      I disagree. Those are vulnerable people and this kind of behavior is a big red flag for abuse. If Utah is overprotective of it’s wards, it’s the only State in the nation that is.

        I don’t think you’re picking up what I’m putting down. The troubled teen industry is notorious for child abuse, and Utah has a history of allowing it. These schools are disgustingly profitable, they pay off politicians and police to look the other way, and if by some chance they do get shut down, the kids get transferred to another abusive school and none of the scumbags running the place get arrested, so they just go start another one. It’s an epidemic that the media has only scratched the surface of.
