Brat Camp must be reaching parents---and in a way that's pro-program---cuz there's an awful lot of disagreement with the corrent ant-program line on this board these days.
Whadda ya gonna do Antigen--- the world is going beyond you---this series is going to fill and over-fill the programs you hate---as parents find out about them---and you can just keep preaching to the aging-hippie--drug-infested-permissive parenting choir that shares a a self-serving interest in believing that kids will be kids and adults have no say or responsibility in the (often tragic) outcome

DId you see the reviews? People are horrified. Why do you think people are watching the show? Similarly rated shows include Fear Factor, Average Joe, and similar shows. It's not about reality, it's about seeing as much drama as possible. I believe you are incorrect. This only shows the world how STUPID the program is. Go check the reviews.

Parental responsibility =
Making sure to work on communication with your kids and not ship them off. Making sure that your kids have a safe environment to explore the world, and themselves. Making sure your kids are treated with enough respect that they can learn who they really are, and grow to trust that they can take care of themselves. Making sure that your kids feel safe with expressing their feelings to you and not making them feel as though the only way to get across is to act out, or to simply give up on the relationship as a whole. Not pretending that your child's acting out is 100% their fault and that you are innocent and blameless.
To the poster about parental responsibility:
Grow UP.

Guess again Anon. Brat Camp has done more to hurt the image of wilderness therapy than any aging hippie or drug infested permissive parent (as you call them) could ever do.
Why?
Because it has opened Pandora's Box.
Millions of people are now seeing what happens to the children of "troubled" parents. They end up on television being exploited by their own parents and an industry that thrives on treating adolescence as an epidemic.

All I can say is brace yourself. If parents ship their kids off to death marches based on this soft-ball version of Sage Walk, they're not likely to be happy w/ the actual "service" they receive. The general public seems to be a bit alarmed even at this less than honest representation of most death march programs. What do you think will happen if a dozen kids die of easily treatable issues all within the same year?
It is the absolute right of the state to supervise the formation of public opinion.
