Episode intro: For years, so-called youth correctional institutions and \u201cgrowth camps\u201d have operated across China, marketing themselves to families struggling with mental health issues, school refusal, teenage relationships and parent-child conflict. Some charge desperate parents hundreds of thousands of yuan, while referring students between programs for hefty commissions.
