also , i hate this, the parents are devoted parents trying to do the best bullshit...no, the parents lock there kids up for 4 years - 6 years in these places and then routinely, simply throw them out of the house when they get home after they have been mentally destroyed. They are not devoted- they are devoted to having nothing to do with their kids, as often or not.
I wish theyd focus more on the physiological aspect of the industry- the colloquially reffered to brainwashing element.

Seems like these places are most popular in the mid-west & 'mountian' region.
That is cause Sembler is so fucking old that he can't do the "treatment abuse" thing. Also, they can make more money raping the land and building shopping centers no one wants or needs. Also, the mormon folks take the cue's from the "elders" of the church and they definitely support these programs.
