    This film is weird
    This film is very abnormal even by tv movie standards.

    When arrives at the program the family are told that another teenager will be over seeing susan and that susan will be lead by forearm.

    The rules of the program forbid susan from wearing make up, listening to radio or watching tv.

    There is one scene were client called arnie is disclosing their drug use and feelings and at the end of scene he sits down and the group say at once we love you.

    In the next scene we see susan isn't going home she is being forced to live with another member of the program and that member's family. This family has went to the extreme measure of nailing the window and blocking the room door.
