Author Topic: Input for wikipedia page for teen escort companies needed. (Read 4939 times)

Covergaard · « **on:** November 04, 2006, 06:05:23 PM »

I have just created a webpage on wikipedia about teen escort companies, because we all needs to know about this shortcoming in the US child protection laws.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teen_escort_company

I could need some links to the law which allows such companies to exist and also in some kind of license is need to operate in this kind of business.

Please do not try to tamper with the text if you are an employee or owns a business or have been an unfortunately client of such a company. The rules of Wikipedia states that any article has to be NPOV (Which can be rather hard, if you are describing a program or a consentration camp.) but so are the rules.

This article needs fleshing out with someone with better English skills.

Good start, but readers may think it?s some kind of taxi service to take kids to traditional ?boarding schools?. Should read that they provide service to programs in the Troubled Teen Industry (link to Fornits, ISAC), as are Ed Cons?? and hired to take kids to TBSs (no article exists), RTCs (no article exists), EGSs (no article exists) and Wilderness programs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilderness_therapy ), which should be edited to include links to the media articles on deaths. That article really understates the deaths.
Perhaps a link to the Ed Con article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Educational_consultant ), which should be edited.
Could add a link to the news article on Rick Strawn of Ga.

I knew that they can use handcuff.

What kind of other tools can they use within the law?

Eletric batons?
Peper spray?

And regarding restraints. Are they only limited to handcuffs?

mouth gags, etc? electric things aren't so much fun unless they twist or vibrate, but peper spray might be?

big question is if the escort service gives you choice of hair color, gender, or any specialties.

You dont need tools to handle teenagers when you are a full grown man and you have a partner to help. Nothing more than brute force and handcuffs are necessary. It's the girls you got to watch out for, they might cry rape.

But isn't that what you ultimately intend, child abuser?

If we don't display information about the existense of such companies, then we can't get our politicians to outlaw them.

As a Dane, I was shocked to learn that such a cruel thing is allowed in your country.

Denmark is not perfect by any means, but if someone outside Denmark helps us out by pointing out our errors, we would be glad to help you out.

And my hope is that I one day can enter a statement, that would tell the readers that such firms EXISTED - not EXIST.

How did you stumble across the existence of this industry?
is much known of it in europe? There certainly is not anything known here.

I am half Dane and half Finn. During my childhood I had problems being fitted in like everyone that comes to Denmark with a different background. We are a small culture and are used to be supressed by either those crazy people from Sweden or nazis from Germany. That makes us suspicious. I can now say us, because I have found my place.

I have never used drug and alcohol is no problem because it is legal for Danes to buy it legally once they are 16.

Then one day a Danish television broadcasted "Brat Camp". I know that I could have ended up in such a place if it were legal in Denmark. So I investigated and found out that the industri acts like our institutions did some 30 years ago. Yes we had abuse then, beating was a cheaper way of keeping the poor childs warm during winter than a central heating system.

But I also recognized that the zero-tolerance against drug had opened a window of posible abuse. If we adopt your way of doing thing, Danish children would be victim of abuse.

Just a few years ago it was shameful to consult a Ed con - so shameful in deed that people changed their names when they were diagnosed out of respect of their family. Now everyone seems to need treatment and we are not so good to question the qualifycations of the doctors, if they are doctors at all.

For once I would work for that no Dane can undergo treatment without courtorder or voleentary commitment. At no point, the decision about treatment should be done by the parents alone. Teen escort must not at any point be legal in Denmark. If a court decided that a child need treatment, the court must order athorities to remove the child from home. Only then we can ensure that unnecessary force against a child can be prevented.

So in order to stop us from adopting your way, I use every chance to publish knowledge about abuse. I hope that answers your question.

BTW. Nabi's article has been translated into Danish and the largest newspaper in Denmark published the story.

It's not my country.
There are moves in parliament to enact a law that makes sending a child abroad to be treated in this fashion punishable in the same way as if it happened in the UK.

I'm glad the Dane stepped up too. Thank you.

Readers should also know that there are some legitamate Intervention Companies who do not use peper spary and only use cuffs when needed. There are allot of BS companies, but there are some that really care about the kids. You should show both sides not just one.

A lot of child abusers believe they are helping the kids.
