Youth Gulags back in the "mainstream"?

This could correctly go in PTSD, Survivors of Abuse, Alcohol and Substance Abuse, Pychology, as well as other forums some of which we don't have on this site so I've posted it in general.

With ABC's broadcast of "Brat Camp" the delusional and harmful cultish youth gulags seem to be getting approval by the media. This ******** has got to stop; those kids needed competent help not torture, brainmushing, and regimentation. The whole boot camp concept has been discredited and doesn't work at best while sometimes killing people.
They meanwhile pass on the authoritarian "behavior modification" crappy ideas that coerce obedience without thought setting their victims up to be further victimized until they can become the abusers. ABC should be censured for trying to profit from this spectacle. That one show will no doubt result in more deaths and abuse by such misguided groups and the parents and friends they con.
