You are way too full of yourself. If you had a good experience and graduation was what "saved your life", as they'd have everyone believe, then great. By the way, what program did you graduate from?
There are a lot of kids who have attended these programs who have been emotionally, physically, psychologically abused - read the pages of this forum, check out other sites like
http://www.isaccorp.org,
http://www.caica.org, (you can find links to other sites from there) - read and learn about what these kids have experienced.
Perhaps their experiences were different than yours, or perhaps they simply were not brainwashed by their experience or they found their way back to reality. Who knows. It's been talked about enough, all the abuse, the mind games, the brain washing. I can't imagine this many people would find the need to lie about their experiences. I just don't think so.
And if that were the case, why would professionals now get on board to try to not only expose this industry but to try to get federal legislation passed to try to protect these kids?
Wake up to the reality that kids are being neglected, brainwashed, abused, tortured, even killed. Yes, killed. They are being restrained, their breath sucked right out of them. Lucky you, you're still here to talk about your experience. What abou them? They have no voice. None at all. I'm not trying to be dramatic, it's the cold hard truth. Don't think it's true? Check out those websites, there's plenty documented that will show you it is.
