*This online book and expose documents boarding schools, behavior modification schools, boot camps, boot camps for boys, boot camps for girls, toughlove boot camps, toughlove and boot camps, toughlove and boot camps (bootcamps) for struggling, defiant, rebellious, in-your-face, out-of-control teenagers and attitude adjustment camps for teens that use brainwashing, child abuse and child torture and may violate the civil rights and human rights of teens. These schools conduct sophisticated marketing efforts that target parents with troubled teens--such as youth with drug or alcohol abuse problems, attention deficit disorder, oppositional defiance disorder, and gender identity disorder, among others. This book is recommended for parents looking for behavioral and therapeutic solutions such as mentoring, as well as for children's rights, patients' rights and human rights activists concerned with issues related to involuntary treatment, shock therapy,
coercive escort services, and other violations of the rights of teens.

An American GULAG is especially timely given the current public controversy and news stories in the national media relating to alleged abusive practices at Tranquility Bay, Spring Creek Lodge, Cross Creek Manor, and Brightway Adolescent Hospital--all under the TeenHelp umbrella and marketed by Adolescent Services International. A Time Magazine article 1/26/98, for example, described a contract signed by parents which allowed the use of mace and stun-guns on children sent to their facility for behavior modification. An estimated 2,000 behavior modification "boarding schools" and attitude adjustment camps exist in the U.S. They are unregulated and may include child abuse and child torture practices which may violate the human and civil rights of teens. Some keywords that parents may use in searching for this website may include: teen rage, teen violence, Columbine High School, Columbine Massacre, anger disorder, violence and teens, struggling teens, defiant teens, Marilyn Manson, Goth, Goths, rebellious, "out of control" teens. Red Cliffs Ascent newstory about runaway teens can be found under Red Cliffs in news stories. South Dakota and its harsh boot camp system for juvenile offenders including the death of Gina Score at a South Dakota juvenile boot camp will be posted in news stories (#3) when MotherJones.com magazine makes it available online. Our recommendation is for mentoring, parents as mentors, mentoring in the community, mentoring in the workplace and mentoring at home. When parents learn how to mentor their own children then all children will have mentors. See: 10 Golden Rules That Guide Loving Families, a 10-step program that teaches parents how to become mentors to their own children.
