Wow, that's really funny, but re-read "What a Voice is For" please before you come in here and try (poorly) to scare people out of talking. Sorry, there's no law about telling your own experiences and things that you've witnessed. However you can loose your license if you use names of clients or details of their experiences that can be traced to them...But..Oh...You have to actually be licensed in the first place in order for that to happen.

Joshua, what gave you the idea that I was going to discuss and name others experiences.  My own experiences are enough evidence for me.  I am sick of being threatened on this board.  Give me a break.  I am not an idiot, I know what my legal rights are.  But gee thanks for "looking out for me" though. :wave:

"I am extremely grateful to AARC and what it means to my family.  We were at our wit's end when we came to AARC and we now have some hope in our lives.  There is no doubt my son would be dead if it were not for AARC"

Could Jessica and Velvet respond?

This is a typical response from any AARC/Synanon/Straight/Kids/Safe parent which I have heard many, many times regardless of the childs behaviors or seriousness of addiction (if addicted at all). In order for clients to progress they have to "admit powerlesseness" by confessing that they would be deadinsaneorinjail without the program - AARC's version of the program. Thus anyone who can't sign themselves out of AARC would be dead without AARC.

Also if you took a poll of every Synanon/Straight/Kids/AARC/Safe parent you would  probably find that less than %10 are willing to admit that it was at least a mistake to put their children through it, even if their child won in court for charges of abuse. It's all about how people choose to live with themselves.

You may not have any doubt about that. But most sane people can easily look around and see that most kids survive their rebellious youth just fine. Over-controling parents are not always a big part of their lives afterward. But that's your problem, not your kids'.
