Says there are a "few good programs" but can't even name one.
If you bring up facts, he avoids them.
If you point out where he was mistaken, or lied outright, he ignores it and tries to patronize you and apologize for you to everyone else whose out to hear what they want to hear.
He somehow thinks protection from danger, loss of the priviladge of a car you dont own, and the kind of isolation a BM program uses are one and the same.
Basically, hes a troll, or a programmie, but the difference is indistinguishable, and moot at this point.

I thought you were against using ad hominems. Anyway Niles, glad to see you are back. I don?t think it is appropriate to suggest programs to someone who just found out their child was carrying Coke to school, there are so many other avenues to take first as an intervention and if you had bothered to read the rest of the thread you would have found out it was ?Baking soda?, no drugs were involved.
Of course this leads to other issues that potentially need to be addressed. But if we were to start mentioning programs to this parent it would have detracted from a more natural course for the child and family, which as we have seen is unfolding as it should. They seem to need a little guidance and support, nothing drastic, in my opinion.
