"Help at any Cost" serves exactly the purpose it should serve. Why get down on anyone or anything that is serving your cause? Wake up! It is parents, not survivors, that need to be reached - we are the ones in panic decision mode, we are the ones , making these placement decisions, these "therapeutic" decisions, and, and WE NEED INFORMATION!. We need someone other than an "educational consultant" to turn to. I have already made the mistake with my son - I made a very bad choice, a choice based upon the information I had at hand. I hired a "professional" ( I now know that ed cons are really not professionals at all by other standards). I read, I googled, but now I know, I needed to google all the way to the bitter end. I did my due diligence in the best way I knew how, and it was not nearly enough. I only wish this book had been available to me two years ago. It explains this teen rehab industry fully, in a way, perhaps, that parents only can understand. And if I had read but one chapter of this book two years ago, if just one website like this, or isaccorp, had popped up, in my initial searches, my decision would have been so different, and my son would have never been abused.
I understand fully that as survivors you are in rage and in pain. But the best and only way to effect change for other kids, is to reach parents. You have your stories and they are more than valid - my son has his story, and it is an injury to our entire family. The cause at hand is to educate parents on a national basis - in doing that, other kids will be protected. I have financial resources, I have connections to the mainstream media, and I have cause to act. Get together; take action. There are parents there, like me, ready to take on the cause. My reasonmay be selfish....this is for Sam...but it is also for you.
