Hmmm. I will let you think about that one before I hold you to it. I would rather avoid another 6 pages of flame.

No, that's what YOU are SAYING I said.
Use the quote button or don't bother characterizing what I say because you don't exactly have a good record with accuracy - you lie about everything.
I already know that some kids come from other countries to TBS's - I had one on my caseload at HLA. However, he wasn't referred by any professional. His folks hit the website and sent him, as is the case with most kids at TBS - they've never been diagnosed and referred by a therapist. 65% are referred by EdCons according to statistics from NATSAP.
The only TBS's (really teen lockups, not schools - not even pretend schools like ASR) that I have been able to locate outside the US are owned and operated by US corporations.
So, again, CITE YOUR SOURCE for your claims that 98.5% of professionals support and refer to programs. You've already conceeded the point and abandoned that statement, but you never said why you won't cite your source that led you to to post such utter nonsense in the first place.
SHOW YOUR WORK or admit you lied.
And it hasn't been 6 pages of "flaming." It's been six DAYS of you avoiding accountability for what you said. You're supposed to be an adult, but you act like a recalcitrant child. That's not a flame - it is evidenced by your BEHAVIOR.
CITE THAT SOURCE or admit you made it up and I'll stop asking. The only way you'll ever get a modicum of respect or credibility is to admit you lied, make it right and THEN move on. What's funny is that if this were your kid lying to face over and over after she was caught red-handed you'd have her locked up in a program in a heartbeat. Why can't you hold yourself to the standards to which you hold a pubescent girl? Pretty sad, my man, pretty sad.
