Ban Therapeutic Boarding Schools/Residential Treatment Centers from admitting Children under 16!

Created by E.G. on February 14, 2014

The monetary driven child therapeutic school systems needs a major evaluation from our government. Considering most systems accept children (disorder or not) at the earliest average age of 5-11, there needs to be legal boundaries that parents and treatment providers must legally abide by according to age. These treatment centers base their curriculum/rehabilitation on adult based procedures including extreme medicating with psycho/narcotic drugs (including tranquilizers), physical and forceful restraining, strip searching, verbal and emotional manipulation, and forced physical labor. These are just a few of the major treatment methods that these children in most centers are forced by contract to endure in order for them to "successfully complete treatment." THESE KIDS ARE TOO YOUNG!
