The title of Lifetime’s new series “Teen Trouble” pretty much says it all — trying to bring out-of-control kids back from the brink.

But three weeks after its premiere, the show is under fire for sending kids to youth rehab facilities with histories of abuse allegations, lawsuits and even deaths.

In last Friday’s episode, the show’s host, a teen expert and author named Josh Shipp, arranges for a 16-year-old girl with a drinking problem to attend Axios Youth Community in Colorado.

A few weeks after the episode was shot last year, Axios was shuttered amid allegations a former employee had molested a 13-year-old student.

CCA is one of his investments. They are known for being rather stingy with pay and hiring people who aren't qualified to deal with troubled children. Of course, they were trying to evade taxes by forming an REIT, too. Romney sold the stock; it seems that it was too public and too ugly.
