Along the way, they explore the evolving role of grandparents in our lives: the support, wisdom, and unexpected gifts they offer as families change.
Featuring a touching voiceover with a treasured audio clip of Jason’s late grandpa and a special memory shared by his brother Andy, this episode blends personal stories, science, and social commentary to uncover why grandparents matter more than we often realize.

🎙️ Episode 88: "My Parents Had Me Kidnapped"
In this gripping solo episode of Put Em On The Couch, host Jason McCoy, college psychology professor and mental health advocate, pulls back the curtain on the dark underworld of the Troubled Teen Industry (TTI)—a billion-dollar network of controversial youth programs, "behavioral boot camps," and residential treatment centers.
You’ll hear the harrowing true story of Kelly, a young woman who was forcibly removed from her bedroom in the middle of the night by two strangers wearing shirts labeled only “TRANSPORT.” Her journey—spanning several states from Maryland to Georgia—echoes the chilling experiences recently brought to light by Paris Hilton, who has become a vocal advocate for survivors of TTI abuse.
Just like Paris, Kelly’s ordeal began with a decision made not by the state—but by her own family. With the support of her grandparents, her parents researched “what to do with a troubled teen” and signed off on a journey that would leave lasting emotional scars.
🎧 Tune in as we explore:

What really happens inside these unregulated programs

Why families turn to the TTI as a solution

The psychological trauma of youth transport and forced institutionalization

How survivors like Kelly are finding their voices—and their healing

Whether you're a parent, educator, mental health professional, or just someone who believes in protecting vulnerable teens, this is an episode you can't afford to miss.
