katfish:
I'm not sure if I linked this here yet, but I thought some of you might find this helpful in terms of keeping tack of updates, legislation, 'A Start' activities...

I like the FACT SHEET especially!

Why is there no mention in the warning signs of LGA style involvement? Or, for that matter, TOUGHLOVE? What, if anything, have they had to say about Karen Lile's sworn testimony about the Discovery Seminar? http://www.nospank.net/lile.htm
Are these folks unaware of the origins of the Program model? That would be hard to swallow. Are they just not concerned about it?
How about the industry history going back more than just the last 15 years? Are they unaware of DFAF? Roloff? Hyde? Or just not concerned about them?
I would not let my children go to SW anymore than I would let them sleep in Michael Jackson's bed. I don't care if he was aquitted, it just ain't right.

Thank you! I'm glad to see someone asking these questions b/c honestly, IMO you hit the nail squarely on it's head.
Bottom line is history will repeat itself if groups like A Start and Kat's fail to emphasize the origin of the problem (the anti-drug-anti-youth movement of the 70's) for it is here that today's teen helpers and their brand of one-size-fits-all programs were spawned.
Second, if society doesn't change the way it views youth and stop criminalizing and medicalizing adolescence, nothing will change,in fact, I predict if anything, there will be more REGULATED RTC's full of children forced into them because of mandatory mental health screening procedures evicting them from their home, school and community.
Don't believe me? Already there are millions of kids being labled "deficient" and being force-fed drugs by their parents and teachers. Generation RX, the great white hope for the future? I don't think so. More like the biggest failure in American history.
