When Care Becomes Risk: Inside the Troubled-Teen Industry

TL;DR Summary
A CBS News investigation examines the troubled teen industry, focusing on CALO in Missouri where families allege abuse and lawsuits, police records show hundreds of calls, and former staff have been convicted; with heavy public and private funding and minimal federal oversight, advocates call for a national database, standardized licensing, and a federal bill of rights, while some youths credit treatment with saving lives but note the high cost and uneven quality.
