    Given how “therapy” programs like this are, at best, complete bullshit and, at worst, full of fraud and abuse, I’m leaning on supporting the kids here.

    Troubled teen program? Is it gay conversion or a child molestation camp?

    Calling this a therapy program is like calling leeches a cancer treatment.

    In a situation like this, it would be good to hear what they have to say. They are cut off from social media, completely deprived of the ability to communicate with someone to represent their point of view. This is terrible and the place is likely awful for them to have tried to escape like this. I hope one day when they get out of there they let people know if it was a terrible place.

    Fuck parents and family that think signing up kids to these “therapy” programs is a good thing.
