More on The Petaloma Situation

Here is another link to the story. BUT I would add, I don't think the goverment is being too harsh. The families that send their kids to these programs want some kind of promise that their kids are coming home. That a selfish teenage who decided to stay won't be allowed. Or that a well meaning family doesn't keep a younger child. If you were sending your 7 year old to another country wouldn't you want to know that they were coming home. By Tanya staying she puts the whole program at risk.
