Being a survivor of a horrific experience is never easy - I assure you of that but this board or any board on the internet is not the place to heal - trauma needs therapy, and if you are not healthy then you can't make a difference, and without names or specific posting it is quite obvious to me that a lot of people are not healthy enough to be giving advice. Secondly all parents including myself make mistakes so I am not buying that their are perfect parents so cut the _S really. Bottom line their are going to be a group of kids in this country - world for that matter that need the level of care in a residential school. You can't change that I can't change that, what I do work hard to change is that parents are honestly informed, and well informed when making these choices, know their rights and their kids rights. I really believe that some who are posting are going through alot due to whatever in their lives - if you are angry at your parents work this out with them, not some other kids parents at some point no matter what happened (and I am not lessening any alleged abuses in your lives) we all have to grow up - get past it - and act like adults.
Good luck."
Again, who are YOU tell tell us what is appropriate to post here and not? There is that program arrogance, remember??
I have learned that it is okay to be assertive but never agressive.
I used to think this too.. I was a pretty passive person before I had to deal with WWASP fuckheads like you. Funny how they brought the aggression right out of me!!

You're kiddnig right? This board is for SURVIVORS of programs to tell their story, who needs therapy to remember what happened to them within the past couple years? To heal all we need is to get out of the program and get away from the sadistic cult that runs WWASP. [and its chronies like you!]
I know that struggling teens is sensored I also know that most people here either are not qualified to make a decision for a parent, and to bash them, while whomever is sitting home on a computer with nothing better to do is insane.
This quote just makes you sound insane, it makes no sense. Again, insulting to all who read these boards. You really think highly of yourself huh? IF you dont want to read our posts, LEAVE- nobody will miss you.
Bottom line their are going to be a group of kids in this country - world for that matter that need the level of care in a residential school.
And, so there will always be a population of Parents with grown children who want NOTHING to do with them for the remainder of their adult lives. Children who grow up and eventally get the chance to pay the karma back to their parents by sticking them in an abusive old people's home. Ahh, sweet irony!

Again, great to tell us about ourselves even though you are obviously CLUELESS! If the people you trust most in your life, payed people to kidnap you, transport you in handcuffs to a shithold prison in the middle of nowhere one night and leave you there for almost 2 years at the hands of saidistc abusive HICKS that put you in a cage if you misbehave- lets see if you don't hold a grudge... something is telling me you would.
To all the keyboard jocky WWASP supporters here, you have NOOOO idea what some of us went through. You can cling to the success stories the suck up students write- the ones who have a grand old time as one of the staffs buddies. Well guess what, some of spent most of our time in isolation and fear and that feeling is hard to get rid of, even now.
These programs should be SHUT DOWN. and ANYONE who tries to open one should be arrested.
The problem is NOBODY GIVES A SHIT. Even the parents who know they made a mistake, very few come forward. To the ones who do - I COMMEND YOU ON BEING HONEST. It's not easy admitting you made a mistake, especially such a big mistake involving the lives of your children.
Stop defending abuse anon, you sound like a Pentagon Spokesperson explaining why Abu Gharib 'wasn't that bad.' Belive me, it sounds exactly the same..
