  • As I indicated in my responses above, this topic is very controversial but U.S. law gives parents the legal rights to make such decisions for their child. It is obviously up to the parents on deciding at what point such an intervention is necessitated. Since we do not use fear, intimidation, or deceit in our approach, most interventions go very smoothly.

  • I have personally attended two teen treatment programs, transported my younger brother into wilderness, and assisted over 1000 American parents and teens in the transport intervention process. Almost every transport intervention we have provided has ended with a positve rapport between us and the child. This of course comes down the specific training and focus of each transport service. I have found it to be a rewarding process and several teens have come back to thank us.

  • Transporting a teen against his/her will is definitely a controversial topic. How the child is transported is even more controversial. While under current law, American parents have the legal ability to hire such services, the hired escort services are not granted legal authority to use unnecessary force and intimidation. Much of the ethics of a youth transport come down to how the specific service trains its staff and approaches each intervention.

  • I don't care what kind of a happy face you try to paint on it; when you physically abduct a person (yes, a teenager is a person, believe it or not) who hasn't been convicted of anything, against their will, it's called KIDNAPPING.

    New Start, WWASPS, NATSAP...mercenary bastards all. Try picking on a kid who's not helpless in his bed and see what happens, you scum.
