Summary

The Troubled Teen Industry is finally getting the exposure that it deserves! Ash and Fallon break down the third episode, and there's some good news at the end of this one!

In the final episode, "Follow the Money", we find that, "with programs around the globe and exorbitant tuition, money was rolling in — but where was it going? A trail of dodgy dealings leads TO THE TOP." - Netflix

Omg y'all finally someone said it besides me... every freaking time!


The Program: Cons, Cults, and Kidnapping: "Years after being sent to a disciplinary school, a woman who is haunted by her experiences decides to expose the corruption and abuse of the troubled teen industry." - Netflix

TW: child abuse of every kind.
