description: Desperate Parents, Troubled Teens. Tragic stories of desperate parents, the choices they made, and how you can avoid making their same mistakes. In America, it's open season on children. Children have become the cash crop for a rising industry of child abuse, that targets anxious or worried parents of "defiant," "angry," "depressed," or "troubled" youth. "Vulnerable, frightened children, are abducted from home or school, are sent like prisoners-of-war to rural, remote schools and camps throughout Americ," says Alexia Parks, in her shocking new An American GULAG, Secret P.O.W. Camps for Teens. "Behind closed doors, with no one to witness their pain and suffering, these captive children may suffer abuse, sexual abuse, and torture at the hands of strangers." The book opens with a high-speed chase down backcountry roads as the author searches for a "disappeared" young relative. The unfolding story describes her descent into a secret underworld of child abuse and her discovery of America's GULAG. An American GULAG has the power to mobilize parents to protect their children from harm, by breaking the trance of such trendy words such as "attitude adjustment," "behavior modification," "emotional growth," "escort," and "therapeutic boarding school." The book concludes with Voices from the GULAG. As parents and teen survivors tell their stories, the healing process begins. It's a "must read" for parents, and for professionals in the fields of education, medicine and law, who can help prevent the abuse and torture of America's children.
