Another abusive program closed!

Abusive teen confinement cults are dropping like flies.

Now, Mount Batchelor Academy near Prineville, Oregon, is closing for good.

This after the program had its license temporarily suspended by the state because of abuse. Mount Batchelor now says it will not reopen at all.

The Bend Bulletin ran an interesting article on Sunday about this program's troubled history:

Mount Batchelor was based largely on the old Synanon cult. But so are many other teen programs - from so-called "rehabs" to psychiatric "hospitals."

Sadly, many parents don't realize it's a scam until it's too late.
