« on: October 04, 2005, 03:52:00 AM »
Just wanted to say I've filed a motion again to the family law division to gain some control of my situation. Wish me and ny wherehoused teen luck......Im gong to need all I can get because its all about getting lucky in the court room I attend. I Will let the forum know the outcome, since this is really the only place I can communicate with others thst have a clue of what these places are. So thats it...no questions this time can you believe it!!!!

Wow what an absolutely brilliant idea! It never even entered my  mind.

COME ON, do you truly think I haven't exausted every obvious and legal avenue as of now? I dont have to go into all of the hours Ive spent in court not to mention the thousands (70 as of now) that Ive spent on trying to do just that.. gain just one little part of custody or parental right.

Yes, I do stand corrected, a Behavior Modification warehouse. I almost forgot! If it were a school it would require them to report what grades my child were getting. As of yet I have not been told.

It is unfortunately Legal for these places to do whatever it is that they want, if it were different then there probly wouldn't be a site as this one. Ive already looked into the legallities of the mail situation. I will say as the FFS told me. If you don't like it there is nothing you can do about it, so thats that.

Well again my child was not able to recieve my letter I wrote because I told him that he has a great gift of intuition, which Ive told him before because its true.I was informed that it is the complete opposite of what they are teaching there. Also, I used the word trippy to descibe something and that also was not allowed. If they only knew how we do it out here on the West coast. So I will resend the letter now for the 3rd time. My child has been at this school for 6 months now and so far has not yet been able to receive a letter from me. NOT that I haven't written, I have many times over and over but it just seems that the mail somehow gets "lost" They must still be using muke or something. zSo its certified from here on out...

The Troubled Teen Industry / Why do these schools have students call when they put a chil
« on: September 18, 2005, 02:49:00 PM »
This isn't the first time that this has happend, if my kid is not able to make the 5 minute phone call that week because of being in the corner or family blackout, a student calls and says "Hi this is ---- and Im calling to tell you that -----won't be able to talk this week because ----is in the corner" It's NEVER a staff member who calls, and yes students are involved with the therapy, actually they are only allowed to have therapy with students, because...well..."kids lie" as they say. I really don't care if the school reads these, I hope they do because they know as well as I that my kid shouldn't be there. But they are in for the mighty dollar sign $$$$$$$$$$Im sure any kid would straighten there act if you paid Them 5 grand a month! Also, I want others to know about this Family Foundation School, in case they are wondering about sending someone there. I agree that there are worse programs out there but this is comparable. Yes they are licensed, unfortunately.

"Penni You seem to have taken over this board with all your ??????'s. You need to get a mind of your own."


First off, if my questions bother you than don't read them, are there not other subject topics you can go to? (another question, that you should be asking yourself) Second, I don't have all day to sit and use the computer, I have a very busy life, unfortunately I cannot browse as often as  I would like to find out about other places as this. I also am going through one of the most difficult things to deal with having my son so far away from me. If there is a site that would let me vent a little about these things I would not have to ask a question to get support from others. If you have any SUGESTIONS than please tell me, if not than don't comment back. I believe if I didn't have a mind of my own I would never have the brains enough to create a question, actually I would probly just go along with everything that the school told me. Come to think of it, it really bothers them when I ask questions too.BY the way you get a mind of your own and create a user name and password, or would that be to hard for you?

I can not only imagine, but have expierenced being "institutionalized" the feeling is scary when you are released. I can only imagine what my teen will go through when he gets out of the Family Foundation School.PLEASE, is there anyone that can give me some more insight as to what he will be feeling. Will he be brainwashed? Will I even know him anymore??? :question:  Or will he be some "programned" type recluse? Please reply... :question:

So, I'm pretty much assuming that no one has any encouraging words to share. Wasn't that the original subject? Oh well I'll figure out something to tell him, like run like hell...run forrest run!! Run to the hills! :em:

I would be able to deal with all this if it were only their best thinking that got them where they were. If my teen was sitting in juvi then yes, its their thinking somewhat that got them their.Its called natural and logical consequences of behavior. You do a crime you do the time. You drink and drive you may either end up dead, in jail or end up killing innocent people and then go to prison. Being sent away by your parents is not their own choice. My teen had no idea places as these exsisted, maybe if they were warned once if they keep messing up away you go, then they would have straightned their shit up. But no, neither them nor I knew.So, no wonder your dumb ass has to wear a bag over your head, I would to if I were that stupid!Oh and for them to work on what was troubling them inside, you actually think these places give a shit about that, let alone give kids a safe place to share whats happened to them..Ha, that would require caring about these kids.[ This Message was edited by: P.E.N.1 on 2005-09-11 07:58 ]

The Troubled Teen Industry / How Lame is this
« on: September 10, 2005, 05:40:00 PM »
I recently was about to attend a "family group" where my teenager is held captive. Well I was informed that my family couldn't attend the group, as it was only for parents. How lame is that? why don't they just call it parents group? I was totaly misinformed just thought I'd share some more of the insanity that these schools present.

Would anyone have any encouraging words to help a teenager get through the hard times they are enduring? If so could you please be so kind to share some. And please, Jesus Loves You does not help.
