Hello everyone,
I found this forum last year at a time when I was distrought and when I was looking for information regarding facilities for teens. I recently made my way back to this forum while doing a Google search, again looking for information regarding facilities.
I was very disappointed with what I found this time. I just don't remember the hostility when I visited before.
Maybe I have misunderstood the reason this forum even exists. I thought it was to help kids, their parents, their rescuers, and anyone else looking for help.
Maybe I was wrong. Maybe it's a place for people to vent and bash others, with no regard to the fact that if someone here is sued for libel and/or slander the forum could shut down. Then where are people going to go to talk about their problems and to share information?
Think about this. What if ISAC is forced to shut down. What if this forum is forced to shut down. What if others follow close behind? Who will be left to fight for these kids?
Are we going to fall into a war of our own? I think there is enough going on to keep us all busy. Could you just imagine what would happen if all this negative energy were put into something positive? It's worth thinking about, no?
