Cult gets $200,000 bailout

I'm proud to say we helped chase the Kids Helping Kids cult out of Cincinnati - much like in the Old West when the townsfolk chased away purveyors of quack products. But there's still work to be done. Despite losing one of its 4 outposts, KHK's parent organization still flourishes in 3 remaining markets.

While the cult gets chased out of Cincinnati, it gets the red carpet treatment in Porter County, Indiana (just outside Chicago).

In fact, an editorial in the Times of northwestern Indiana says Porter County has just given the cult $200,000 in taxpayer funds. This is really a bailout.

The Times has been rife with favorable coverage of the cult in recent months, and this editorial seems to be no exception, as it seems to ask that the federal government also assist in this bailout.

That $200,000 could have been spent on effective community-based resources for young people who might be in need. But instead it was squandered on a lock-'em-up cult that's been confirmed to be abusive and ineffective time and time again.
