Thanks, Deborah.  Good summary.

The behavior and the activites of the parents truely will never fail to discust me. We all know that statement. "The Trobled Parent Industry." Yet I think nothing really drives it home better than the condicention of Program parents. Things like fixing their kids, or giving them structure, or keeping them away from their friends. Its all just such a poor example for the youth. My girl friend who went through CSA told me. "The only thing I learned how to do was lie better." I think this is a universal thing. Lets think about it shall we.

The kids are lied to in order to get to the place.
The kids are lied to about when they will be going home.
The kids are lied to about their graduation time.
The kids are lied to about the group dynamics and how to properly work within a group.

The entire Behavior modification model, and fixing the kids is based off of one massive lie or manipulation. Its really sad how parents do this to their children in order to fix any issue they have.

Comments like "She did it and didn't quit" truely show how parents have no fucking idea whats going on in these kids daily lives. The parents should be put through a program just like the kids. It is onnly because of the parents failure that these kids are in a program. Yet because their adults the shit can roll down hill and it can all land on a kid. How sad it is when parents wont take responsiblity for their own failures as a parent.  :sad:

They did quiet a number on Jada though. She was last, sitting in the circle alone. They asked if she knew what was going on and then told her that everyone else was graduating. They let her believe that she was the only one not going home. They directed her to complete her assignment- go over the hill. She collapsed on the ground sobbing. While she was down they rammed it home re: what she needed to work on and change (lying). They made her stand up and walk over the hill, sobbing. Her parents were waiting.

Her dad said later, "She did it and didn't quit". Like she had a choice?



Nothing like the element of surprise to make for a happy ending. Smiles and hugs all around. Promises to be good. Even Frank and Isaiah claimed to have been changed- different people.

Maybe I'm diffrent, I'm just kinda spiteful, I would indeed just get upset, maybe not at seeing them but if my parent spouted something like jada's did I would of just snaped. Its the idea of "Oh, your fixed we love you again." You know? That would of just driven me deeper into my issues than anything else. In siad situation, I may of hugged my mother... maybe... if she were crying, I would of just ignored my father. How would you react?

I would have "played the game, and done the HUG-HUG thing, or whatever it took" just to get the hell outta there! But, I WOULD NOT have agreed to have gone on off to some "boarding school" for another full year of Behavior Modification, no way! The one girl refused; but her little parents sat right there on TV pondering "what will we do with her?" since this bad bad girl had smoked pot AGAIN!! oops, this girl is in big trouble...sounds like a treatment facility to me.
