Zita, you're a very precocious young lady.
Jk, I know this isn't her. But I don't disagree w/ you at all. That's why I always refer to this industry as the troubled parent industry. I don't think the kids who land up in these places are exceptional. Some have issues going in, others don't, not significantly different from any highschool class anywhere. The sole factor that seperates these unfortunate kids from all the rest in this country is poor judgement on the part of the parents.
But what kind of person capitalizes on that kind of poor judgement? People tend to have very poor judgement when it comes to certain addictive substances, too. But do decent people become crack dealers? What kind of person takes advantage of the poor judgement of others in such a way?
There is a difference between shitty parents and people who take advantage of them. Shitty parents have to live for the rest of their lives w/ the dire consequences of shitty parenting. There are no do overs. People who take advantage of them just take the money and run. Then they turn on the marks like rabid jackals when they start to figure out the scam.
Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism--how passionately I hate them!
