As many of you know, the unlawful troubled teen industry is year-round. You may be asking what the problem is with that. Well one of these problems is skipping out on Christmas Break and spending it away from their families in a strange place with the feelings that they have been abandoned.
Regardless of what this article says, the teens are even more safe at home and feel more comfortable spending Christmas time with their families. If they are neither mentally ill nor facing any criminal charges the family feel happier with them home for the holidays instead of with some residential treatment center that doesn't know them. Many teens have said that the time they were at these troubled teen programs was their "worst Christmas ever" because it was not like anything they were used to, and thus didn't get many gifts from family.
This is another reason why congress needs to ban these types of educational/therapeutic practices. And have educators enforce a policy where holiday breaks are mandatory for any school and program accreditation.
