Do the research, and then get back to us.  Tell us that you would send your deeply troubled teenage daughter to one of these programs.  And remember that many DCUM parents don't even allow neighborhood sleepovers for their daughters at this age if there is  a brother in the house, for fear of molestation.

So here's my baggage: if my tween was in crisis, I would want her to get treatment backed up by evidence based research. I would want to know she was safe, and not being abused or molested. I would want to work with her care providers as a family  to help her-- rather than dumping her in the woods with a sleeping bag and no way to contact me, and expecting to pick up a "cured" kid without other family members playing a role. If something went wrong, I would want her to be able to contact me. I don't see where that makes me the crackpot in this situation. But my kids aren't running away from home. So...

You clearly have no PT researched these programs, and read about the abuse of kids that is rampant, and the high rate of kids getting worse, not better. .  Google a bit, and then report back. [/quote]
