Showing Original Post only (View all)Cracked's "6 Shocking Realities of the Secret Troubled Teen Industry." [View all]
I saw this article over at Cracked and had to share it because frankly I find it beyond a little disturbing. These places should be shut down. To be honest if your solution to your child's problems is to hand them over to strangers, and in some case have them kidnapped in the middle of the night, then you shouldn't be allowed to raise children in the first place. Frankly, I think parents who send their kids off to these places should be charged with, at least, neglect. It is beyond disgusting.
