Help at any cost?

In the past I've stated my anger at the "help at any cost" mentality. Mostly directed towards "reparative therapy".

Unlike our legal system, which "jumps through hoops" to avoid harm/conviction of a single innocent person, this "help at any cost" mentality takes the exact opposite approach.

Instead of worrying about any injustice or harm to an individual they only focus on the people it "helps". Tossing the harmed individuals to the side as if they don't matter. We are talking about people committing suicide due to a "therapy", not to mention the ones which will be mentally scarred for life.

Now it's happening to teens as well.

Congress is finally looking into the "troubled teen" industry and the deaths, human rights abuses and other problems that have occurred in teen "boot camps" "wilderness programs" and other "tough love" residential settings. In many states, these institutions are less regulated than dog kennels and nail salons.

This "throw away" attitude is a scourge, an assault on society.

I suppose we shouldn't be shocked since our society feels it's okay to watch men injure each other (boxing, football, etc) and are repulsed by men who love each other!
