Some people might want to be warned, is the word "triggering"?

Frankly, the whole story is disgusting me, and I don't have any brainwashing in my past.

Oh man. I've heard about that place before. Once, a girl committed suicide by jumping off the roof. Towels were used to clean up after the stain she left behind, towels that were not even washed before they were given back to the inmates. One kid ended up with blood and hair on his. Lovely.

There's some great information at this page (http://www.intrepidnetreporters.com/TeenHelp/teenhelp.html). Be sure to check out a mother's experience (http://www.intrepidnetreporters.com/TeenHelp/breaking.htm), in which a woman who enrolled her daughter into Tranquility Bay writes about why she did it and how the people who run those programs get parents to go along with them. It seems the directors of those programs brainwash and intimidate the parents about as much as they do the kids. It's really long, but a really good read that gives a lot of new perspective on the whole thing.
