Teen Torture Inc (Max)

Quote

Max 3-part doc series that premieres July 11

Synopsis: This arced documentary series follows ongoing efforts to expose America’s “troubled teen” industry (TTI). For six decades and counting, this billion-dollar business has used what it calls “tough love” as a form of treatment despite numerous deaths, countless suicides, life-altering injuries, and instances of child sexual abuse.

Until recently, nobody has been able to stop it. The series follows a recurring band of young survivors and whistleblowers and their harrowing first-hand accounts of extreme abuse and cult-like brainwashing at the hands of these programs, starting a social media firestorm in 2021.

Series about the abusive "troubled teen" industry.  Paris Hilton has been outspoken about her time in one of these hellholes.  I have watched most of the first episode, and I'm glad to see that they are calling out Dr. Phil for his part in perpetuating these horrors.
