Reply to comment by gnomewife in 17-year-old girl dies at treatment facility for troubled teens in Hurricane by ninjascotsman

Frankly, if you work in the sort of place where kids are brought in by private companies who are hired to burst into a terrified teenager's room at 2 am and physically drag them out of their home and onto a plane while the parents stand and watch, then I've got nothing more to say to you because you're one of the people ignoring the actually sick or injured children right along with Mr. Salsa Ears.

If you work in a treatment facility which is accredited and staffed with actual trained and licensed mental health professionals instead of ex-con "counselors", then you might want to look into just how awful the other places are.

She’s a religious nut from UT, I’m certain she believes she’s doing ‘the right thing’. I don’t miss my time in SLC and I feel for all the kids in Oakley, Provo, Hurricane, etc.

Considering how some of the worst of these facilities are indeed in Utah... Yikes.

Salsa Ears actually is really unwell, hence his placement at this facility. He has psychosis and frequent aggression, but therapy and medications are helping. He just doesn't have a brain bleed. I'm sorry if something I said triggered you, because I fully recognize how terrible some of these places are. I am acutely aware of the abuses that can occur to these children. I'm just not willing to throw judgment on this facility with such little information.

Why am I not shocked that you’re a Christian and defending these types of facilities.

I'm not surprised he's trying everything he can think of to have a chance at getting out, even if it's to a hospital. I'm not willing to trust you with so little information.
