I remember reading about Tranquility Bay on the Something Awful forums yeeeeeears back. This has been going on far too long. I'm sorry you had to endure the trauma of one of those places, and it's such bullshit that you're still suffering the effects.

It's like another planet at these places. They'll say they're "therapeutic boarding schools" but not actually employ therapists. They also say they're "college preparatory" but where I went most of the teachers are just random people from AA or NA with no actual teaching qualifications. This place had nurses, but they were LPNs and the RN who was supposed to be supervising them didn't actually work there. They didn't do any meaningful physical check-ups (at least where I was all they did was weigh every student monthly), so if where this person went was anything like where I was nobody would have noticed she was sick or done anything about it. Totally crazy, I really wonder what it will take to shut them all down.
