The Cult of The Troubled Teen Industry
Sounds Like A Cult
Why Are We Giving So Much Money to a Privatized Industry?
Troubled tean industry has received an estimated 23 billion dollars of public funds a year. Why are we giving so much money to a privatized industry? Yet this is public funding, despite their being ro federal legislation that oversees the troubled tean industry. These public funds should be going to actual, publicly accessible programme. There aren't enough healthy, free resources for parents to access for their children. The lack of consent within the industry and the use of aversive technique seems to almost always lead to a form of authoritarian control. We are just beginning to understand the magnitude of these harms and the psychological s that we experienced within these facilities.
