Name: Isabelle Zehnder on May 14, 2006Comments: As the founder of the Coalition Against Institutionalized Child Abuse, it is my goal to ensure that children institutionalized in residential treatment facilities receive the respect, love, and kindness that they deserve, and that congress will act to ensure this happens. It is time that the neglect, abuse, and deaths come to an end. The current tough-love industry focuses on tough but forgets the love. It is time for major reform to this industry.Flag

Name: Anonymous on May 14, 2006Comments: Community Alliance for the Ethical Treatment of Youth (CAFETY) is a volunteer, youth-run effort working in support of the protection for human rights of youth in punitive behavior modification boot camps, wilderness programs, and 'therapeutic' boarding schools. We have all experienced first hand the harm that can occur at an unregulated/unlicensed facility and it has taken us years to recover- some have not been so lucky. Please help end the abuse by passing this piece of legislation.Flag

Name: VRIET on May 15, 2006Comments: il faut faire tout ce qui est en notre pouvoir pour que de telles choses ne puissent plus exister car il est clair que ce ne sont pas les politiques qui interviendront étant donné leur sens des priorités (l'argent est plus important que l'humain...). Si je pouvais faire quelque chose de plus, merci de me le dire.Flag

Name: Jordan Riak on May 16, 2006Comments: The near-total absence of governmental regulation and oversight of locked residential "treatment" facilities where children are warehoused closely parallels conditions in the pre-FDA days of the Wild West when itinerant pitchmen peddled fake remedies to the gullible. But there is one important distinction. When people became ill as a result of using a homemade brew that proved toxic, the peddler who sold it would have his cart smashed and be lucky to get out of town alive. The "troubled-teen" industry runs no such risk. When their product fails -- as it usually does -- they blame the customer. And there are no refunds.Flag
