Concern for a "student"
Anonymous:
Why would a parent have a vested interest in supporting programs? No one wants a family to have to send their child to a program. However, if there is a need and all other options have been exhausted, there are parents who have been through it who can help and support the parents who are just beginning the process. Our goal as parents is to support each other and counter the abuse you inflict on innocent parents who mistakenly come to this site for information and advice. These parents should not be made to feel ashamed or neglectful as parents because it is necessary to seek treatment outside the home for their kids.
Many of us have experiences with programs that are supportive and in no way abusive.
You, on the other hand, take your anger and your narrow little life and use it to hurt and insult others.

"Abused parents." Now that's rich.
Throw another pity party for yourselves while neglecting your kids needs. Typical.
The vested interest comes from the free months you get from referring others who sign contracts. It's also a psychological and financial investment you made by paying tons of money out to these places. Nobody wants to admit getting snookered. It's painful, and I understand that.
I'll help you on your road to recovery. Repeat after me: "It's hard to admit, but I was suckered out of lots of money. I was sold a bill of goods. I didn't do what was necessary to raise my kid. I copped out. I'm making a commitment not to do it again, nor to advise others to do the same."
See, it's not that hard.

So it's just fine to have a child rapist as a cook or janitor, just not a counselor or teacher?
You're really out there...

How could you have disclosed your previous conviction to two former employers Dysfunction when you said yourself in this post to never tell?

I personally would advise never to tell. Nothing good can come from it. Only REAL possibility is getting terminated on the spot.
DEFINITELY don't tell, even when asked.
The laws are all fucked up, yes. I ended up getting hit with 1-3 in NYS system for my first and only pop - no sale involved. However, I was CHARGED with A Class felony which carries 25-life in NY.
If I weren't a great dealer making lots of money, I could never have come up with the shoebox full of cash required for my lawyer's $25,000 retainer and $1000/court day fees and the subsequent dropping of the A, B, and C Class felonies for which I was charged.
I call it "Capital Punishment." If you have capital, you don't get punished...
