A Need or a Privilege?

A lot of these programs have a philosophy that take behavior modification to the extreme. Too extreme to the point that peoples basic daily needs are often considered privileges such as sanitation of food and water, hygiene, shelter, and physical comfort. These are the things that are granted in prisons because they are human rights. What inmates are not granted is TV, Recreation Sports, and snacks because they are privileges that are earned.

Owner of Copper Canyon Opens up a New Facility for Boys

The founder of Copper Canyon Academy Tammy Behrmann has opened up an all-male equivalent on the property of Robert Lichfield's old mansion in St. George Utah. The WWASPS founder apparently sold the property to Aspen Education (which owns CCA) to open up a new facility that is bound to be abusive.

The school is called Ashcreek Ranch Academy and it just opened last month and is now included in the "Targeted Facilities" list. As usual, the website has a whole list of teenage traits they consider "serious issues". There has to be as many people as possible to close this place down ASAP because it's only a matter of time before one of the boys dies in this program.

And this B!tch Tammy Behrmann should be arrested along with the closure of CCA.

Children’s Mental Health Accessibility Act is Just What we Need!

This seems like a dream come true for industry survivors and kids in need of mental health services outside of institutions. Two Senators proposed a bill called the Children's Mental Health Accessibility Act of 2012 to expand Medicaid Home Services to include youth that would otherwise need placement in a residential treatment facility's instead of a psychiatric hospital. As there are many teens who's issues do not require in patient care, for many years they were forced to go into some other facility as no government programs yet exist.

This bill will also cost taxpayers a lot less money if fewer people are housed in State Hospitals (where most survivors of youth residential centers eventually end up). And the government will have to spend less money too. More information about the bill can be read about here.

Bain's CRC Health uses cheap labor to sell out

The CRC Health Group and Aspen Education were both purchased by Bain in 2006 after several investments were made. It's interesting that Bain would purchase companies that were already abusing kids with untrained staff and innepropriate therapy. These cases of abuse had spiked after Bain took over and more people died like in the case of Brendan Blum back in 2007. He died a VERY agonizing death from a twisted bowel when staff in the program believed that he was faking.

More insight to Mitt Romneys connections to Asped Education Group and Bain Capital

Mitt Romney seems to be the voice of freedom and hope and not for other demographics. This mainly have to do with young people enrolled in for-profit education programs including programs for so-called troubled teens. Bain Capital has acquired both CRC Health and Aspen Education Group which Bain later merged the two together.

This article tells more about the notoriously abusive facilities and people who have died in these places. Because of Aspen Education Group being a part of Bain Capital, it has now been able to open more abusive facilities while making more money than ever. Hopefully those facilities won't last long as the whole industry was based off of the Synanon module of therapy which should be banned nationwide.
