Can't help but feel there's got to be a connection to school shootings here. Perhaps American teens are canaries in a coal mine, where the 'coal mine' is American culture at home, at school, and on the 'net, and the dangerous gasses are those of cruelty, hatred, anger, violence, and fear. Teens are going through a lot, individuating and becoming adults, yet they live in the same confusing stew we all do now, and do not have the tools to deal with these unprecedented cultural toxins.

IMO these re-education camps are problematic, even when done "correctly", because they don't address the underlying cause of teen misery. And in fact they do more harm than good, for the simple reason that the teen is held accountable for our systemic failures. It is the parents' philosophy of rugged individualism acted out for profit using children as guinea pigs.
