Distinguishing enrollment forms of fraudulent Programs/Schools

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!

Below are some examples of waivers that can be seen on the facilities respected websites;
Oakley School-
In consideration of the enrollment of the Student and the services provided by Oakley, the Sponsor individually (and jointly and severally as the case may be), and on behalf of the Sponsor’s executors, administrators, heirs, next of kin, representatives, successors and assigns, agrees to: (a) waive, release and discharge Oakley and its successors, assigns, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, employees, managers, members, officers, directors, attorneys, agents and other representatives (“Released Parties”) from any and all liability for the death, disability, illness or personal injury of the Student, or damage or theft of the Student’s property, occurring while the Student is enrolled with Oakley or during any period after the Student has abandoned Oakley, whether occurring on or off the Oakley campus, and covenants not to sue any of the Released Parties with regard to the same; and (b) protect, defend, hold harmless and indemnify each of the Released Parties from and against any and all claims, actions, causes of action, proceedings, suits, costs, liabilities, damages, and expenses, whether known or unknown (including but not limited to all direct, special, incidental, exemplary and consequently damages, and losses of any kind and attorneys’ fees) based upon, resulting from and/or relating in any way to the Student’s enrollment with Oakley, including but not limited to any abandonment of Oakley’s school by the Student.

Spring Ridge Academy-
I/We now hereby release and discharge SRA, its agents, employees, and officers, from any and all claims, demands, actions, judgments, and executions, except in the case of gross negligence, which the undersigned may have against SRA for all personal injuries known or unknown, and damage to property, personal or real, caused by or arising out of Sponsor(s) and/or Student’s participation in the SRA program. I/We understand and agree that enrollment in Spring Ridge Academy and all activities relating thereto are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona and are under the jurisdiction of the courts of Arizona.
