Hello antigen and anonymas...
Don't worry I don't take this personally. As everyone has there own apinions to the story. I just wanted to let you all know that everything you hear isn't always true. these people are not SOB's, just people with a strong opinion. which is always fine. i would bet or put money on it that there kids would NEVER end up in one of these camps! ;0) i understand out there!
thank you for your condolences. it's been a long time since i've been able to talk about my brother and what happened. Yesterday i was online looking around and decided to look at some other stories about kids that have passed away from these camps. i didn't realize how upset i still was til i almost starting crying.   :cry2:  
again i want to thank you all for your input. it was nice (and interesting) to read.  :wink:
you say that most of you or your kids have gone through these programs? any stories? i'm curious!
wish you all the best,
Renae

Hello, I don't know that any of you actually still look at this topic, however, I noticed that you were interested in having the mother of eddie lee on here to talk with you. I'm not his mother, however, i am his sister. my name is Renae Lee and i live in portland oregon. i'm 22 years old and am attending school.
I have so many comments about what you have all had to say that I dont  even know where to begin.
I want you to all remember and know that everything that is said in the paper or online is not always true. My mother sent him there knowing that she was uncertain about the situation and the camp and his conditions considering. To be completely honest, the bottom line ended up with our step dad wanting him to go and pushing my mother to have him go. He didn't belong there and i wish that i would have seen that then. unfortunatly all i saw was a 15 year old boy that needed a little help and thought that maybe this would be a good place for him. My mom did all the research she could possibly find for this camp. including calling parents of children that were out there at the time and children that had come home. of course your always going to find the good ones and not the people that came out messed up more then than when they went in. she was devestated the night that he past away. (as was everone else) sueing was not even an option.she wanted justice and that was that. we went to council meetings, changed laws, talked to people about the camps, wrote a book, sent out pamphlets, etc... nothing seemed to matter. obsidian got away scott clean. the last thing to do was to sue them. not to mention that by this time my mom had gotten to the point where she just wanted to forget about everything because she was ready to kill her self as well to be with him. so she basically just walked away from it and took them for what ever it was that she could including there money. I appreciate all of your comments and outlooks on this. i hope that all of you keep this in mind!   :???:
