I was in the Hospital when I was younger. A friend of mine was in both the Hospital and the Village around the same time.
I don't really feel like going into the long story of it all, but suffice to say, it wasn't a positive experience. Many people I know who went to such places come out feeling like a tortured prisoner of war or something.
It is a glaring example of how primitive our collective academic understanding of the human mind actually is; that these "qualified", "well trained" "professionals" can take a troubled child and actually make things so much worse.

i know just what you ppl are talking about. my son was in (Peninsula) when he was younger, they lied to us about when we could see him. so after we had not heard from him or them, we went their and demanded to see him. he was scared to death. amoung other things he told us went on there. that place needs to be shut down! particualrly the doc that was there liked to take naked pics of kids! We had it investigated and get this the only thing that was done to the perv was he was not allowed to work with children anymore, oh i won't say his name but i will give you his ints. Dr. D D,maybe some of you will know who i am talking about. and i am not even sure that i believe he was banned from working with children!
it is sad though that thoese places are run under govt. funding!
