Anyone grateful for the time at Spring Creek Lodge?

To the friend:
You're doing the right thing getting all the information you can. You seem to have a pretty realistic take on what your friend's problems are, and how they might be addressed. Obviously your motivation has to do with genuine concern for him, rather than a need to be right about this.
Keep it up. Keep asking questions here and at other places. Keep lines of communication with his family open and honest. I have worked at three programs over the last eight years, and never saw any abuse at all. I've seen many kids do well, and some do just as poorly when they leave as when they got there.
The idea, I think, is to get them safe and get their attention so they can decide for themselves which direction to take,and the family can begin healing. Every program I know of is family intensive, and works with parents and siblings closely.
Are there some bad programs? I guess there may be, but I've seen only good ones---including Spring creek.
Troll? Maybe, but I can trust my own eyes and experience. If your friend's family is feeling uncertain, encourage them to call and to visit so they can trust their own eyes and experience. Of course, at that point, the good folks on this website will just call them brainwashed.
:roll:
The important thing is for the family and your friend to get what THEY think they need.

Spring Creek IS an abusive facility as well as all other WWASP programs!! Don't fall for the misinformation campaign of an interested few. They will spin and spin and spin but the truth is out there. Go to myspace and research WWASP. There are over a thousands people who belong to anti-WWASP and anti-SCL and program groups. There is a reason. If you want your kid to be WORSE OFF send them to a program. You are sending them to a cult, an abusive cult. Why are there dozens and dozens of lawsuits filed by parents? Why are there websites like this that get thousands of posts per week? Why are there over a thousand people on myspace groups talking out against WWASP? Why specifically THIS program if it's so good. There is a reason. Use your common sense people, the truth is right in front of your face.

It's hard for me to feel sorry for people that were in the hobbit at scl after being in isolation boxes in samoa. I was in both I guess that I would prefer the hobbit over what they did to us in Samoa. It's the lesser of two evils. Not saying either is good.
The Liger:
What is the isolation box like? Sorry if someone already talked about this. I don't ever have a whole lot of time to read the entire thread.
