Mariel Chance, now a therapist, is ready to speak up about her experience with the TTI. Mariel was in Red Rock Canyon school in Utah and SAFE inc in Florida.

Every year thousands of young people are sent against their will to facilities designed to control their behavior. These facilities have several different names –  boot camps, behavior modification facilities, wilderness therapy, gay conversion – but they are all marketed to parents who feel like they need to change their child’s behavior and are known collectively as the Troubled Teen Industry. These services claim to fix anything the parent thinks is a problem; being disrespectful, staying out late, drug use, entitlement, or playing too many video games can all fall under this category. The method of diagnosis is often a brief online questionnaire that is almost guaranteed to yield some kind of disorder. If the parents decide to heed the program’s advice, their children are trapped in highly unregulated and often secluded camps with no means of defense or outside contact. - The "Troubled Teen" Industry- NYRA

Some say Blue's story falls into TTI, but there is no doubt the story falls into abuse from the Christian educational system. From 1st grad to 12th grade Blue was apart of the Christian educational system. All courses were based around religion and all that was taught was approved based around the christian beliefs.
