Teen Sex, Dr. Phil, Bain Capital, Collide: Fed Lawsuit in Utah.

It is a tale of woe - due to a showman's show. As is par for the course, Dr. Phil rants upon a family; and offers to assist. Beyond the questions of (whether or not) Dr Phil's show does his "assisting" out of purity, or just to put on a show that he is the good guy. In this case, the end is not justified by the "means" (or meanies).

As reported by the Salt Lake Tribune (here);
[br]

Two teens having sex before witnessing a third partner’s murder. Hookups with older men arranged online. Parents berated on air by Dr. Phil and then one of the teen’s confinement in a youth treatment center in Utah, where she allegedly suffered physical abuse at the hands of staff.

The fact that Bain Capital is involved, in another scandal, is not so unusual to moi; but it is getting rather sickening, to see how Bain is everywhere you go. Turns out (in this case) Bain Capital's subsidy owns the facility where alleged abuses took place. The Myers lawsuit (here) - alleges the following, alarming, state of affairs about deceptive practices at the facilities begin with;

"Their extravagant fees suggest great expertise and cloak minimal credentials"

Additionally, the lawsuit alleges that Dr. Phil had veiled conflicts of interests concerning Island View and CRC compounds. Whereas the Myers litigation (via counsel) stipulates that;
[br]

"upon information and belief, either was paid in money or notoriety, or both,
for endorsing not only Island View, but also a raft of CRC compounds just as abusive"

There's no action in the case docket (yet), other than the filing of the case;
and attorneys putting in notice of appearances.

Will follow this one - and see how it shows!
