The troubled teen industry is so fucked up

I'm glad she's speaking out about this. The troubled teen industry is so disgusting and abusive.

I was watching this earlier and it made me think of a talkshow episode years ago where a mother sent her daughter to one of those camps and it was outside the country and they were having trouble getting her back. Good for her for speaking out.

parents spend money to have their "troubled" teen (aka they may party too much or drink too much or perform delinquent petty crimes) to these places to "fix them" basically. many of these places treat their teens with highly abusive measures and they do more harm than good.

I honestly don't understand how it's legal either. It's straight up child abuse.
