No, I should revise that. Maybe 60% of more of the detainees in some of these programs are adopted.

That would be a good question. For most detainees, the answer is probably "be born to screwed up parents."

The Troubled Teen Industry / Re: KIDS BEWARE!!!!!!
« on: March 26, 2011, 10:07:57 AM »
I take it that this post is a joke. But, it would be useful for kids to have information about how to respond when they are confronted with an 'escort service.'
Say you are 15, sitting on the couch in your underwear playing a video game while waiting to go to school in the morning, and two strangers suddenly appear claiming they are going to take you to a wilderness camp for a couple weeks.
Background: your parents are divorced. You are living with your mom but want to live with your dad. Your mom is almost psycho about the idea of you living with your dad. She is has already threatened to put you in a military school to keep you from being with your father. (change mother and father as you see fit)
You ask the two strangers if your dad knows what is going on, and they say "He does not need to know."
How do you respond? What do you do?

The Troubled Teen Industry / Stockholme Syndrome
« on: March 26, 2011, 09:38:40 AM »
I noticed one of the warning signs of a potentially abusive residential treatment center is that its employees are former 'inmates.' But, I did not understand why that would raise concern until I saw a mention of Stockholme Syndrome.

I now understand that having former inmates as employees is an indication of potentially emotionally abusive conditions that could lead to stockholme syndrome, and thus to cause the persons so affected to seek continued attachment to their captors even after their confinement had concluded.
It makes sense.

The Troubled Teen Industry / Re: Elan School Reddit Thread
« on: March 26, 2011, 08:37:42 AM »
The Elan School Reddit Threat inspired an entire subreddit called troubledteens. http://www.reddit.com/r/troubledteens/
Among other things, the troubledteens subreddit will help parents thinking about putting their kids in the troubled teen industry or legislators considering relevant legislation to find places such as fornits that provide them with all of the information that they need to consider.
It appears that the troubled teen industry hires companies to use reputation management techniques to keep stories containing negative information from appearing very high in search engine results. Maybe reddit can help with that.
Please consider using the troubledteen subreddit to link to fornits information.
