Theres no such thing as a "Troubled Teen"
In the 1960s the CIA in partnership with American Universities conducted mind control experiments on citizen students under many names but most famously MK Ultra and the Standford Prison Experiment. They used drugs and war time tactics on the an unsuspecting public to study mind control and brainwashing. Some of these "alumni" later became famous for their own forms of mind control. Charles Manson the murderous cult leader, Bill Wilson of Alcholics Anonymous, Ted Kznensky the Unibomber, and more. Charles Dederich is quiet in pop culture but most import to our story. He was a student at UCLA who took LSD under the guidance of the same CIA employees who ran MK Ultra and then later build a cult following. Charles Dederich called his shit show Synanon.
He used the 12 steps from Bill Wilson's AA, added a Manson style commune, and his own personal flair of attack therapy, shame, guilt, and pubic humilation. It was this combination choosen as the template to replicate in what could be miscontruted as at attack on American Youth. More accuratly, a system of schools was built in little niche pockets across America, using curriculums, tactics, and mileu resemebling WW2 Chinese prison reform camps and Synanon.
A hidden brainwashing engines tearing through free souls and outputing brainwashed cultist at war with their own identities, willing to submit. They arrogantly called the first of these programs for children, The Seed.
American parents hold legal control over their children until age 18, leaving all forms of oversight unable to intervene or determine what curriculums are acceptable. These programs continue to operate in a gray zone where they falsely advertise.
The key to understanding Synanon, and the thousands of childrens program that followed the modal created by Synanon is that shame and guilt are performed in public masking itself as therapy. It almost a century that this industry has thrived in America, profiting off pain while leaving a trail of trauma.
Children are stripped of identity, overwhelmed by control, and trapped in a system where "winning" is impossible. And they tell parents their kids are going to die if they don't go They call these brainwashing petri dishes...

Since Infinity, survivors have spoken out but its been hard to listen. Hard to put the pieces together. Hard to save families from falling prey. But there has been progress. Brave souls said fuck it and pushed back. They spoke up, organized, produced content and shifted a few conversaions.
This website is an attempt to help us connect dots and view the network at large. By listening to individual accounts, we can trace the staff, uncover the curriculums, hear from the public uncensored. We can visually represent the abuse or lack their of, across a timeline and map to convey the true scale and inner working of the industry.
