I dont know if you being sarcastic or not, but I will answer your queestion either way.
No one seems to arugue about the fact that John Mercer DID cross the lines with many girls. covincing them to talk about their previous sexual lives in detail, and some girls who were raped or molested. No one is making excuses for him like they have in every other posts. They have stated that John used "tough love" yes some can possibly understand that, but how can we make sense of this? Can anyone possibly say how that in any way was right?

If we agree on the same thing why do you keep on being sarcastic? I agree with you there is nothing to argue that's the whole point..yes he is very wrong. Many the young women in this forum keep on defending him..now since this issue has been brought up no one seems to be justufiying his actions. This is a clear example of something that happened EVIDENCE. Look at every other topic..someone is always justifying John Mercer's behavior. Does this mean that the whole "battle" has ended?
Please state why you agree. We need more statements made on this topic.

I believe anyone who forces little girls (and yes, girls age 12 are little girls) to divulge their very private sexual experiences, asking for every detail, is sexually abusive and has another agenda. Especially when this person is not even a therapist.

Think about it. I've read here where girls are forced to tell their sexual and drug histories and then if they really don't have any, they are forced to write about it anyway or they will suffer serious forms of punishments. To avoid those punishments they make up anything they can think of. Most of it they learned once they arrived at MMS. Then these "histories" are given to parents who believe their daughter is so far worse than they ever imagined and they leave her in the program for a couple of years instead of a few months. Quite clever, Mercer.

Practices at MMS are not based on long-term studies that are proven to help children with the host of emotional problems accepted at MMS.

How can they justify taking in girls with suicidal issues, cutting issues, depression, sexual abuse, rape, and the list could go on forever? How? They aren't qualified.

Maybe they have a therapist there, but what about the private "group" sessions done with Mercer and the girls? The ones where he forces them to reveal their deepest darkest secrets? He's made them tell all, sometimes revealing all of the horrible things that happened to them while they were raped, and then he sends them off to bed? No follow-through? What then?

Again, how can they justify that this is good for a child? I've read it here and I have no reason to doubt what these girls are saying. Too many stories to not believe them at this point. Even the girls who are pro-MMS will admit there were some things that went on there that they think were not right. The writing is on the wall.

I have actually been waiting for someone specific to repond to this topic..Betsy? since you've been so protective of the school I would like to hear what you think about this topic. Or can you not justify this?

And some of you women went to this reunion, right? Did anyone confront JOHN and ask him WHY he did this? Or, did you just "play nice and pretend it just never happened?"
