A Question for Martha
« on: December 17, 2003, 08:42:00 AM »
Martha,

You had a son at Dundee.  He was one of the first boys enrolled there.  You told me you made trips down there a couple of times while he was there.  You told me that you were very close to both Amberly and Joe.  You told me that you had dinner with them on occassion.  You told me that you and Amberly became very close over the course of her stay at Dundee. You left your son at Dundee for the length of the one year contract.

When the doctor in my case testified and the newspaper quoted a statment he made about Geoff and how he felt like the movies he watched were a threat to him, the ones on the prisoners of war, you called me to tell me that was ridiculas.  You stated that they were docmentaries like those seen on the history channel.  You told me there was no abuse.  I told you that given the situation and the fact that the boys were in a place where they felt isolated and in a place where others had total control over them, strangers, if they say they felt like it was a threat, who were YOU to deny them their feelings.  If that is how they felt, then that is how they felt.  

My question to you is:  Why did you leave your child at Dundee as long as you did given the visits you made there and given the close contact you had with Amberly?

Isn't there a Mental Hygiene statute where you live?  Perhaps your sons can file a Petition to have you examined.

What are you, a dipstick? What kind of a mother would Carey be if she left her children in a program she feared was harmful to the safety and well-being of her children?

Sounds to me like you, Anon, are the one in need of mental counseling.

My thinking is pretty sound on the subject Carey.  Please check the bank's health benefits package and see if there is Mental Health  $$ available to you.  Or just write a check and approve your own overdraft (whoops, sorry, I must have let the cat out of the bag there).

Anon, you're mistaken. That wasn't Carey, it was somebody else. And your post was unresponsive to the question. Just hang it up, OK? Nobody's buying that anymore around here. It's played out.

Carey, I don't know who Martha is, if she's one of the Anons or, if she is, why she wants to keep her name out of it. But I think you stand a better chance of getting an answer to your question if you don't try to force her out. And I'd like an answer to the question. Really. Seriously. Why? And how's her son doing now? Is he OK? Is he in another program? Is he a legal adult now? Do they talk?

A government resting on the minority is an aristocracy, not a Republic, and could not be safe with a numerical and physical force against it, without a standing army, an enslaved press and a disarmed populace.

Ir wasn't responsive.  Are you monlighting as a lawyer.  By the way, check you other threads, it just started all over again.

Do you have an opinion on why Martha left her kid at Dundee for an entire year?

Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you recognize a mistake when you make it again.

How about denial.  It's pretty obvious to me.

Ginger I don't know the answer to the question.  I know what I think.  I think Martha thought Dundee was ok.  I think she thought they needed to improve in a lot of areas, but on the whole I think she thought it was ok.  She talked more about the cost of things in relationship to the expense of things.  That was her beef with the program.  

I know Martha knows I have posted this thread, as Sue is in contact with both Amberly and Martha.  Why Martha is not willing to answer, I don't know.  She could have a very logical explanation.
