Sending a kid to a ranch, or rehab facility, or "camps" isn't direct violence. If I send my kids to summer camp, I'm not punching them in the face. There is a difference... and the fact that you can't identify that and 4 other people upvoted you speaks about our current societies problems.
I think you are not aware how troubled teen industry is run at least in the US. Just so you are aware that they are places full of physical, sexual and mental abuse. It is like you sent your kids to a camp but instead of summer camp, it was a refugee or concentration camp.
