The media now seems to be catching on this which is rare for them to do. However, until things are set right with government action and change it will continue.
This video and article explains very clearly that the vast majority of at-risk youth DO NOT need out-of home treatment. We also need to convince private boarding and day schools across the country to expand the pool of special needs students they work with because otherwise they will be placed in facilities like this where they are abused and denied education. And if the child does need treatment, they must receive out-patient home based therapy before applying to other education options. Otherwise the parent and child are setting themselves up for years of shame and regret. And also to avoid education consultants at all cost as there are only a hand full of honest ones with no oversight on their qualifications.
