June of 06, I met a young man named Dan, who went to Swift River, at the International Cultic Studies Conference in Denver. He sat in on the session dealing with the troubled teen industry, and the cultic aspects of it. He was interested in what I had to say, as a parent who once sent my son to a similar place. He wondered how it is the parents justify it to themselves - how are they talked into it - Basically, what makes them so gullible and blind and heartless. I hope I was able to help him understand how it happens - I hope I was able to help him reach some level of forgiveness for his dad. I'd rather not meet your son there in the years to come, and try to help him understand why you were such a fool.
