Okay lets try this again!
Just because programs have structure, and don't allow kids to do whatever they want, whenever they want, and have free run of the place does not make them abusive.
Your poster way back was crying about how they didn't have the choice of eating whenever, and whatever they wanted. Not being able to lay in bed all day?
?? I thought that was so stupid. You can't run programs, and schools that have sometimes have hundreds of kids in them in an orderly fashion without structure. It just doesn't work that way. A lot of these kids have problems, you can't have some laying in bed all day, some in school, some outside, some in the kitchen. Then you have a lack of supervision. Which then turns into kids maybe killing themselves, by hanging, or whatever. More chance of kids abusing other kids.
Then who becomes responsible? THE SCHOOLS!!!! The schools get sued, and receive a ton of bad press. What are you thinking, and where are you coming from Niles? This is why it is helpful Niles to have the understanding of what goes on in a program. That's why the majority of your statements are just plain retarded! You have zero experiences in regards to programs.
