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

Where you work: "a non-hospital facility with a provider agreement with a State Medicaid Agency to provide the inpatient services benefit to Medicaid-eligible individuals under the age of 21"

What this is: "a boarding school for troubled teens"

You don't know what you're talking about.

Please tell me at what point I said anything worth arguing over. All I said was that I was not willing to have an opinion on this without more information.

Edit: According to its website, Diamond Ranch Academy is accredited by the Joint Commission. I do wonder how recently CMS has come by for an audit.

You don't know shit all about the "troubled teen" industry or how it operates. How's that for starters?

LOL. I'm an RTC employee commenting on an article about a JC-accredited RTC, but I'm the one who doesn't know what they're talking about. You're just arguing to argue.

And you're defending what is, in all likelihood, a case of abuse or neglect in an industry where abuse and neglect are endemic. There are two possibilities: you've worked in an abusive "teen correction" facility and are yourself completely implicated, or you have not and don't understand how corrupt and dangerous they are.

Because they are part of the abusive system. Abusers never admit they're abusers.

You can't tell me where I'm defending the RTC, because at no point have I done so. You're so blinded by your desire to be right that you can't even read right now. Take a step back.

It's probably your post history plus this.

State run treatment facilities are not what these are. Having lived in Utah I can confirm many of the folks there want these all to go away.

HOWEVER.

Some 'facilities' out there - like MSPA, and similar ones in the larger cities - are quite actually pre school for spoiled and sometimes nutty rich kids. No one here would want to hear that.
