It is a sad fact that the United States has not protected the human rights of children in private residential treatment and wilderness camps. These programs remain largely unregulated and terrible abuse happens while children are kept from communicating with their families and getting advocacy for even their most basic needs. The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee needs to schedule a hearing on HR 911 the Stop Child Abuse in Residential Programs for Teens Act of 2009.

I love the first parenting lesson you have. I can not tell you how many times I have approached a parent of teen only for they to live in denial that there child could do such a thing.

I do often wonder if I was to find out if my teenager was using at any level would I take the same approach…I would probably pull out all the baby pictures and choose to live in denial as well…
