Concern for a "student"
Anonymous:
Fact One: This post shows Dysfunction Junction worked at Daytop at one time. It also shows that he had a felony conviction and prison sentance.
Fact Two: He no longer works in the TBS field. According to him he got disillusioned with the industry. I suspect he isn't allowed to be employed by them with a previous felony conviction as most TBS's do background checks for most of their employees usually.
Fact Three: He is an adult.

hey angela,
good to hear your news. george always was a bright guy. he pulled himself up by his bootstraps after about a 10 year bid for armed robbery and a terrible drug habit. i always figured he would rise above and go beyond.
i was not there for the incident you mentioned and lanza was still "acting" director when i left.
i have departed the mental health field for good. the system is just soooo broken that it's hard to do good work for one's clients. i worked for a while doing mental health claims reviews for Wellcare (an HMO), but found the same sort of problems there. i was told always to initially deny coverage and fight it out to pay as little as possible. again, patients being cheated out of care they desperately need. it's sickening.
i am now a mcse (microsoft certified systems engineer) and working on an MBA and work as an engineer for a major player in the computed radiography field.
if your friend speaks to george, please have her pass on my regards, ok?
i wonder if i know who your friend might be? in any case, good for her!
take care,
steve

Dysfunction-
Please refrain from using words such as Retarded as the Mother of a now adult man living with Autism I find it offensive even ingnorant on your part. If I am mistaken then I apologize for miss reading the post, but frankly I don't believe I did at any rate, to use abusive words is childish and ignorant.
For someone who claims to be as educated as you are and very well may be to use the language you have used, to say you worked in the Mental Health field and respond to people in the very hostile and abusive manner in which you do, leads one to believe the several reasons as to why I personally am thankful you are no longer in the field. Pretty Scary world out there to think that someone who still uses words like retarded and responds in abusive ways could have even worked in the field of Mental Health, as this type of behavior is part of the problem not the solution.
Please excuse my anger fellow posters but really the language in describing people can be offensive, is archiach, and frankly ignorant in this matter.

"who either had a bad experience working at those places or doesn't like the industry anymore"
This is your OPINION. What is a fact is that I worked for a facility that is held out as one of the very best in the industry and I saw horrible child abuse going on there daily.
I saw parents pay $4000.00 per month to have their kid berated, humiliated, starved, sleep deprived, forced into labor, beaten and worse. THOSE are the facts.
It's not that I don't "like" the industry anymore. It's that the "industry" is full of people who abuse children for money.
The difference between you and me is that I call it what it is - abusive - and you actively recruit others to subject their children to this horror.
Therein lies the true difference between us. You ACTIVELY ADVOCATE the abuse of children.
Frame it up however you like. You're simply an accessory to the crimes commited against helpless children. Plain and simple.
I also don't believe for one second that you're not a program parent. If you didn't have a VESTED INTEREST in supporting these places, your vision would be clear. You exhibit all of the symptoms...
PFRR:
It would probably be helpful to people if you would be specific when saying you in your posts, I myself could not nor would not even want to begin to think what is going on in your head, or assume anything. There are a lot of you's out there!

Fact Four: TWO treatment facilities where you folks like to send your kids hired me with full knowledge of my legal standing. I disclosed to them, but they never did a background check and had not the slightest care nor hesitation to hire me.
Again, you're spouting, but have the facts wrong.
And, apparently, you think it's just fine for "most" places to do background checks on "most" of their employees "usually."
Sounds like your version of the industry really has its act together. You've killed your own argument, as you've done many times before.
