Treatment Abuse, Behavior Modification, Thought Reform > Who Am I Discovery/Whitmore
THA TRUTH - PART III
Tha Truth:
I'm back...just wanted to clarify a few more things.
1) Just because a parent places their child in a program or treatment facility does not mean that they're passing the buck on their parental duties. I'm not saying that there are never such cases, but the majority of the parents that sent their kids to the Whitmore did it because they believed it was for their child's benefit. Believe me, they regret every moment their children were stuck there.
2) To all posters who were never at the Whit, anonymous and otherwise: "Mouse" WAS a student, I knew her personally. Her name is Caitlyn but for some inane reason she's choosing to go by "Angelina".
3) I can't speak for everyone involved in the civil suit, but I know for a fact that most of the parents' main objective is not the money. Chances are that no one will be reimbursed the $42,000 anyway.
4) Sue Scheff SHOULD be held accountable for her incredible irresponsibility. Taking parents who are at their wit's end and manipulating their trust just for a little kick-back is vile. You really can't sink much lower than cheating someone in a time of intense need.
5) To everyone making ridiculous accusations:
Just because people post here does not mean they are "neglecting their children" that they are "losers" or, that they "have no life". It's taken me all of about ten minutes to type what I have thus far and this is much longer than the average post. I might add that I am doing this after a full day of other activities that make up MY life (yes, I have one). Isn't that a little hypocritical too? In order to tell everyone posting here that they're losers, you'd have to post too - right?
6) To everyone using sexist, racial, or any other slurs: You are the perfect example of what no one wants to be. Bitter. Self-righteuos. Cynical. You are not encouraging anyone to see your point of view. When you speak that way towards people, they'll automatically dismiss your opinion with the first words that come out of your mouth. Narrow-minded people aren't really known for their intuition.
7) In conclusion: I really hope that this can be worked out in such a way as to minimize any more pain on either side. On that note, to the people who were never at the Whitmore or the parent of a prisoner there (or another abusive program): You did not have to live through that ordeal. Your unfounded, biting comments are not helping anyone. You're aggravating a situation in which you have no business being involved.
PEACE

Well, I disagree here on the passing of the buck, because thats what this whole thing is esentally, "I cant control him/her, so im going to give him/her to some one who can 'fix' her" That sounds like passing the buck to me. While many parents think they are helping their child, it really is passing the kid around.

Ok... ::shrugs:: I never really disbelieved that.

The man (sorry I dont know your gender) Is absolutely right here guys, class action law suits rarely pay off, not even against tobaco companies, after the lawyer takes his massive cut, then most likely every one will get somthing like 1,000 to 5,000 dollars. Awards in civil suits are really getting under control and its not going to be somthing crazy like 20 million or whatever.
Well thats about it, I really dont have much to comment on the rest of the post, because I pretty much agree, I have a few differances with the views, but those are rather pointless, and I have nothing to add, so, have a nice day
how do I get my damned signature posted? I cant figgure it out.[ This Message was edited by: OverLordd on 2005-06-27 05:45 ]

THE TRUTH is...irresponsible placement...on the part of those truly responsible...the PARENTS!
Whitmore simply offers a service...it is the responsibility of the PARENTS to investigate thoroughly. HECK, a quick look at their website would give any intelligent person a "CLUE" about the quality or lack there of. JUST READING THE kids' MISSION statements was enough evidence to support a questionable approach to placement. What kids write like that????
C'mon people, TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for your own faulty decisions!
