Interesting fact about Hunter Thompson:
Death
Thompson died at his self-described "fortified compound" in Woody Creek, Colorado, at 5:42 p.m. on February 20, 2005, from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. He was 67 years old.
Thompson's son (Juan), daughter-in-law (Jennifer Winkel Thompson) and grandson (Will Thompson) were visiting for the weekend at the time of his suicide. Will and Jennifer were in the adjacent room when they heard the gunshot, though the gunshot was mistaken for a book falling, and so they continued with their activities for a few minutes before checking on him: "Winkel Thompson continued playing 20 questions with Will, Juan Thompson continued taking a photo." Thompson was sitting at his typewriter with the word "counselor" written in the center of the page.

Oh the irony....

Seriously though, HT, your assumption is inaccurate. You can't lump everyone on Fornits into one neat package. It's a lame argument.
It matters not if parents values are in line with the posters here, or the webmaster's. It is important to know if the program's values are in line with their own.
The questions parents need to be asking are:
*Are they licensed and monitored by the state? Any violations or complaints filed?
*What kinds of methods and techniques are employed?
*Are they evidence-based or experimental?

*How many assaults, rapes, suicide attempts, deaths?
There are a number of others, but that's good for starters.
Got a kid there? What inquiries did you make in order to determine if HLA was in line with your values?
