"Real" conversion therapy likely would have been damaging and more expensive. Also, that cash may have given anon some leverage to do things without his parents knowing, also a good thing in the situation described.

A bit of a scam, sure, but it's not like "real" conversion therapy isn't, while also inflicting trauma on the recipients.

Of course real conversion therapy would be far worse, and of course it shouldn't have happened. Doesn't change the fact the guy helped himself to a $700. If he donated the money to conversion therapy victims, or at least given it all to the kid, it would have been fine.
