Money aside, can anyone see yourself being sent there? (Em immediately springs to mind. *smooch* Love ya, darlin' Childe).

In more amusing thoughts, I match/fit 19 of 34 criteria for drug addiction... *snicker* http://teendrugtreatment.com/

I remember hearing about that place. Pretty much anything that a normal teenager would do would be grounds for getting sent there,nevermind the actual bad stuff. *rolls eyes*

Yeah, people on drugs... BREATHE! That's it! That's how we'll find 'em!

I've read about these places. I'm interested to know what kind of human beings are going to come out of them. We probably won't see proper backlash until then.

And hey... I wonder if this could be considered a bit of a precedent, but... people have now gotten in trouble under U.S. law for abuses they inflicted on children in other countries... it was specifically a case where a guy hired child prostitutes in Asia, but I wonder how long before it applies to other things.
