It also sounds to me like ALL of their problems stem from family issues. FAMILY ISSUES!!! How is isolating your kid in the wilderness going to help when they come back? Other than being afraid of you... OH YES.. that's the entire point of programs. I sometimes forget. Silly me. :roll:

Do these parents know that children have actually died in a wilderness therapy program because they were deprived of WATER? (Summit Quest)

Or died after falling into a deep crevice while on an under-supervised hike in an area no longer considered safe and/or appropriate for wilderness therapy? (Red Rock Ranch Academy)
Or killed while sleeping in their tent after a tree branch covered with snow gave way fell on them? (Catherine Freer)
Wilderness Therapy is NOT foolproof. There are inherent risks which can not and must not be overlooked and/or ignored.
That's the bottom line. Caveat Emptor.

Lexie used to be a good girl who rode horses and excelled in school, but when she was 11, Lexie was molested by someone she trusted. She has since suffered from depression, become verbally abusive toward her parents, given up horseback riding and started failing in school. Lexie's parents sent her to SageWalk hoping she'll learn to deal with the secret that still haunts her.

How the fuck is marching in the desert and eating burnt oatmeal going to fix or address any of this?
Jesus Christ people are morons if they think this is going to do anything except make them tow the line so they dont go back, or just get teh fuck away from their parents - if they're not referred to a lockin program.
The three of them have nothing wrong with them at all, and their parents have a LOT wrong with them for doing this to their kids. But oh well, theyre gonna get pats on the back and tons of money for letting their kids be humiliated, marched through a desert and given bullshit 'therapy' around campfires while eating burnt oatmeal.

All in the name of entertainment while fat assed Americans are parked on the couch eating junk and laughing hysterically at the public degradation of the kids.
To humiliate their children on national television to entertain viewers is sickening to say the least.

Actually, I believe they are hell raisers. They're out of control. If you can't see that then I think you're not being realistic. I do believe that many kids can receive help in other ways. Doc's, other programs, therepy, etc. However, when your kid threatens to hit you on numerous occasions, stays out all night whenever they want, and brags about getting fuc*** up, then these are serious problems. You can't believe that untreated they'll all be dead or in jail within 5 years. Even if the camp didn't help them in the long run with they're problems, what they're getting is the least punishment for what they've done to those that love them. That's what they get. If someone wouldn't kick the sh#t out of them, then let them hike. There should be consequences for their actions shouldn't there be?
