Hmmm...I remember taking my car to a transmission "specialist" who kept claiming he had the problem fixed, but the car still ran like shit. I took it twice more, still ran like shit. Turns out the guy didn't know jack about the problems, and I had to sue him. At least my car didn't die

Ha,Ha, but the point is you had the foresight to know you couldnt fix it so you took it to someone else who you thought could. So does that make you a bad person? No. In hind sight, yes, you made a poor choice in who you took it to, maybe you should have done more research. But the car needed work .... something needed to be done that you couldnt do... thats what can be accomplished here!!!! Expose the bad transmission people and pass along the ones that were successful !!!

Sometimes it is nice to take a different view on things. Lets say you are a full time mechanic and your son/Daughter is going for a long trip and has a 1991 Ford Taurus. Being a loving father you spend a few nights maybe putting on new brakes, tuning it up, maybe upgrading the tires and getting the alignment dead nuts and the car is mint. But as you drive it around you hear a clicking sound coming from the transmission. Transmissions are not your expertise so you have a choice
1) Let it go and hope for the best or
2) Ship it off to someone who knows more about transmissions and have it looked at.
Question: If you chose option # 2 does this make you a lousy mechanic and a bad parent? or just a bad mechanic Hmmmm...... makes one think

Wait.... in this example you would be sending the car off to someone qualified to fix it, not so in a "program" that hires unqualified staff and intakes kids with problems they can't fix....

That really doesn't help when you are dealing with kids, a car is a car. You can always get another car. Your car won't hate you for making bad decisions or totaling it. Using a car as an example is just another thing that you can't compare to your flesh and blood. Please get your head out of your ass before posting next.

Cindy is back! Let's reflect on old times and once again tear apart your stupid analogy.
After having noticed the transmission problem you state to then be faced with two choices, either ignore the problem or send it to someone who knows more about the issue than you and try and get it repaired.
This makes sense and the wise and logical course of action would be of course to send it to someone who knows more on the matter than you do.
Here's the thing though Cindy:
You want to make sure the guy you're sending your daughters car to knows what the hell he is doing. You analogy would seem to suggest that we all advocate ignoring kids who have problems. You won't find many who take that position on here Cindy, of course you're an idiot and would never acknowledge that.
Sticking with your analogy how would you feel if after sending your daughters car to this guy who claimed to be a professional you discovered that he had done no work whatsoever on the vehicle? Or perhaps he made the situation worse? Maybe he even damaged the car and made it unsafe for your daughter? He won't give you your money back and he says he'll sue you to no end if you try and tell people the truth about him. What would your response be Cindy?
That's where we're at, the mechanic did shoddy work yet wants to be credited with having fixed the car.
