Rethink Resources

From Sunshine Girl On A Rainy Day, a great blog I need to link to more often:

H.R. 5876 is the first piece of federal legislation seeking to regulate and monitor abusive treatment within teen behavior modification programs in the United States.

The bill has passed committee and will be voted on by the full House of Representatives later this month.
