I was recently introduced to Lee Ann Fielding and must say they offer a dynamic Self Growth Journey for teens that are losing their path in life. Lee Ann is part of a caring and loving family that brings Skyline into a class of their own. Although they are fairly new, the staff and family are very experienced with Wilderness and Behaviorial Programs. I highly recommend Skyline Journey to many families daily and feel that it is a place I would place my own child. Skyline Journey is part of The PURE Foundation that helps families find healthy and safe programs.
May you all have a very Blessed and Safe Holiday Season!

You folks are being taken for a ride. It's heartbraking.
Instead of giving money to fund colleges to promote learning, why don't they pass a Constitutional Amendment prohibiting anybody from learning anything? If it works as good as the Prohibition one did, why, in five years we would have the smartest race of people on earth.

Anyone know if this is correct info or of any other programs that PURE refers to?
What kind of humanism expresses its reluctance to sacrifice military casualties by devastating the civilian economy of its adversary for decades to come?

Excerpt from the best article written on Ian's death. How in hell did it happen that a child of his stature and condition was refered to a wilderness program by an Ed Con and approved for participation by an MD? We hear SO much about responsibility and accountability from program supporters, shouldn't the adults be held to the same standard?
http://www.sltrib.com/2003/Jul/07132003/utah/utah.asp On July 5, Ian boarded a plane bound for Utah and the Skyline Journey wilderness therapy program, recommended to Judith by an educational consulting firm in Austin.
On his enrollment application, Judith listed Ian's troubles at school, his difficulty making friends and his increasingly threatening behavior. She had tried medication, special education, church programs, counseling and karate lessons to turn him around.
Now, she looked to Skyline Journey to help Ian develop more "harmonious" relationships, assume responsibility for his actions, gain respect for authority and recognize his self-worth.
She listed prescription drugs he took: Depakote and Topamax for bipolar disorder and Concerta for ADHD.
On Wednesday, the Food and Drug Administration issued a warning about the risks of hyperthermia associated with Topamax.
In response to a question about physical limitations, Judith wrote that Ian was overweight -- at 5 feet, 4 1/2 inches tall, he weighed 200 pounds -- and, with a low heat tolerance, was "easily overheated."
His heat intolerance was well known.
Classmate Taylor Sessions remembers Ian wandering the halls all sweaty, his hair drenched. One summer, Ian wore a gizmo-type fan around his neck to keep himself cool.
"He didn't want to be out in the heat at all," said neighbor Elena Michaelson. "He was pretty vocal about it."
Said Susan: "He was not an outdoorsy person. He was a couch potato."

Ginger, the shit is deeper than I thought. I am curious though, as to PURE's followers, are they still blind to the truth about PURE?
I wish I could afford an attorney. If I could, I would take PURE and Bozak both to court on fraud charges.
The sad thing is that PURE and Bozak have now pulled ISAC into the debacle.

Carey, I don't know. I'm tired of asking politely. These are friends of mine we're talking about, the ISAAC ppl. I tend to think, as I said, they're being extremely gullible at the moment. I don't think any of these folks would intentionally support and work for the organizations that are doing to kids now what Straight did to us when we were kids. I think they're being manipulated. I hope I'm right about that and I hope they come to their senses soon.

This is really starting to blow my mind. I posted this info out here, on Marti's forum and at Don's Straight_Inc_Alumni on yahoo. It seems to have shut down all discourse on Don's list and nothing came back from Marti's, either.
What gives you guys? Have you suddenly realized that you got took, all caught up in a game of us against them? If that's all it is, haven't we all been there in some context at some point in our lives? All's forgiven, come home. Take your parents out to a nice Sunday Brunch and see if they look any different to you this morning.
But I'm just dying to know what you guys all think about all this. Did you know Skyline Journey was part of the PURE network? Did you know the history of that organization? I didn't. It was right in front of me, but the names are almost all at least vaguely familiar at this point. It took this long and Deborah explicitly pointing it out before I caught on.
What are you guys thinking? If anyone's telling ya'll to say nothing for fear of some horrible consequence, tell them to pound sand. RAMPANT talking out in group is the only solvent I know of to undo the sticky glue that gives these groups cohesion.
