We'll get you fixed up">...>FOR-PROFIT COMPANY IN CHARGE OF EVERYTHING (I'm calling you out, Perimeter)For the love of God, if you have any sense of decency or moral, keep your kids out of those facilities at all costs. Lie for them. Do whatever you have to do because those places are nothing but a black hole of pain and suffering, something between a penitentiary and an asylum. If you wish that on a child, maybe you should be there for a while first. And if you're an executive or own/share-own a for-profit facility for kids, I hope you know I put you lower than health insurance execs.
