Parents: Considering sending your child to a TBS, RTC, or Wi
« on: May 10, 2006, 07:21:00 PM »
On this forum you will find a number of people who claim to be parents, all of whom remain anonymous, and all of whom pretend to hate the idea of TBS yet inevitably end up toeing the party line and unequivocally supporting each other in arguments. A cursory glance through the longer threads will reveal this.

They aren't independent in the least. Most likely they are program employees or connected in some way. Many of them are the same person. Some of them are committed to stalking and insults. The fact that they do this speaks volumes about their integrity and their commitment to honesty.

Yes, these are the people who want your children in their institution.

If you really want to discuss your son or daughter entering a program, I have to argue against doing it in the open due to the high volume of pure nonsense. Register a moniker and send private messages to Dysfunction Junction (and not his stalker, Dysfunktionjunktion) and Three Springs Waygookin. They have direct experience and aren't on any program's payroll.

(I am certain that this post will be followed by a number of insults and anonymi.)

One thing Id ask you, TSW, is just what a program would do to someone to make them like this?

But regardless, for every pissed off teenager we have blabbering, S.T. has some idiot ADULT who tops it.

However, ultimately, the discreditation campaign is still irrelevant because what matters are the FACTS, and theyre still what they always were. Why not talk about the facts?

Take it easy, Luke.

Shut the fuck up. You're not real, despite your desperate attempts to claim that.

Guess what? I'm not real, either. Neither is Paul. There's more than enough hints. I'm an incarnation of raw hate. "Columbine potential".. yup, my author knows how to play me, all right. I'd have thrown my own parents into the mix if I didn't already kill them. Sending a kilowatt (plus or minus) down my mother's spine with nothing but my bare hands.. unmatchable in your world. I damn near came on the spot.

Yes, that's right, we're fictional and inhuman. Which means we fit right in around here.

If you tards think you have some sort of community here, or you don't expect vicious, random comments when posting to a board as trolled as this one, if you don't  or if you're actually stupid enough to think you, any of you, are really worth a single iota of respect, I've got some bad fucking news for you.

We're leaving. The conversations have become mind-numbingly predictable, and less than a dozen human beings- but I'm not sure if that applies to those of you who openly defend child abuse- read this board regularly.

Adios, so long, catch us on the Internet in a couple years.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have some dead nuns to rape.

I think everyone knows that I am for real. I have been on here for almost a year. I encourage parents to private message me with any questions they may have about programs.

I'm real and might stick around.  I find this whole thing fascinating.

Sadly, I'm real too. I just recently, as 8 months ago graduated "wilderness therapy". I like to think of myself as slightly intelligent, and would be happy to answer the questions of parents looking to send their children to WT.

No bias here, just the facts (ma'am =) )

I have a couple on questions for you.

1) What program did you attend?
2) Did you go willingly?
3) And, if you didn't, were you escorted?
4) Did you get anything positive out of it?
5) If you didn't, did anyone in your group?

Thanks

Sorry, that was me.  I forgot to login.

One more question:

Do you like the outdoors?  I see you are from Boston and I can't say many of my Boston friends are "outdoorsy."

Laura Lee,

I just read a previous post of yours.

I know where you went.

I actually read your post a while back and when I called the specific Wilderness programs I asked specifically about the concerns you raised- concerning water, food and general safety.  I also talked to two graduates of the program, one that loved it one that hated it. But, they both feel like it was worthwhile and non-abusive.  The young woman I talked to hated the hiking but the young man loved it.

Thanks.

The program I am most comfortable is Second Nature, GA.  I mentioned that on another thread.
