Since Mrs. D.Va is a PURE volunteer, and the tone of this thread, seems she's using strugging teens to market her program...and right under the nose of struggling teens! Why else would she want to exchange "private" e-mails with the poster?

Isn't that something.  Sue did not want to allow the pictures of abused kids to be posted on the struggling teens site but she will allow her supporters to post and privately recruit.

Maybe it is not about saving kids at all, maybe it is her underhanded way of doing business the only way she knows how.

I'm Mrs.D.VA

I am offended.  I volunteer my time exclusively to pass along our experiences for the benefit of others.  I receive nothing, ask for nothing and would not accept anything.  It is unfortunate that some of you cannot see this.

I will not defend myself to anyone for the actions we took to save our son's life and provide him a future.  Sending a child away to any residential school or program should be considered as a last resort and is what we did.

I do not recruit for anyone, any organization, program, school, company, etc.  I listen and talk with other parents in very scary situations with their children.  I don't advise or tell anyone what to do.  I relate my experiences with my son and what we did to help him.  Passing along information regarding hospitals, school districts and juvenile courts can help many other parents.

I read this board from time to time and I am amazed to read the cynicism in most posts.  It is very sad that most of you don't spend more time trying to help the industry rather than hurt it.  How about spending time and energy focused on fixing our public school districts, mental health departments, juvenile court services and our health insurance industry?  All of which do little at best to help struggling teens, especially the school system.

There is a need for private residential treatment facilities, schools and programs for some children, not all, but for some.  A safe environment with therapy for the kids to work on their behaviors, emotions and issues after all else has been tried and failed.

Debbie - I agree with you on doing something about the lack of effective help.  

What I see on the site link is that once the gentleman said he was speaking to an educational consultant, you asked him if it was okay to e-mail him privately (my interpretation.) Since you are a PURE parent volunteer, it looks to me (reading between the lines) that your intention was to direct them to PURE or, to share your experience with your child's RTC. A  big no no on this board, I would imagine.   There is no reason to e-mail  this poster privately from a public forum.  

You seem like an intelligent woman that has had many challenges with your family.  I have read your posts on struggling teens and see that you are genuine in what you share.  I personally found it sneaky that you chose to ask this man to e-mail him privately after he has already been in contact with an Ed Consultant.  

It's none of anyone's business if you get compensated or not from PURE.  Maybe it's the way in which you choose to "share" that has me wondering about your credibility.

My husband walked by as I was reading the posts this morning and said "It looks like people are more worried about following protocol than actually helping anyone".

Where was it ever said I was talking or pushing my son's TBS on anyone else?  Since there was not the "private" email exchange icon open, I simply gave my email address out.  Since the poster was talking of his teen's suicide attempts, I could relate.

I am not substituting myself as an educational consultant.  My goals are only to offer experiences with our son.  I feel I can offer support, a shoulder, an ear and explain our son's experience at his TBS without even mentioning the name of the facility.  Talk about different forms of therapy from private therapy to group sessions.

I suggest that we all focus more on helping and less on personal attacks.  My opinion.

Well Debbie if that is the case, why didn't you share that on Lon's site?  Why did you feel the need to take your experience private?

I can understand your need in tryng to justify what you have done given the fact that you know what you could be up against legally.

I talk and listen to parents and relate our son's trials and tribulations along with his progress and success.  Our story has been posted several times for nearly two years on Lon's site.

PURE parent volunteers are simply parents who have "been there done that" with struggling teens and just might be able to relate to another parent in a similar situation.

To me, being a parent of a struggling teen, with experience involved with psychiatric hospitals, IEP's and fighting for rights in school districts, having our son involved with juvenile court services and local mental health departments makes me somewhat knowledgeable in dealing with some of these issues with our kids.

Like I said, I listen and talk to other parents, nothing more, nothing less.

Yes, Lon knows that I know Sue.
No, Sue did not refer or send us to any particular program.
Yes, Sue knows of the schools we used for our son.
No, we found the schools on our own and didn't use an educational consultant.

Lighten Up,

Welcome to FORNITS Mrs. D.VA, where by the way, telling people to "lighten up" could be considered poor communication skills.

What's up with your post about a class-action lawsuit on the Struggling Teens forum?  Kind of meager details there.

