No parent who is seriously thinking about hiring escorts to take their kid away is going to get on Fornits and ask this question..
And that is why it's such an interesting post. Program parents respond to it thinking it's real, the rest of us (and the rest of this planet) know it's a joke. I think that is the point the original anon was trying to make, at least I presume.
Take a look at this thread for instance, if it was at fornits it would be a 'joke', but to these struggling parents it is a serious discussion....

As I write this, my 17 year old son is being introduced to his 2 escorts. He is at his father's house, 2 miles away, and I am totally stressed out waiting to hear from his father that he is on his way to Montana for the WC we picked out for him.
Of course Karen is quick to respond...
You have done a good thing for your son and your family by taking this step. It is not one to be taken lightly.
I know when my son was finally in the custody of his escorts (and especially when he actually arrived at his wilderness program) my husband and I felt overwhelmingly relieved. We knew he was safe and that we just had to trust the research we had done and trust the program we chose. We did a lot of research, reading and therapy ourselves during this time. HOWEVER, we also took the opportunity to get our life back, focus on our other child and align the family so that it wasn't a single focus on our son, who had demanded every second of our attention just to keep him alive and out of jail. Keep us posted- we are here to help.

It would seem looking through the lense of a program parent even the most absurd (and laughable) idea is fair game. I just wonder if they realize the rest of the world looks at them like this - :-? :roll: :cry: .
