I just cant get over NATSAP's- of which MMS is part of- objections to regulation.  Or rather, their desire to slash and cut some of the valuable provision like claiming b/c it would be an administrative nightmare, state standard from which a kid comes should not apply.  BS, that's not the truth, it's b/c they would have to change their strategy. Most kids, I have seen, are sent from Ca that seem to be more protective of kids from abuse.  
If NATSAP facilities had to follow these guidlines they would have to treat their kids well, with dignity and respect...hmm... there's a foreign concept.

"NATSAP would like to offer our resources to work with you on ways to approach the problem of defining the proper role of government and regulation for the private pay market. "  

So ridiculous- yes, we can not and should not let the best interest of kids get in the way of the private markets...  After all, our country is all about markets now, isn't it- can't interfere in the markets now can we.  and we call this freedom.  
freedom for who?  to do what?

Troll Control:
Yes.  Yes, it is.

NAPSAP is what as known as a trade organization ... and yeah, it is a joke that parents think their kids are somehow safer because NAPSAP gives the thumbs up to some program.  This is an example of self-regulation and why many are advocating for federal regulations to stop trade organizations from making and playing by their own rules.

With all due respect, this is not what is known as self-regulation. NATSAP has a mess of rules and regs, but they have no authority and don't enforce anything. Even if a program belongs to NATSAP, no one ever checks to see if they follow the rules. There are actually lots of examples of true self-regulation that works really well. NATSAP isn't one of them. NATSAP is just a well-established lip-service outfit.

examples where self- regulation works?  for instance?  I'm curious if only b/c I would think that there would be a clear conflict of interest at any attempts to self-regulate the industry.
