The Troubled Teen Industry / Teen Trouble - Josh Shipp - EXPOSED
« on: January 22, 2013, 01:07:03 PM »
We are extremely alarmed by a new show on Lifetime called Teen Trouble. It is hosted by a famous teen coach named Josh Shipp; on it, he has sent 3 kids to 'troubled teen' chains that have been investigated for child abuse and deaths, and at least one more is likely.
These teens obviously need help, there is no doubt about that. Whether or not abuse is occurring, residential programs are an outdated mode of treatment for kids. At best, they are solution looking for a problem so that the owners can make money; at worst, kids are being tortured and killed. Parents are watching this show and being influenced by it, kids are at serious risk of being permanently damaged.
This show is hot hot hot, and it's picking up speed. They are now airing repeats on A&E and have announced it will be shown on Canada's Lifetime. Josh Shipp is making the rounds to Anderson Live, Good Morning America and other national talk shows, the media is praising him.

Children Sent Away: Trapped and Tortured?
Twenty-four-year-old Marianne says her mom, Tami, ruined her life when, as a teen, she sent her to a therapeutic boarding school for 19 months — and her “nightmare” began. Marianne says life at the facility was horrible and claims she was abused by the staff — and that her mom did nothing to stop it. Despite her daughter’s experience, Tami stands by her decision and insists that the program saved Marianne’s life. After five years of not speaking, Marianne and Tami come face to face on Dr. Phil’s stage. Can they call a truce and work on rebuilding their relationship? Then, siblings Nick and Theresa say as teens they were abused at a residential treatment facility, where they felt trapped and tortured. Their mom, Leslie, says she was brainwashed into thinking her kids would die if she took them out of the program. How did they finally get out? Looking back, what would Leslie have done differently? And, can Nick and Theresa forgive their mother? Plus, don’t miss Dr. Phil’s tips on what to look for when considering residential treatment centers or therapeutic schools.Film maker Nick Gaglia will be on the show.

Straight, Inc. and Derivatives / Deaths & Suicides
« on: March 14, 2011, 12:25:18 PM »
We'd like to honor all of our fallen comrades in the film. If you know of anyone who has passed, be it 20 years ago or this year, please let me know.
Click here for a list of names.
I realize it's a heavy topic, however, the idea is to honor them at the end of the film. Most people, unless I knew them personally or have consent from someone in their family will be listed as first name, last initial. We will not be mentioning how the person died, although we might mention what branch they were in so if you know that please include it.

I know we aren't rolling in cash these days, but if anyone can spare even $5 we are asking for donations to cover expenses for this film. The funds will go to pay for travel expenses (we have 6-8 people coming up to DC that will be filming) as well as travel expenses and equipment expenses for several other interviews we still need in NY and NJ. If you are interested in making a donation please go here http://http://www.straightincthemovie.com and click the donate button!
