Typical Day at Sagewalk
Deborah:
What? No URLs, troll?
A user name, perhaps?
Even a thread I participated in?
Yeh, blather.
BTW, I wasn't offically 'banned', it was more covert... Error message: This username is not registered.
In hindsight, might have been an actual error.
Either way, wasn't worth my time to re-register.
Shortbus:
Like I said before - just throwing out the white flag and asking for a little help... whatever happened burned you pretty bad. But youre just another person on a bulletin board, I dont have a pressing desire to understand if you have no intention of meeting me halfway, or at the very least taking a couple steps in my direction.[ This Message was edited by: Shortbus on 2005-08-27 15:04 ]

I think there was a bit of sarcasm here. It strikes me that some of the posters, even those who worked at RTC's show poor language abilities and a lack of reading comprehension.
And the fact is, parents...good parents, DO talk to their kids. They do ask why! They are patient and kind, they are strong and they set boundaries. But some kids have underlying biological factors that make them rebel. Or their personality doesn't fit with their school environment. OR they suffer abuse at the hands of trusted school officials. It is a complex matter.
One more thing, do ANY of you who are throwing out the term "bad parents" have children of your own??? any?? Because being a "good" parent is not so straightforward as you suggest.
Anyone who is not parenting a teen should NOT be offering advice to parents who are. THAT is simple. So get a grip yourself.

You respond as if this thread isn't 4 months old.

It may be 4 months old but it is still applicable to the general opinions on here and people are obviously still reading it! Why is everyone so easily inflamed and moved to attack?
And now, a question that is not 4 months old. And a question I am asking everyone. If not RTC's then what is YOUR solution? It is very easy to be a critic but much more difficult to actually solve problems. So thank you all very much for letting the world know that there are abuses at RTC's. Now let's figure out what parents can and should do when they are worried about their child.
That's my goal.
