to do. The parents need to see it isn't a punishment to help the kid get back on a successful path.
Is it a bad parent that doesn't do anything about it? Or a bad parent that does?

It's the ignorant parents who act by sending their kids to these programs. If they aren't ignorant, they are cruel. It's either one or the other, not much wiggle room there, IMO.

Ignorant? Yeah - I have often freely admitted my ignorance about the problems in this industry. In fact, what I thought I knew, proved to be a gross misconception.
I feel confident this is indeed most often the case. But you see, this is actually good news - b/c this is a situation that can be cured with knowledge! We just need to make the knowledge more accessible and generally known - and I think this is happening.

First mistake parents make is putting their faith and their trust in the hands of someone who promises to help them find the right program at the right price ... all AT NO COST to the parent.
Second mistake they make is filling out questionaires about their child and themselves revealing personal information that can and will be used against both parent and child as DAMAGE CONTROL (e.g. parent writes their teen is a manipulative liar setting them up to be NOT BELIEVED when and if they complain about maltreatment.)
It's a sick cycle of exploitation ... the program and the referral agents are the ones in charge ... not the parents.
