I knew a minor from another family who claimed he was kidnapped from school by Lakeland and held there for several weeks while his family had to scrape together what he called "ransom," but from what little I could gather it sounds like maybe his family arranged for him to be taken from school and admitted to Lakeland, and changed their minds, hqe trouble getting him discharged, and were being hassled about a very large bill for services. I still don't know the truth, not in contact with that family anymore, but either way it sounded shady as hell and I've heard of places like these all over the country extorting money from kids' families but they don't seem to be targeting RICH families so I'd love to get some clarity on the whole system here.

Oof. They do not "kidnap" children. They do not demand "ransom". They would like for people to pay their bills, but that's pretty standard everywhere.
