Caution! THIS STORY IS ABOUT THE ABUSE OF CHILDREN!A for-profit health company bought by Bain -- that Romney profits from -- has exploded in size and tales of neglect
By Art Levine
"The failure at Youth Care was not due simply to the carelessness of a few workers — a point underscored when a Utah court found that the threshold needed to pursue criminal negligence charges against the two monitors in 2008 wasn’t met and the charges were dismissed. And it wasn’t the only example of alleged negligence or abuse at treatment centers for adult addicts and “troubled teens” that are owned by Aspen’s parent company, CRC Health Group, according to a Salon investigation based on government reports, court filings and official complaints by parents and employees, along with interviews with former clients and staff."

That picture of Synanon reminded me of how they went from being a community rehab, then a church and finally to forced abortions for all women, all men were held down and given vasectomies and the rattlesnake in the mailbox.

wow mj, not used to you posting articles like this. very informative and in many ways, the way that Bain has shaped CRC seems to be a foretelling of how Mitt Romney would like to see national healthcare....all about profits for investors. scary stuff. +^d on this piece.

you have to draw the line somewhere. I am not going to vote for Obama either. I think I am going to vote for Virgil Goode for President of the United States. He is going to be on the ballot.

Even worse because it was more widespread was what happened at the companies that were forced into bankruptcy that shows the insidiousness of "the dark side" by destroying the livelihood of many to benefit a very select few.

"A former plant worker in Indiana who tells the story: One day he was told to build a small stage and, shortly after, Romney’s Bain colleagues herded the workers in front of the stage to tell them they were fired. Romney, the worker says, made $100 million by shutting down the plant."

It's all about holy-money with the 1%ers, they are soul-less things, doesn't matter to them for a second where the holy-money comes from or what level of pure -EVIL- is done to get it, just that you do get it.
