BARBARA WALTERS' DAUGHTER BUSTED FOR DUI (TMZ.com) (http://http://www.tmz.com/2013/05/20/barbara-walters-daugther-former-teen-terror-popped-for-dui/)
From the article:
It's an especially sad story considering Jacqueline made a public vow to get her life on track, following some turbulent teenage years filled with clubbing and substance use.
In fact, Jackie ran a wilderness program for troubled girls in northern Maine for years ... but it appears to have closed in 2008.
From what we have learned her program was kind of soft - a misguided attempt so save the world for every girl based on the idea that just because it worked for her, then it would work for others too.

Her eagerness to share her success is a very typical reaction for most people who had a great experience. Having the means coupled with the desire, experience and ambition to help other women like herself led Jacqueline to create a program which would lead to making a positive impact on other childrens lives. Hopefully she gets through this rough patch in her life as quickly as possible.

And plenty of Scientologists, Moonies, and the list goes on. Whether somebody believes they were helped does speak to whether or not they were objectively helped or not. Her DUI isn't exactly encouraging in this respect.

Indeed. Perhaps she can fix her own problems before attempting to "fix" other peoples' kids.

This should never deter anyone from sharing what has been successful for them. If people emerge from a program feeling better and living a healthier life then they should spread the word, the same as people who were harmed by a program should let others know. If a person finds benefit from yoga, for example, they may feel inspired to open a yoga place and help others as they were helped even if it is just her belief.

Psy, She did! She started a program called New Horizons, up in Maine, and helped many other kids like herself. The DUI occurred just recently at age 44. I donty think we can tie her DUI back to her program days and say the program let her down the same as we cannot credit a program for a person who stops abusing drugs 20 years after leaving the program. Many people can relapse for many reasons and “do†every day.
