i jread that creatures review and got sick.
its interesting that she talks about how no one has the right to judge untl they "have had to make that terrible decision" to send a kid to program...and NOT that no one has the right to judge unless THEY WERE THAT KID THAT WAS SENT TO PROGRAM!
Ultimately, as the recipients of the "intervention" WE ARE THE JUDGES she should be looking to.
That says alot about this womans viewpoint-she responds to the desires of the guaridans i- not the needs of the youth. She doesnt see we are not commodities manipulated to service the adults deserires but humans. Therefore assisting with our abduction is not a "service", but a crime . She is trafficing in human children as much as any other slaver with just as handsome a payoff. Its this empathic deficit that allows peple like her to operate
.
Look lady, the kids who were abused 30 years ago, the kids who were abused like me 6 years ago, and the kids who were abused 2 years ago are all abused in the same manner under the same pretexts. Your very existance is evidence of their continued abuse in the exact same way.
Thats becasue is abuse de facto -nay torture, for you and the parents you represent to simply declare kids "insane" and abduct them becasue of it, as much as it would be if I did that to YOU. Neither of you are authorities to do that anymore than I am. Before anyone has authority to abduct kids they should be declared insane under very specific criteria by a qualified profeessional who will be held responsible for faulty decisions. They deserve the right tp a hearing where they can defend themself against that charge of insanity, just as YOU would have if you were charged. This way they life isnt a complete Orwelian nightmare that is enough in itself to send any child spiraling into madness.
Then and only then can they be taken to a qualified HOSPITAL with qualfied DOCTORS who work with them under the very specific laws of medical protocal- not under whatever yocal that want s to rake in 5,000 a month after declaring himself an owner of a "school" for the troubled kids- which is the case of EVERY SINGLE program in existance today.
Kids deserve this as YOU do, becasue like YOU they are human. In fact And as they are not human traficers perhaps they deserve this more than YOU. They are human and until you and your henchmen realize that you will continue abisuing them in the identical fashion you always have

--- Quote from: ""Deborah"" ---Frances reviews Maia's book:
Reviewer: Dore Frances "defrances" (Bend, Oregon) - See all my reviews
This book was a long read for me personally. It was brutal.
In my opinion, unless you are the parent of a teen who needs intervention and yuo have tried all local resources with no results, unless you have had to sit down with yourself and make that gut-wrenching decision that leaves you feeling like the bottom of the world has just dropped away, unless you have personally visited programs and schools and cried each visit because you see someone there just like your child, unless you spoke to the staff and students, and spent time doing complete background research yourself, unless you have placed your child in the hands of others and had to trust that you were leaving your child in the very best place for them at that time, unless you went through the process with your child as an involved parent and looked at your own faults, unless you celebrated with your child all their accomplishments and heard them say "Thank you for saving my life", even 5 years after they graduated, unless you spend time in this industry in one way or another, unless the very best for the child is always your first concern and priority, you really cannot, in my opinion, make an honest opinion or evaluation about this book.
In my ten years of experience as an educational consultant and child right's advocate, and twenty years as a mother, most programs and schools, adolescent escort services, therapists, and educational consultants are ethical and treat children with dignity. As in any business, and as it is in life, people are human, and will make choices and mistakes that are not always in the best interest of those they serve. That is sad, unfortunate and a fact of human behavior and life.
In the news we only hear about the boot camps that are committing horrendous mistreatment of adolescents and teens. We very rarely hear about the success stories. Any person or program that attempts to steal a soul and harm a child needs to be out of business today.
No matter how "bad" a child may behave or what choices they make to get themselves into trouble, it is never necessary to subject them to brutality of any kind or steal their worth as a human being. This book seems to bring up some very old information and not enough new information.
Again, unless you step into the shoes yourself, anyone can write anything at anytime and make it appear the way in which they feel will "sell" more books to already fragile family's in need of help.
I did not see any "realistic" alternatives to helping these families with their children. Is that the next book?

This "review" invested an inordinate amount of text devoted to Dore on Dore and nary more than two sentences on the actual book in question.
I could not have said it better myself:

From the website of USA Guides Inc., specializing in "youth transport":
--- Quote ---In a Press Release issued by Dore Frances, an Independent Educational Consultant.
I enjoy working with Sherry Andersen, as well as all the staff at USA Guides. They have more than proven their capabilities during some very difficult transports in and out of the country. This is most easily reflected in some of the wonderful letters I received from parents that I worked with and in which Sherry and her team assisted. I'd like to share them with you.
The first letter was passed along by L. Dahlke, of El Segundo, California, 15 year old daughter, writes:
"In May of this year, I had contacted Dore Frances to assist with placement of our daughter. She referred us to USAGuides to assist in bringing her to her program. USAGuides was successful beyond my expectations. I wish to voice my appreciation for the care and treatment our daughter received while she was in their care. I thank them for all they did to make this easier for me."
The next letter was passed along by M. Copper, of Honduras, 13 year old daughter, writes:
"The only person I found who would help me, being so far way on assignment, was Dore Frances. I had no contacts in the U.S., and she referred me to USA Guides to assist with bringing my daughter to her program. She had just been kicked out of a program in Utah, who said they could help her, but then realized they couldn't. They placed her in a hospital, and then called me in Honduras and said I had 24 hours to come and get her. I cannot say enough concerning my gratitude and appreciation for what Dore and USA Guide's did. USA Guide's even took the time to stop and buy her some shoes on the way. I again had the pleasure of USA Guides helping me with my second daughter just last month. The director personally drove to the airport to meet her. He is a wonderful and truly caring person. Dore Frances is also a truly exceptional person and I feel she is in exactly the field of helping kids and families she should be in."
And this from J. Lange, of New York, 17 year old daughter, says:
"I wish to express my most heartfelt thanks and gratitude to Dore Frances for recommending USA Guides. All of the staff were in contact with me during the entire procedure from start to finish. Our daughter even developed a good relationship with her escorts, and that means more to me than I can say."
I have so many, but here is one more from C. Aibel, Pennsylvania, son 17, writes:
"We took Dore Frances's advice to go with an escort because of our son's drug use. As it turns out, we really did need to depend on the USA Guides team to help us. They were so nice, friendly, helpful, understanding, patient and professional. I really enjoyed not having to go through this without their help."

This was in the 'Parent Testimonials' section, taking up close to half the space thereof. Why does this sound like yet another advertisement for Dore? It seems like she'll exploit any venue to get some more words in plugging herself. Of course, in this case, it may be mutual admiration; perhaps USA Guides doesn't get too many positive parent testimonials...
