Couple of issues on the courses for kids 'thing'...
Landmark and other LGATs offer these courses, and attempt to engage participants in a similar psychological screening process, which one assumes in the case of child participants is performed by the parents. There is an informed consent form for these kids courses, which details psychological conditions, and, I believe, family circumstances that may cause a child to have a negative reaction to this form of "therapy". Landmark parents very often enroll their children in Landmark programs and from an early age. Are these parents or children capable of engaging in 'informed consent'?
Given the NXIVM revelations, it seems that parents should be both wary of the nature of these programs, and the people administering them. If they are delivered 'internationally', there is less assurance of personnel checks, etc.
