Let me see here, being locked up from when I was 12-16, only getting out by running away from Cross Creek, had a huge effect on my sexual maturity. Since I was deprived of having nomal relationships with the opposite sex during my incarciration.......I often sought out sexual relationships with owners, therapists, and house parents. I was successful doing this, because they were into young girls. I got the attention I was looking for.
After I ran away, and was living on my own for a year in St. George Utah, I had sex with atleast 15 different men. I had a huge appetite for sex, but my brain didn't understand what it was to have a monogomous relationship, so I had a ton of sex, ended up getting pregnant (having the abortion done in Las Vegas), and thank god I had my Aunt, and Uncle save me from a horrible life. I moved back to California entered high school, and was quickly back on track. I had my first real relationship with someone of the opposite sex, which lasted for 3 1/2 years. I was lucky that I didn't get AIDS or some other type of sexually transmitted disease during my stay in Utah.
These programs are so far from what reality is, that when you enter the real world after being there, you have no idea what the hell is going on.
Parents think that by putting their children there, that it'll save them. You come out even more screwed up, and end up doing more harm to yourself then you would've had you not been put in there in the first place.
Think long and hard before making a decision that could hurt your child.
