The Troubled Teen Industry / khk on cincinnati news
« on: May 06, 2005, 05:54:00 PM »
no, its not b.s. I am 39 yrs old,married to my daughters' father for 21 years and have three daughters.I have been very involved in their lives, and understand that kids experiment with drugs. I also have educated my girls about their bodies, and the 2 older ones came to me, and I took them to a doctor to get birth control. Then I bought them condoms, because an unwanted pregnancy is the least of their problems (std's etc)Yes, the terms f**k & s&*k is extreme & vulgar, but thats what she's doing, and it's breaking our hearts. So, she's getting the help she needs right now via detox at cincinnati childrens hospital so we can then work on the other issues. And, no I wasnt thinking very clearly last night, as Ive had about 6 hours of sleep in the past 4 days.I just wanted to tell you about the story on wkrc & ask a question that I knew the answer in my heart already. I wont be back. Im grateful for your info re khk,but when parents are trying to help their children, it isnt helpful & quite frankly pretty disturbing to read posts from buzzkill & anonymous.Like people in the midst of this need any more negativity. Good luck to you all.

Thank you. My daughters Katie,also. Its going from bad to worse here. Older sis came home last night & apparently my Katie is a crack ho. She & her friends will suck or f&ck for the crack. I know theres an underlying issue (duh)maybe bipolar, but we cant diagnose it while she's using. I dont think Ive ever felt so helpless.

Posted this also over on the khk forum.Just thought Id let you know WKRC (channel 12)in cincinnati just had a story on teen meth use. At the end of the story they had the tag.."If your child needs help, please call Kids Helping Kids" & gave the phone number.My daughter update: got probation,house arrest & lost her d license til she's 18 & then flunked a piss test with 500 ml? of cocaine. And a quick ?? I think I found a bag of what I think may be crack. It's small baby teeth sized off white chunks with tannish brown flecks in it. It kind of smells sweet. Its in the standard bag of choice-cellophane cig wrapper. 3 small chunks. any input here?

To fka- The juvenile resources in Hamilton County (cincinnati)do not refer people to KHK. I dont know if they did in the past.Also, our insurance company(anthem/magellan behavior) does not recognise khk as an "accredited" facility. Its a sad state of affairs when it's so difficult to get your child help, esp when there are underlying issues(depression,etc).But it's even sadder when trusted medical professionals recommend something that could be damaging to a childs soul.Maybe khk isnt "as rough" as its predecessor, but Im not willing to take that chance.Thanks again for everyones insight.

Thank you for your reply. I went to the khk facility this afternoon with my husband.It was interesting to say the least.The "intake" coordinator was just as cute as can be. I asked her age(25,has worked there 1 year)and if she was a "graduate" (no).I did not bring the straight subject at all in the beginning.We were allowed to have a "one on one" 20 minute "private"(?) meeting with a second phaser.Also, as cute as a button. I reviewed my list of questions for the "phaser", and her answers were pretty predictable.I found myself correcting her when she was referring to herself as a loser, etc. I asked her if she hed felt humiliated at all, or if she had to admit to things she would have rather kept private. She said no. And when asked if she had ever witnessed/heard of kids cutting on themselves,answer again, no.Religion crammed down their throats, no, etc etc etc.When she was leaving the room,when the intake girl came back, she kinda gave a little air punch&said "I LOVE IT HERE!! That was overkill for me. Then came the "tour".Joke of a tour..I dont give a shit where Suzie does insurance billing.I wanted to see whe meeting rooms, although we did see the bathroom. Then we were led back to the intake room to see if we had any final questions. I pulled out my papers & fired away. Straight?"Oh no, we're not affiliated with them, but yes, we did buy the building, yes, we follow the same 7 rules, parent rules, phase rules,no contact rules,isolation rules, but we're not affiliated with Straight".Ok, then how do you differ from them..."They were a little rougher" What is the required reading for "phasers"&parents.."The Big Book". Well, who wrote "The Big Book"? "Not sure, I'll check on that".What happens if a phaser becomes ill or violent, or misbehaves?"We intervene & use a time out room" How do you get them to the time out room"Im not sure" We were told if we werent sure this was the right program for our daughter, we could try it out for a 7 day assessment period.What percentage of 7 day assessment kids are recommended for the program in its entirety?"95%" Of course.Maybe it works for a few kids, but its not an option for our family.Thanks again for the info. BTW..we're also going to switch therapists.

thanks. i know what you mean about making a big deal. Shes our third. her sisters have smoked pot.But they also graduated hs, are in college,have jobs & dont get arrested on a regular basis bc of their recreation.Its NOT an addiction for them. But it is for this one.Its a part of growing up. You have to experiment.Who the hell didnt.BUT...coke & heroin-different beasts. I am going in there tomorrow armed with the info I have&if there are no open door/phone policies, I wont do it.The court will have to find an alternative if thats what they rule.(therapist said we should put her in b4 court next week..judge will order her to go,insurance wont pay then,blah.)BUT WHERE DO PARENTS GO????? Thanks again.