You don't just know Sue, you endorse Sue.  There was and is no need for you to solicit for sharing privately your story, is there?  The parents you are soliciting privately could have heard about your experience right there on Lon's forum.  The only need you would have had to go private would have been to?

Personally, I don't get why any parent would turn to a support group for ADVICE on what to do for a suicidal child. Children come in all different shapes, colors and sizes.  One child's depression is not the same as another's. This parent should have consulted with a mental health professional and steered cleared of well-meaning parents who simply are NOT as qualified as they like to think they are.

You people are so aggravating and so hung-up on your "professionalism" that you end up driving "non-professionals" from your web site.  Anybody with an ounce of common sense realizes that you need to seek professional assistance for high-risk situations.  No one is advocating that a "non-professional" should substitute for "professional" help.

However, human nature is such that people want to bond with others that have been through similar situations.  "Professionals" are not the only source of compassion and empathy for people going through difficult times.  So, one more time, lighten-up!

And again, what's wrong with communicating directly with a person?  Life is not a forum.

By the way, where does it say I endorse Sue?  Because I know her?  Because she listened when I needed someone to talk to (called compassion, empathy, etc.)?  Because I've let her place my name on her web site so other parents can talk of similar situations and issues, and bond?

Talking and communicating one-on-one are ways for information on personal experiences to be exchanged without  hurting or jeopardizing the privacy of a child.  Parents talking to parents.

And in too many cases--not necessarily yours (but who'd know?)--Parents getting kickbacks for sucking parents into a particular program.

Yeah, people want to talk to people who've been through similar stuff.

They *don't* want to be taken advantage of by people who have "been there"----but who don't disclose that they're getting kickbacks for recruiting into a particular program or programs.

And whether *you* are personally on the level or not, there has been an epidemic of these programs giving kickbacks to their program parents to get them to recruit for the program.

Nobody who meets you over the internet *should* trust you---you're just some random person on the internet.  Nobody you know should trust you if you're recommending for a program your kid is in, or for a program your kid has been in in the past, without making darned sure you aren't being paid to shill for the program.

You, personally, may not be out shilling for a program and may be driven purely by the milk of human kindness.

But too many just like you are driven by ulterior motives.

Other parents have every reason to be extremely skeptical of you, or me, or *anybody* they meet on the internet.

Hell, who trusts a friend who sells Amway?

It says on the PURE site you are a PURE volunteer.  If that is not an endorsement, what is it?  People don't usually go around putting their names and email addresses on sites that they don't endorse.

Caution, you are about to enter a no B.S. zone.

Some parents have a compulsive need to control the thoughts and actions of their children and because adolescence is by nature's law a "rite of passage" most teens NEED and WANT to navigate without Mom or Dad butting in 24/7, control-hungry parents get out the checkbook and write their program-of-choice a check to satisfy their need to control their kid's attitude and behavior.

The Programs know this, as does the child.  The only ones who don't get it, are the parents.

So who is the stupid one?

Hello?  Anybody who would send their child off to a private prison on the advice of some stranger they met on the internet is either incredibly gullible, or incredibly evil, or is a complete and total nutcase who needs to up their dose.

You wouldn't, personally, date some random joe you'd just met over the internet---why in the bloody hell would you set your child up on a year (or more) long blind date based on the "advice" of some random joe you just met over the internet.

What about the parents that pay an education consultant who has never experienced what it's like to be on the "inside?"  I'd take the word of a parent who's been involved over an ed con that is charging high fees for this.  The schools also pay the ed con's so they do tend to refer to the ones that pay the higher commission.  Yes, BUYER BEWARE.

No, most programs DO NOT pay ed cons. As for your claim that parents are somehow better at this game because they have been "involved" with a program, that is pure poppycock.  These parents are highly biased and more likely to refer to a program that pays a referral fee then one that does not.  Either way (Ed Con or Professional Parent) there ought to be laws protecting consumers like they have for used cars.

TO THE PARENTS
 
AS LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ?ACADEMIA VIDA ABUNDANTE DEL LAGO CHAPALA S. DE RL.? WE FEEL IT IS OUR MORAL DUTY TO INFORM YOU THE FOLLOWING.
 
THE CORPORATION CALLED ?ACADEMIA VIDA ABUNDANTE DEL LAGO CHAPALA?  (?ABUNDANT LIFE ACADEMY AT LAKE CHAPALA?) WAS CONSTITUTED WITH A HUNDRED PER CENT MEXICAN CAPITAL, ON APRIL 30th OF 2003, UNDER PUBLIC DOCUMENT NO. 8,286, VOLUME 184, IN HERMOSILLO, SONORA, BEFORE NOTARY NO. 46, ATTORNEY ROMELIA RUIZ CAZARES AND IT WAS REGISTERED IN THE PUBLIC RECORD OFFICE OF CHAPALA, JALISCO, ON MAY, 7th, 2003, WITH THE NUMBER 173 OF THE SECOND TOME OF THE FIRST BOOK OF THE RECORDS COMMERCE, AND AT THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE, WITH THE FEDERAL REGISTRATION (RFC) AVA030430TE9, BEING PARTNERS, THE ATTORNEY PATRICIA BETANCOURT RAMIREZ AS THE SOLE ADMINISTRATOR, MRS. IRELENA MONGE BETANCOURT AS THE AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE CORPORATION AND MR. JOSUE ROMAN APARICIO GOMEZ AS GENERAL MANAGER.
 
THE IDEA OF HAVING OUR ?ACADEMIA? IN THE COMMUNITY OF AJIJIC, JALISCO, AS WELL AS RENTING THE REAL STATE AND THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ITS OPERATION WERE NEGOTIATED IN THE MONTH OF MAY. SUBSEQUENTLY, IT WAS AGREED WITH MR. CRAIG ROGERS, VERBALLY, TO RECEIVE THE YOUNGSTERS THAT HE WOULD SEND FROM THE ABUNDANT LIFE ACADEMY UTAH.  THE CHARGE WAS TO BE $2,000.00 U.S. DOLLARS PER STUDENT (MONTHLY) WHO WOULD GET ROOM AND BOARD IN THE HOUSE AT 94-?A? CONSTITUTION STREET IN AJIJIC.   FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, MR. ROGERS DIDN?T PAY THE AGREED AMOUNT OF TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS, THE AGREED UPON AMOUNT. INSTEAD HE PAID ONLY $500.00 U.S. DOLLARS PER STUDENT. THE CONTRACT WAS NEVER FORMALLY LEGALIZED WITH THE UTAH ABUNDANT LIFE ACADEMY. WE WAITED FOR HIM TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION, BUT HE DID NOT RESPOND.
 
FOR THAT REASON AND REQUIRING MORE PERSONNEL TO PROVIDE BETTER CARE FOR THE YOUNGSTERS, MR. CRAIG ROGERS WAS ASKED TO PROVIDE THE INFORMATION AS TO THE INCOME IN UTAH AS WELL AS THE CONTRACTS THAT HE MADE WITH THE PARENTS.  HE DIDN?T PAY ATTENTION TO OUR REQUEST AND THE ?ACADEMIA VIDA ABUNDANTE DEL LAGO CHAPALA? CONTINUED TO PROVIDE THE SERVICE TO THE YOUNGSTERS. VARIOUS CONSULTANTS VISITED THE INSTITUTION IN JUNE AND JULY AND WILL CONFIRM THE EXCELLENCE OF OUR SERVICE.
 
THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ASSOCIATION OF VIDA ABUNDANTE DEL LAGO CHAPALA WERE NOT SATISFIED WITH THE STAFF THAT MR. CRAIG ROGERS HIRED FOR THE GUIDANCE OF THE YOUNGSTERS, THEY WERE PEOPLE WITHOUT EXPERIENCE IN THIS TYPE OF PROGRAM, SPECIALLY MR. JOHN NIELSEN WHO HAS A BAD RECORD IN HIS PREVIOUS JOBS. THIS IS DOCUMENTED IN THE ARCHIVES OF A WORLD KNOW ASOCIATION CALLED ?YOUTH WITH A MISION? A.R. IN CHAPALA, JALISCO  (YWAM, JALISCO) WITH A WEB SITE http://www.ywamguadalajara.com (http://www.ywamguadalajara.com).
 
