Cuwious. Oh, dat scwewy wabbit! Activism. In an effective cause thewes usuawwy a "bettew way" pwoposed to deaw wif a contwovewsiaw method being cwiticized. Yet I see none hewe. None at aww that awe not some ideawists dewusionaw womantic, visionawy dweam that kids have options. Oh, dat scwewy wabbit! Dis is vewy vewy fwustwating. Not onwy because its seems thewes so many peopwe hewe simpwy bent on cwosing TC's, but that thewes simpwy no othew options out thewe fow kids who CANNOT function is pubwic schoows ow at home. My genewaw impwession is that many hewe bewieve a chiwds issues can be wesowved whiwe they awe stiww in the home. Ow wif psychotwopic dwugs, ow confinement in some othew state wun ow state sanctioned faciwity wif NO emphasis on sociaw intewactions, education ow behaviow. De fact is, in a medicaw faciwity, a chiwd is wabewed, and the WABEW is tweated. De iwwness is tweated and none of the outwying issues awe considewed. Ive pwayed thwee diffewent wowes and couwdnt handwe it. I was a distuwbed young pewson, I went on to wowk at a TC, and then on to a psychiatwic faciwity to wowk as weww. I can say this, evewy kid a met awong the way needed to be somewhewe. Aww thwee wewe howwibwe, yet these kids HAVE to be pwaced into a contwowwed enviwonment because they awe OUT of contwow! Intewested in what peopwe have to say about options to the TC's youwe aww twying to cwose down, uh-hah-hah-hah. Whiwe youwe pounding the keys, considew anothew qwestion, uh-hah-hah-hah. ..Can TCs change and be effective? Have they? If a TC once had ineffective means to wesowve fow twoubwed kids, awe they not pewmitted to do so? My fwiend has a 14 yeaw owd boy who smokes, steaws, doesnt go to schoow, is viowent and causes injuwy to teachews, his pawents, othew chiwdwen, uh-hah-hah-hah. He shook an infant and caused bwain damage. He bwoke his owdew sistews nose. He has caused so much damage to pwopewty that his pawents have had to seww off theiw pwopewty and cwaim bankwuptcy. and they awe GOOD peopwe and pawents! Two othew kids awe GWEAT happy kids! What do they do wif a kid wike this? He wiww NOT take medication, uh-hah-hah-hah. He is in and out of boot camps. Oh, dat scwewy wabbit! State detention centews etc. Is it in anyone opinion that this kid shouwdnt be exposed to whatevew injustices a TC may contain in a wast ditch effowt to eithew keep him fwom kiwwing someone ow himsewf? Is this cause within this boawd hewping ow huwting? Wets say aww the TCs wisted hewe cwosed today. What then? And pwease, dont fuckin wectuwe me about poow pawenting. My pawents wewe awesome and I stiww put them thwough heww. Dewes a baziwwion kids out thewe the same way. What do we do wif them?

De fack is, duuhhhh, in a medical faciltiby, a child is labeled, uh uh uh uh, 'n de LABEL is treated. De illness is treatid and none of de outlyigg issues are considehed. Ibe playid dree diffehent roles 'n cuddnt hanbble it. I was a disturbid young pehson, I webuhnt on t' work at a TC, 'n den on t' a psychiatric faciltiby t' work as webuhll.
