I would like to use this post to draw attention to the Toubled Teen Industry. Its foundations are rooted in the Synanon.

Former Synanon members founded an organization called CEDU https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CEDU

CEDU created therapeutic boarding schools and wilderness retreats marketed for "troubled teens." These schools and programs used behavioral modification and therapy created by Synanon to control and brainwash the students. These schools still exist today as members of CEDU branched off and founded their own organizations.

The best site dedicated to compiling this knowledge isn't even available right now http://wiki.fornits.com/index.php/Main_Page

Came to see if the troubled teen industry or Fornits was mentioned. Amazed to find out how far this cult has spread and how many it's affected.
