Two new web-sites offers a list of facilities where teens in the
United States can be placed:

They are - if the imformation is at disposal - complete with address,
description of living conditions, consequences used when the teen does
not behave.

If a child has died there and it is NOT settled out of court like it
is the case in most cases (92 percent) the individual site does also
include a reference to a news article.

There are also links to the webpage of each program, links to watch-
organisation if the program is mentioned on those pages, myspace or
yahoo -groups of former participants so you as a parent can mail them
and ask what they felt are good and bad about each program.

Last but not least, there are links to forums where the program is
discussed.

The URL's for those new sites are:
