No More Nightmares at Tranquility Bay?

[i]From the Czech Republic to Costa Rica and Mexico, cops have seized American overseers for caging or mistreating American teens at harsh “boot camps” run under foreign flags to escape U.S. law.

But here at home, the companies that ship teenagers to remote reform schools can freely go about their business in many states. You can dial 1-800-355-TEEN to reach the sales staff of Teen Help, LLC, who can arrange for your child to be spirited away. They might put you in touch with “escorts,” guys who can pull up to your driveway in a van and transport even the most defiant child to the airport. The next destination is up to you: a “tough love” school here in the 50 states, like Majestic Ranch in Utah or Spring Creek Lodge Academy in Montana?

Or perhaps Tranquility Bay, a barbed-wire discipline facility in Jamaica, where some of the approximately 250 teens can find themselves confined against their will and marched around by guards…[/i]

Terrible, just terrible…

So do they have to be teens? I have a couple of students that could use a little discipline…

Just kidding. Dog cages, fire ants and cattle prods probably aren’t the best thing for them.

How about parents actually look after their children rather than hustling them around all over the place under the constant care of others?

Grr. rant over thank you.
