[QUOTE="thomasc, post: 477746, member: 13098"] What I'm trying to explain is that physical and psychological abuse are necessary in that kind of environment to keep the kids in line. Whatever the kid has done he's still a human being, and every "lock-in" Residential Treatment Center (RTC) I've ever heard of has violated kids' human rights in order to turn a profit. Whatever justifications a kid has for acting out in his teen years, will all be proven correct in such a setting. It doesn't help development it either retards it or makes the problem worse. The only outcome such a program is capable of delivering is a child so traumatized he doesn't act out or see his old friends anymore because he's afraid to do anything at all. You don't know how hard it is to start any kind of life on your own after you've been in such a setting which is really comparable to a POW camp or similar. [/QUOTE]
