You shouldn't tell other people how they should or shouldn't view something. It's rude and pointless.
Lets place that on the shingle as everyone enters, I will conform if others do.
I don't do it and I'm asking YOU not to. Other people might do it and I don't like it either. I'm asking YOU not to do it. K?
The problem is that these kids have NO DUE PROCESS. If they are incarcerated in one of these places, they have no recourse. If they complain about how they're being treated, it gets worse and they understand very quickly that any dissent or questioning of the program or it's policies will be severely dealt with. Hell, even if parents get a little inquisitive and start poking their noses around too much THEY are dealt with pretty severely...i.e. those precious, few moments of their weekly monitored phone calls with their kids could be cut off. God forbid you have divorced parents and one puts a kid in a program against the others wishes. The non-custodial parent is denied virtually ALL access to the child. The kids have no access to phone or outside sources to even report anything in the first place. And, very often, the 'dx' techniques the programs use leave A LOT to be desired. Rubber stamping any kid just to get them in the door and get those $$$$. Unqualified staff. Do I really need to go on more?
I am just as frustrated as you are. Some solutions are regulation, giving children access to a hot line, providing the kids with unmonitored phone calls to their parents.
Having a third party sign off on all placements prior to a program/school accepting them.
If you're just as frustrated, why would you be arguing (as you have many, many times here) FOR censoring and monitoring calls between parent and child? Why are you constantly here advocating FOR programs even when we've proven over and over that a particular one DOES employ unqualified staff? You usually disregard it as "irrelevant" to the circumstances.
Let's just start off with some basic human rights, howz that? Like a proper diagnosis from qualified staff, instead of 'diagnosing' a kid with some arbitrary 'behavioral disorder'. How about access to a phone to be able to speak to parents or LEO or the Dept. of Children and Families....UNCENSORED AND UNMONITORED? How about the right to take a dump without some 'higher phaser' watching you?
Way ahead of you, keep going, we agree so far.

You are picking the extreme cases also. Parents just don’t send their kids away based on a list they read about on the web. The parents are reading it because they already have a problem with their child who is at-risk. Parents don’t send their kids away for help at $6,000 a month for talking back to them or getting a tattoo (again, I am sure there are exceptions). Having a third party sign off will help prevent these types of placements from happening.
No, I'm pointing out that there is a problem with the diagnostic methods used in most programs. And yes, many many parents send their kids off for talking back or getting a tattoo. I've been IN programs with kids who have NO BUSINESS being in there, but the parents freaked out at finding a joint and shipped them off. Happens every day.
Just talk to a few of the kids, they were not heading for Harvard on a full scholarship prior to being placed, they know they were screwing up and many had plenty of warning and opportunities to get back on track.
Well, not all of us base our value as a person on whether or not we graduated from an ivy league school. But that does seem to be very important to a lot of program parents. The kids aren't growing up how the parents would like them to and instead of respecting that the child is an individual, with thoughts and values of their own.....they ship them off for "re-education".
No it is not imperative to me because I am not an investor. The investors drive the industries profit stategy. If profits do not increase every year then the major investors will pull their money. Hospitals are the same way, like any industry. If the fund that your 401k is in doesn’t do well they will move the money out and into something more profitable. If too much money is pulled out then the industry could/would collapse.
I could only hope.
So you see it is important that the industry keep growing.
No, I don't see. Not at all.
You are a truly disgusting human being.
You are saying that to yourself, you just don’t realize it. But so it goes, I guess. Someday you may understand that you are fighting the wrong people.
Bwahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!! Spoken like the true washed soul that you are.
