In regards to the deceptive marketing and the education consultants, it's seems next to impossible to distinguish the legitimate non-abusive boarding schools from the fraudulent and abusive programs. Many of these programs referred by education consultants appear to be normal college prep schools. Since they are part of the troubled teen industry, they call themselves "therapeutic" boarding schools when they are actually just residential treatment centers. However the abusive programs have content in their enrollment forms that other schools/programs don't have. They have enrollment agreements which states they are not liable for any wrong doing and cannot be sued. This also allows them to re-open under a new name and go unpunished. Read this carefully parents, because this is REALLY A BRIBE!
