Honestly I knew a few kids whose parents sent them to places like this ~15 years ago, and it’s not nearly the evil thing you’re making it out to be. The decision to do it was hard as fuck on the parents, and in each case it came after they had tried over and over to use softer/better methods. A lot of the times the only possible outcomes at that point are the kids get gooned by the facilities, or gooned by the cops straight to juvy.

I think, done right, these facilities can be a good thing for troubled kids. The problem is a lot of stuff is coming out now about how some of them do really fucked up stuff, which most of the time the parents didn’t know about.
