unfortunately its a sad majority of parents who do not want to deal with their kids. does that make them a bad parent? probably not, however many parents dont consider other options before "sending their kid away" to some "facility" that looks good on paper and on the internet. like hanzomom said, i do feel bad for those parents who are manipulated and dont intend to abuse their kid... but those are the same parents who LEAVE their child IN the abuse because its "the program" and their kid is being "manipulative". It is the child i feel sorry for at that point especially when theres legitimate accusations of abuse by the facilities.
guest: you say flat not true.... congratulations, you've just joined the bunch of parents who actually CARE about their children. Unfortunately, you've also joined the group of parents who buy into a program when they feel they have no options... hope you have money for a psychologist and psychiatrist cuz ur gonna need those happy meds. I also never said that ALL parents are that way... just a sad majority... so before you start spouting off on me, get your facts straight. You're also admitting your a programmee... therefore the program can do no wrong... congratulations child abuser.
