LOOK AT THEIR CRAP?
LMAO ... that's program talk, you idiot parent!
SUCKER!
Deborah:
Well, at this particular program they might have the opportunity to literally look at their crap or someone elses. Did you see or hear of the Phantom Duker scene??

Why is it that you feel like the kids bear no responsibility for being there in the first place?
My son had the opportunity to do outpatient rehab, therapy as well as NA -- problem is he was never sober long enough to get any benefit.
This is the first time he has been sober in two years. I know WC does not cure anything -- it is a wake up call for the kid that there are consequences for their actions and that there are places and people who will not put up with their behavior.
I am not a "rogram parent" I don't "drink the kool-aid" -- I am a parent who has tried everything and had a child who knew that in the State of California - nothing was going to happen to him.
Like when he was mad at his sister so he bashed in the side of her new car -- police did nothing.
Like when he trew a phone across a classroom and injured a teacher sending her to the emergency room - police did nothing.
Like when we caught him in our home smoking weed - police did nothing.
Like when he trashed his room smashing everything and punching holes in the walls -- police did nothing...
Like when he started stealing from the neighbors and dealing to get his drugs -- Police did nothing
But ya know when he took a swing at the Redcliff staff member he had a take down and funny thing is he has not tried that again... hummm ... wonder why?
Walk a mile in my shoes and then you can judge me --
Again I ask -- what would you do?

Sounds like the police did about as much as you did. Although I find it hard to believe that he hurt a teacher and they did nothing. There are children in first grade being handcuffed and taken out of school by police officers, and they harmed no one.
Short of any humane response which is apparently not on your radar.... Ever think of hiring a big burly guy or a relative to knock him down a couple of notches?
Ya know, that's how many traditional cultures dealt with wife/child abusers. I think we should go back to that technique and leave the police to write traffic tickets.
Does your son have a father?
What did he do?
Has your son paid restitution to those he caused damages?
Or was his trip to wilderness his 'unrelated' punishment?
How was your son 'taken down'?
What restraint was used?
How many times?
What were they saying to your son when they had him pinned on the ground?
How long was he pinned?
Why do YOU think your son was so angry?
Did you ever ask? Genuinely, not sarcasticly.
A few round in the ring every now and then with someone a tad bit bigger might have had a similar effect.
Many HAVE walked a mile in your shoes, and chose not to bale. It's your choice to perceive that, and other comments, as judgment.... or not.
You were desperate when your son was showing you his level of distress, now you're desperate to convince others of how justified and helpless you were. ::boohoo::
Does life ever get easy for desperate, struggling parents? Or are you always the victim of someone?

Did your son pick up the phone and call TEEN HELP, aka WWASP? I doubt it.

I would have done a GOOGLE at the very least and found the hundreds, if not thousands of abuse accounts written by former prisoners and their parents.
If I HAD made the mistake of sending my kid to a program and I started realizing it, I wouldn't go into denial as most parents do. I'd pull them out immediately, apologize profusely and hope they don't shun me for the remainder of their life.
That's what I'd do...
