private detentions are on the market?

We all know it is to be parent of a
teenager. We suddenly understand the old saying: "Small children - small
problems. Big children - big problems."
Sometime the best solution is to
ask a firm to fix your teen. Cruel? No. Would you not fix a window or a
broken part in your car.
It is the same with children and we can all consider us self lucky that
we live in 2008.
A whole industry have been created to serve your needs. No more being
ashamed of a drunken off-spring. No more risk of being prosecuted because
your child has hidden some kind of abuse and commits a crime, which could
send you to jail. No more grade books with failed courses.
These fine companies can offer:
- Private prison terms without any need of the risky court system.
- A fine diploma. Some are not accepted anywhere, but they look fine
on print and anybody knows that you don't even have to be licensed
psychologist when you run a TV-show.
- Peace for you
- Behavior fix, fix of alternative belief, gender therapy or simple
store away if you have inappropriate in a weak moment.
This page contains a records on a number of places, you can hide your
teen at until you - if the worst case scenario should be the result - can
kick he or she out on their own once they turn 18.
The right answer to that problem is what is best for you as a parent. If
you want to spend a vacation on the project - a short term boot camp or a wilderness course
can be the answer.
If you have a more long-term project or thinking of divorce where you
don't need children - either in your new life or standing against you side-by-side with
your spouse, the a long term stay would be more appropriate.
You should be very careful and consider what kind of child, you order
by the programs. You may ask yourself: What kind of adult shall my child
be in 10 year. It is like to order a car. You just don't go out and take
the offer of the week regardless of how bad you need new wheels. Do not
order a Stepford son or daughter in panic. All too many parents ends up
with dissatisfied with a product they can not stand to have in their
house.
| Type |
Description |
| Boot Camp (BC) |
Exercise - often extreme. School is poor or nonexistent. Deaths occur.
Choose this option if you want absolute no answer to an order and an
off-spring, who will function well in jobs with high demand structure and
no room for individual enterprise.
|
| Residential Therapeutic Program (RTP) |
Also known as therapeutic boarding schools. Can be all from true
lockdown known as seen on the One
Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest to spin-off from cults. If you choose the
last one, stay away from their parent seminars before you end up spending
your entire fortune. The majority of the programs in this category are
built on the theories of the Skinner
box developed by the father of modern upbringing B.
S. Skinner.
Those schools function well. As long as your child is locked up, they
are kept out of harms way and are not introduce to drugs, alcohol and sex.
However the only problem is that the protection the child enjoy inside the
box ends the minute the child leaves the school. Some program use a number
of artificial home visits in order to adjust the child to a normal life,
but there is no guarantee that does more than drain your finances.
Choose this option, if you want to warehouse your child while they
receive some kind of education. The standard are generally a little higher
among schools in this category than schools in the RRP category, but a
stay in this category also include the risk of serious emotional damage,
because therapists often appear to be licensed but most are not. This
category also consist of school, which use very experimental treatment -
some so experimental that they have only been tested on cartoons. (The
shock bracelet used on Sideshow
Bob in a Simpson cartoon are "borrowed" from Judge
Rotenberg Center).
Avoid schools which require mandatory attendance in parent seminars and
avoid being caught up in them if you choose to attend. They function like Pyramid
schemes with music, psychological games like
red-white, giver-taker. You risk ending up trying to sell the concept
to families, friends and co-workers. There are even a risk of you ending
up fixing
problems by yourself you were happily unaware of that you had
loosing focus on your child.

| Residential Religious Program (RRP) |
It is developed from the convents and monasteries from the past and
enhanced with schools. Corporal punishment are often standard.
Schooling is often below state standard due to the fact that a lot of the
needed knowledge children need today are not something that exist in
the Bible or Koran. Generally speaking you can be assure that no subject
not mentioned in the Bible or Koran will be taught.
In the States most school are either run or founded by former employees
in the so-called Roloff
homes founded by the priest Lester
Roloff. Around 1975 most states decided to ensure certain levels of
humane treatment inside these school making them move to Missouri where
there are no supervision with schools which claims to be religious at all.
Schools in this category are an excellent choice if you believe in a
single income society or consider the war against terrorism the tenth
crusade. Avoid schools, which demands mandatory church attendance by
the parents. There is no need waist time to contribute to the collects,
when you pay plenty for a lockup of your child.

| Wilderness therapy program. (WTS) |
Basically a boot camp in the wilderness. All
modern programs built on the concept developed by
Cartisano
in the late 1980's. If you know a parent, who were on a wilderness course in
the 70's you can not compare the experience because they were more
characterized as outdoor education back then.
Choose this option if you want to share your child, but do be aware
that some children don't make it back. They die out there. Go for a quiet
settlement as it is done in almost 90 percents of the deaths, so you can
keep your reputation in the local community. It is more social acceptable
to have a youth with a status of being a never-heard-from runaway or being
known to have banished your own child to certain death.

1. Find out what your off-spring shall be like
2. Find out for how long you want the child to be re-programmed
3. Investigate programs recommended by others by:
- Read what survivors speaks of in the survivor groups. If they generally
are unhappy, you can end up being murdered by them just because they have
been whipped or beaten or lost a part of the body. Several survivors are
in prison. Some even on either death
row or awaiting trial on murder
of a parent.
- Read info pages with neutral information about the program like Fornits
Wiki. If something unfortunate has happened at the program, don't
expect them to hand you clips from articles in the newspaper. Check out
threads on forums.
- If a satellite photo does not appear to show the facility like it is portrayed
in the brochure, don't be alarmed. Photo manipulation is normal in this
business like other businesses. Photos of meals in the supermarket does
not mean that the meal down at the advertising agency can be eaten.
