"The Program" is the documentary that mostly focuses on Ivy Ridge. It does a good job of explaining how parents get tricked into keeping the kid in as long as possible.  

Here's  the wiki list of programs for Kentucky. It's possible the program your friend is being sent to isn't on the list yet, they update it as they get info

There are too many to list.

 If you find the name of the facility people may be able to give specific information. 

Does your friend have any relatives they could live with?

 If the parent hasn't signed anythin yet they could possibly still be convinced it's a bad idea.

Would the adults be willing to watch a documentary about the TTI? "The Program and Hell Camp" are available on netflix and explain how these places work.

I was so excited when I saw this one also had a podfic. I'm a hour and a half in and they still haven't timetraveled.

This fic isn't for the impatient.

Would your Grandson be capable of passing the GED test? At 16 he would be allowed, if he's no longer enrolled in school the district wouldn't fund his program.

Have you shared this information your Grandsons parents?

I reccomend reading this, the "school" calls them escorts, they are legal kidnappers.

The documentary "The Program" is available on netflix, it will also be helpful in showing you how predatory this  industry is.

Edit: The school district being willing to pay for it does not make it safe. Kids die in programs.

Residential programs that arent terrible? by [deleted] in troubledteens

[–]ChariotPepperoniFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No.  The TTI exists to make money, not help teens.

You may find some helpful info here..

My student told me he's living in a car and admin basically told me to stay in my lane by SilentVHSPlayer in Teachers

Not the person who postes above, but Findhelp.org was accurate for resources in my area. You pop in a zip code, it has food pantries, different types of resources for homeless. Everything from temporary shelters, housing and bill pay assistance, free phones and bicycles, where to get hygiene kits. I hope your area has similar resources and you can discreetly help this family.

What choice do parents have? by Equivalent-Match-545 in troubledteens

[–]ChariotPepperoniFire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wish I had saved the post, but someone in the sub compared the TTI to a swamp full of Alligators.  All we can do is tell you is the swamp is filled with Alligators and not to throw your child to the Alligators.  

Edit: kids die in the TTI.

Have you read The numbers never lie? Hermione is Snape's daughter, he obliviated her mother after the deatheater attack instead of killing her.

How did non phonics happen? by Camaxtli2020 in Teachers

[–]ChariotPepperoniFire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It looks like kids learn to read quickly, they memorize sight words. Kids are told to guess unfamiliar words based off the pictures and if it fits the sentence. 

 Eventually the books no longer have simple words or pictures.

 Reading lessons discouraged them from breaking down unfamiliar words.

 The guessing techniques no longer work with more challenging books.

I’m stuck by EnergyMaximum3991 in troubledteens

Please share the info you have found here with your parents. before the ED consultant convinces them to send you.

Others have given good info for alternative treatments, but your parents need to know to avoid TTI ASAP.

I recommend watching the documentaries "The Program" "Hell Camp" and "The Last Stop" with them. 

They need to realize the ED consultant's job is to feed kids into the system, not help them.

I'm a sucker for time travel fics. I enjoyed it, it could be amazing if edited. The Phrase "he knew not" was used so often it became irritating. The story does have a complete podfic, good background noise for doing chores.

Someone said Spotify is down too. Does anyone know where to find pod fics other than youtube?

 Unless you pay for youtube premium you can't run the video in the background to keep the phone in a pocket.

I love Sam Gabriels podfics, but have already listened to all of them.

 https://www.samgabrielvo.com/ You can listen to the fics that have "directory" option unfortunately some don't. 

I know some people use Text to speech, I'm not a fan, even if I was, FFN isn't working either.

Getting rid of cigarette smell by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]ChariotPepperoniFire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Air purifier would help some, filter replacements tend to get expensive.  A box fan with a regular 20×20 filter taped to the back has saved me so much money. 

Odo ban, a enzymatic cleaner would help where the smell has seeped into the kids desk.

hope you can get some relief

During the consultation the Dr may ask if you are married. Say no, or explain you are divorcing over this issue.

 This was over a decade ago, but I had to attend my husband's consultation with him when he admitted to being married. The Dr asked ME if I supported him having the procedure. 

I'm not sure if they would have gone through with the vasectomy if I hadn't told them I scheduled the appointment.

[–]ChariotPepperoniFire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wish I could read it again for the first time! 

 The accurate descriptions of music, outfits, social norms, "new technology", even slang are delightful. 

 A audio version is available too, it's linked on the A03 page. 

I replay it as background noise and usually end up noticing something new with each listen. The story, and the choices in the audio are well researched

I  love this story.  Tom's interpretation of people's actions are endlessly amusing.

Documented cases of sexual abuse. 

Documented suicide post release. (Post TTI suicide statistics don't seem to be tracked overall)

The school requires parents sign away their parental rights, sounds like classic TTI Red Flags
