The Troubled Teen Industry: Dr. Corey Gentry Exposes a $30 Billion Scam Preying on Kids

from Spirits and Stories With Donald Dunn

Most parents have no idea there’s a multi-billion-dollar industry quietly profiting from vulnerable kids — and too often, it’s built on manipulation, control, and trauma. In this powerful interview, Dr. Corey Gentry shares his story from survivor to activist. As a teenager, he was placed in a “treatment program” that forced isolation, stripped education, and left deep psychological scars. Years later, he returned — not as a patient, but as a whistleblower with a PhD in power, systemic violence, and conflict resolution. Today, Dr. Gentry exposes the hidden world of the Troubled Teen Industry, how families are targeted, how kids are trapped, and how unregulated facilities earn tens of thousands of dollars a month by breaking young people instead of helping them. We talk: ✅ How teens are manipulated into “treatment” ✅ How parents are convinced to sign over control ✅ Why these programs look glamorous—but destroy lives ✅ Why insurance companies fuel the scam ✅ The terrifying lack of regulation ✅ What REAL treatment looks like ✅ How parents can recognize red flags and protect their kids Dr. Gentry’s book Selling Sanity and his nonprofit are fighting for accountability, regulation, and the safety of vulnerable kids. 📚 Buy Selling Sanity – Amazon 🌐 Contact Dr. Gentry for resources or placement help: [email protected] 🔗 LinkedIn / X: Corey Gentry
