With the year coming to an end, it's time to recap the nations progress in ending the controversial troubled teen industry. A good amount of schools have been closed an even properties sold to other private educators! And what's best is that there is a new revival of the failed treatment bill proposed in 2008 called the "Stop Child Abuse in Residential Treatment Programs for Teens Act of 2011! This is just one step closer to bringing the whole black market industry down since abusive practices is the only thing these programs operate on.
Schools closed this year were; Elan, Ridge Creek School, and even a WWASPS facility Mentor School. One amazing feat is a new christian boarding school has opened on the site of the closed Carolina Springs Academy, another WWASPS school closed in 2009.
Let's hope to see much more facilities shut down in 2012!
