Before sending their teen to Tranquility, parents are advised that it might be prudent to keep their plan a secret, and employ an approved escort service to break the news. The first most teenagers hear of Tranquility is therefore when they are woken from their beds at home at 4am by guards, who place them in a van, handcuffed if necessary, drive them to an airport and fly them to Jamaica. The child will not be allowed to speak to his or her parents for up to six months, or see them for up to a year.

That is truly turly frightening.

Saw something similar on local news a few months back. Some mum had sent her wayward daughter to a boot camp in New Mexico and left her there for a year. Conned her into thinking she was going on a cool USA trip then just handed her over. Insane.
