Today is the final episode on the Pride filled out-of-control billion-dollar Troubled Teen Industry. WWASP, deaths and lack of regulation - all stops along the winding road from Synanon. We’re not talking about insects, but an organization that runs dozens of troubled teen camps across the country and the world. Their sting? Just as painful, and sometimes, even deadly.

And like, Chuck Dietrich of Synanon, we have another unqualified man ready to carry the torch of attack therapy and abuse all the way to the bank. A man by the name of Robert Litchfield, who without the benefit of a college degree, parlayed his work into a multi million dollar industry.

And inspired scores of programs like his that are responsible for many horrific deaths of children, a few of which we will hear about today.

We will also hear about what Breaking Code Silence and celebrities like Paris Hilton are doing to shut these facilities down.
