Thank you so much for getting your son out of there... I'll sleep better tonight knowing that another child was rescued. "




I do not know your child but I hope that he doesn't go back to being the kind of child that he was before, because you believed all these idiots. These people are obviously former students. IF you go back and look at the conversations of the people who are trying to "save kids" they are very vulger and negative people. I bet your son was very motivated at getting drugs and alcohol. In fact he ran away to get it. These people are not that far from being like your son. Thanks for helping me feel better about where my son is. "


Parents of former students or former students that are now grown adults with teenagers of our own who should know quite well the difference between hurt and help.

I've never been in a Program.

But I paid attention in my college psych. classes when they described the abuses that "used to" happen in mental institutions.  And the programs sound a lot like some of the bad old mental institutions.

And having a mental illness (stable on meds, thanks), and the parent of a kid with a mental illness, and having other family members with the same, I have a vested interest in seeing residential care is *quality* care and is not abusive or otherwise harmful.

Vulgar?  Sure, when I get pissed off.  So?  Most people just don't find anything wrong with that.  That *you* find it such a big thing to condemn says more about you than about us.

Alcohol?  Rarely.  Most months I don't have any alcohol, and when I do it's maybe one or two drinks in a month.  The exception would be when I have a cold, in which case I'll have a single drink before bed because it at least seems to shorten how long I have the cold.  I catch a cold maybe three or four times a year.  Always been kinda susceptible to the various bugs that go around.

Drugs?  Only my prescribed psychiatric meds.  Never tried marijuana.  Don't want to.  Did acid twice in college out of curiosity.  The second time was because the first stuff was exceptionally weak.  I wanted to know what a hallucination looked like.  It was a pretty stupid thing to do, but college students occasionally do stupid things.  Not interested in doing it again.

Little Miss Perfect?  No.  Pretty much your average suburban housewife, except I'm also a published author and the first book did rather well.

Other than that, I mostly spend my spare time down at the dojo assisting with the kids classes or taking classes myself.

I don't think the dad who just pulled his son out of a Program would be exactly broken-hearted if his kid more or less turned out like me.

Just a guess.

I think he probably might think his grown son was a little strange and a little *too* uptight if no swear words whatsoever ever passed his lips, though.

But if never swearing is your big claim to being a good person, well, whatever flips your lid.

I'd be horrified if any of my children turned out to be anything like what I have seen here of you!  Thankfully, my kids are much more mature and respectful!

I agree. All these children are completely insane. Why won't they accept the fact they were terrible teens, and their parents had no choice to send them away for their own welfare. I tell you, back in my day we would have simply tied you up to the chicken wire and let the crows have a time with you! Not to mention the switch, boy, my pah used to make me cut it down myself!

Kids these days expect everything and don't want to do any work. In my opinion, we should reinstate a military draft, and shapen this generation right up. These facilities are a start, however they need to be greatly expanded. We should replace public schools with teen behavior modification programs at the very least.

Have you been to a city lately? The kids with their hip hop afro music, outrageous clothes and crazy ideas are turning our country into a third world country. I can barely go into walmart these days without being harrased by some punk kid.

Kids these days...

Well, that makes you a case in point as a control-freak Program Parent who is willing to send basically normal kids to be brainwashed just because they don't live up to *your* idea of perfection.

You not only haven't earned my respect, you've earned my lack of respect by supporting, in my opinion, wilfull child neglect.

I show plenty of respect to the other martial artists, students and instructors, at the dojo.

I show plenty of respect to the parents.

I show plenty of respect to the users on the forum I moderate.

I show plenty of respect to my spouse, my neighbors, my parents, my relatives, and even my dog.

But I *don't* respect people who, in my opinion, hurt children or defend those who hurt children.  I do not believe you deserve my respect.

I also do not believe you even know the meaning of the word "maturity."  Real maturity means accepting that there are not only limits to what you can control, there are limits to what you should control, and limits to what you should even attempt to control.

Real maturity means when you deal with other people's lives, you know when to pull back and respect their need to make their own choices and their own mistakes and to choose for themselves who and what they are going to be.

You don't display any of that.

On the contrary, you (if you are the same anon who accused everyone who advocates against the program of being a drunk or a druggie, or patted yourself on the back so enthusiastically for your allegedly lily-white mouth) display a mind caught up in the cult myth that everybody who is not part of your little cult and who is actively critical of the cult must have certain specific horrible attributes.  Why did you assume that?  Why, because it's an article of faith in your cult, that's why.

Of course you'd be horrified if your child turned out like me.  You'd be horrified at *any* child who not only didn't follow you into the cult but also made a practice of criticizing your cult.

Which kindof proves the point the rest of us were trying to make.

Thank you so much for your kind assistance.

I'll be extremely broken-hearted if my daughter turns out anything like you!  I will be horrified if she ever goes on to a Survivor-type forum and ridicules people's pain just to serve her own need to feel as though some selfish move she made was justified.
