Don't you think the parents have done every possible thing to try to help the kid before resorting to wilderness?  Don't you think the parents tried to keep the kid in school and salvage the education?
What part of THE KID WAS BLOWING SCHOOL are you not understanding? The ONLY hope at this point is the wilderness program which will get the kid back on track.  Taking incompletes or repeating a semester is a pretty minor hurdle compared to jail, death from overdose, being killed in a car wreck or some other similar fate.  Also, in many cases it IS a summer choice.
You guys are really grasping this time.

Very soon now the drug will cause the subject to experience a deathlike paralysis together with deep feelings of terror and helplessness. One of our earlier test subjects described it as being like death. A sense of stifling and drowning.
And it is during this period that we have found the subject will make his most rewarding associations between his catastrophic experience and involvement with the violence he sees.

The part where you're simply saying that kids blow off school before being sent to programs (not all do... I wouldn't even say most) and that somehow marching in the woods with sadistic manipulative mind-fucking uneducated nitwits will 'put them on track' is the part I don't understand  :-?

Kids who are sent to a wilderness program have pretty much abandoned the educational opportunities they had at home.  8 weeks or so without schooling is not the end of the world.

Says who? Id love to see some proof about that. Ive heard of tons of kids escorted from school TO a program.

But then again you're just spewing nonsense anyway!

Quote from: ""Guest""
The kids can write freely and express their opinions.  They get in excellent physical condition and have a lot of pride in what they accomplish.  Those with serious addiction issues usually are not able to maintain sobriety after leaving the program if they go right home.  

BULLSHIT. Prove it! EVERYTHING ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN IN SUCH A PROGRAM HAS EVER SAID, AND ALL VIDEO OF SUCH PROGRAMS CONTRADICTS WHAT YOU JUST SAID! LOL!

Quote from: ""Guest""
The bunch of Mormons that run Second Nature are skilled, intelligent and caring.


Why is it all statements about people from programmed people reads like a fucking mad-lib?

You answer me how this can be legal, and then we can discuss schooling.


Lain, at some point you should tell us all what is not legal about the wilderness experience you put up there.  I read it twice and can not find it, its just about a bunch of kids hiking and learning how to keep each other safe, watching each others backs.  I dont think the shouting is illegal, a lot of kids get yelled at at home, unless it is one of those trick questions where they are all on illegal land or government land.
I dont think anyone else is going to guess at this point.

if you miss 8 weeks you'll fail the entire semester which means you can't graduate on time with the rest of your class

I think we can take that as there is nothing illegal about it.

Okay... much as I dislike and disagree with The Who, I have to give credit for that.

As to the whole thing... keep in mind, i'm not the one talking about legality. I haven't bothered to look up specific Utah child abuse laws, as I don't plan on bringing up a suit - i've got some personal stuff that needs my money more. I think it's evil, manipulative and twisted, and I think trying to pin legality as a main issue sets you up as an amoral jerk (to say the least)... but I myself do not know anything about what's legal or not in this past the false imprisonment.

Well, there's the abduction, the false imprisonment, and the physical abuse. Forcing you to live in those conditions is illegal, at least if you don't do it under cover as "treatment".

 A man who forced his kid to sleep outside (in a tent) went to prison for abuse, as did a man who forced his kid to sleep in a dog house. Then there's the obvious emotional abuse involved. If your parents felt you did something wrong and invivting the neighborhood kids over to shame you....they would be in alot of trouble.

It  appears lane that it is legal for programs to treat kids badly. I think the question is whether it is ethical?

The kids at Second Nature are not treated badly.  I bet 99% of the kids would NOT make that claim.  They do some things outside their comfort zones.  In fact, they might be mighty uncomfortable for awhile.  Yes, it is involuntary.  Tough luck.  They weren't living within the bounds of household, school and community norms, and gave up the right to stay there.  They get an opportunity to figure out what is going on with them, write a lot, talk it out and figure out what they want to do with their lives.
They are not abused- certainly not to the extent they abused family members.  For those of you who have not been in this program, you would be surprised at what these kids have done in the home and what they admit to once the first impact letters arrive.  If you think these kids are there for smoking pot once or twice or skipping school, you are quite wrong.
