Book: Tough Love - Truth Behind The Trouble Teen Industry

In 2004 a teenage girl was handcuffed by two hired goons in Lansing, Michigan. The girl, hardly someone you could label as an at-risk teenager in any way was forcely been taken to a so-called boarding school in Mexico, which the authorities later shut down.

Almost a decade later she has worked her through the emotional scars this experience inflicted upon her and she has chosen to write her story.

Lillian Speerbrecker's biography gives the readers an insight in a world so cruel that there should have been made laws against the existence of such places decades ago, but as it always has been the case with so-called experts claiming to help parents raising their children, it is about the money.