FOR THESE REASONS, WE INFORMED MR. CRAIG ROGERS AS TO THE SITUATION ABOVE MENTIONED WAS DAMAGING THE IMAGE OF THE SCHOOL AS WELL AS THE SUBSTANCE HE WAS PUTTING AT RISK THE EDUCATION OF THE YOUNGSTERS.  MR. ROGERS DIDN?T RESPOND TO THIS AND INSTEAD HE FOCUSSED IN FINDING AN INVESTOR FOR ?HIS? BUSINESS.  HE NEVER LET US KNOW ANY OF THIS. HE ASKED FOR THE BOOKS OF OUR CORPORATION, WHICH WAS DENIED BECAUSE WE HAD NO LEGAL OBLIGATION TO DO THIS. THEREFORE MR. ROGERS DECIDE TO GO TO THE ACCOUNTANT?S OFFICE AND WITH THREATS TRIED TO GET THEM (THERE ARE WITNESSES OF THIS FACTS). BEING ANNOYED BY NOT GETTING THE RECORDS HE ORDERED MR. JOSUE ROMAN APARICIO TO GO FROM THE PROPERTY RENTED BY OUR CORPORATION SLANDERED AND THREATED HIM.
 
WHEN THE SITUATION GOT TO THIS POINT WE DECIDED FOR THE BENEFIT OF YOUR CHILDREN, TO PUT OUR CORPORATION ON SALE TO MR. ROGERS BUT HE COULDN?T PAY. THAT IS WHY THE MEMBERS OF ?ACADEMIA VIDA ABUNDANTE DEL LAGO CHAPALA? HAVE TO LEAVE THE PROPERTY WE HAD RENTED AND PROCEED LEGAL ACTION BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN TAKEN IN AN ILLEGAL MANNER.
 
WE WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THERE IS NOT AND THERE WAS NEVER WAS DURING THE FIVE AND A HALF MONTHS OF OPERATION ANY CONTRACT WITH MR. CRAIG ROGERS TO PROMOTE OUR SERVICES THROUGH THE INTERNET, A WEB PAGE ?ABUNDANT LIFE ACEDEMY? WHERE HE APPOINTS HIMSELF AS THE DIRECTOR OF OUR SCHOOL IN MEXICO AND THE ACADEMY OF ABUNDANT LIFE OF UTAH. BY THE SAME TOKEN, IT NEVER EXISTED ANY CONTRACT WITH HIM FOR HIS SERVICES. EVERYTHING WAS DONE BY COMMON AGREEMENT, HOPING THAT HE WOULD CLEAR OUT THE FINANCING STATEMENTS OF HIS BUSSINES IN THE UNITED STATES.
 
SOME OF THE PARENTS, AS WELL AS SOME AMERICAN RESIDENTS THAT ARE NEIGHBORS OF THE ?ACADEMIA VIDA ABUNDANTE DEL LAGO CHAPALA? HAVE SPOKEN TO MR. JOSUE APARICIO TO SHOW THEIR SUPPORT AND ALSO TO EXPRESS THEIR DISATISFACTION WITH MR. JOHN NIELSEN?S ATTITUDE AND THE LACK OF MORALITY AND ETHICS FROM MR. CRAIG ROGERS.  THEY HAVE ALSO ASKED HIM TO SUPPORT US IN ANY SITUATION THAT WILL CARRY ON IN THE FUTURE.

Can you imagine being the child of a parent who posts ad nauseum about their institutionalized kid's personal (and by the way, very private) life on a forum like ST?

These parents have WAAAAAY too much time on their hands if they can sit around posting on discussion forums all day long about the trials and tribulations of their "programized" kids.

Too bad the kids can't do the same ... but you know these kids are isolated from the real world.  Not allowed internet access while in an emotional growth boarding school.  What a crock!

Don't read ST myself, but does this mother still post on there about her son who has been out of the program after all this time? Does she?

She's still posting, yes.  Recently too - within a couple of weeks.  She argues with Andrea from PFRR and Barbe from TAUSA.

Sound like this DVa must have the Sue Scheff syndome...she must be on there recruiting kids for MONEY to get them into programs. What a sorry lot. Bad enough they did it to their own kids. What a terrible way to make some ole money.

Mrs. D.VA formerly of VA now resides in Southeast Florida.

IIRC, PURE is located in Weston, Florida.

Maybe she should change her ST nic to Mrs. D.SEF?
