TEEN REHAB: AN INVESTIGATIVE REPORT

[Anonymous]

Go Nihilanthic!  I think you have hit a nerve with Karen.

If she doesn't choose a PURE program then Karen will help her to enroll in ALA.   :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Karen, nobody needs to take your advise on posting.  Remember, you don't know anything, you just "trust" and have "blind faith" in what you endorse.

Most of the rest of us are just not satisfied with that.

And your advice will land him in the same sorry situation your in. You are the biggest ass of all.
I think Chi has said she already has a school picked out and both she and her daughter are happy with it.
Nothing about her wanting to talk with Sue had to do with finding a program. It was about the disire to talk with someone whoes had the same experaince.

Nihilanthic,

My suggestion was for Chi to call and ask about what happenedd to Sue's daughter.You or I are not in a postion to answer Chi's question.I think it may be very enlightening for Chi to her what DID happened to the daughter. It was not healthy.


I wonder if Chi has considered a good attorney for Fraud and neglect.

Its illegeal to defraud people for money.

And what situation is that?

I'm aware that Chi3 isnt sending her daughter to any such place again, but I was a bit miffed at the baghead referring to ANOTHER group of programs, that being PURE.

I'm not sorry for what I said about PURE and Sue, Buzzkill. I'm not EVER going to be unless she starts giving out a list of programs and explaining how they operate and which of those programs give money to PURE.

Dont like it? Tough! Why are we all here, Karen?

BTW - I did read the whole post. It was more a comment to the ANONYMOUS person telling Chi3 to call Sue. I wondered if there was any inclination to get Chi3 to send her kid off to somewhere.

If there wasnt, and it was *JUST* about calling sue to find out about CSA, then fine, I apologize.

But, I still dont like Sue, OR PURE.

Nihilanthic,

I'm the bag head who accepts your apology. Thanks for offering it.

I suggested Chi call to dicuss the abuses at CSA.

I would NEVER EVER referr a child to a program.

I'm still recovering from our program experience.

I do think it may be a greta idea to consult an attorney. Fraud is criminal.

Just so you know, you can get a meaningless name and still be anonymous, but we can identify your posts by it. (look whose speaking here :razz:)

And yeah... Sue confuses me. I have a LOT of difficulty believing any mom would use her kids horror story to propogate more of the same shit that her own kid went through. I guess theres more to it than what we see... which is obviously nothing.

I dunno, i'm just defensive and a skeptic. Thanks for accepting my apology!

 Karen you said:


but it is clear that PURE does mean well



It might be clear to you Karen, but it is not clear to me. She herself sends kids to unregulated programs. Why is it ok for her to do so? What makes her uneducated decisions more precious than that of her adversaries? Does she know everyone who works with the kids in these programs? Has she done criminal background checks on their employees. Does she spend quality time at each institution to make sure that the proper education is being provided and that each employee is qualified to teach these at risk teens? How does she know whether or not kids are being abused in the programs she refers to? What guarantee can she give to parents, and more specifically to the teens, that makes her so much better in your eyes.

PURE and Sue Scheff have not proven they "mean well" by any means.  Sue Scheff continued to refer kids to Whitmore Academy after the owners, the Sudweeks, were being investigated for child abuse, and after Cheryl Sudweeks was charged with abusing 4 children. What's "well-meaning" about that? Opinion: it's all about money.

Guess even threads can come back from the dead  :silly:

Though, I would like to see Karens input on this a good 10-11 months later :grin:
