Another person, banned from ST. You see...this nice lady from Alabama calling herself RX_4_Jesus posted a question about facilities:
Bless your hearts for all the work you do. I'm afraid I need some of your input. My 16 yr. old son is losing his way, and I can't deal with the drinking and lying anymore. He lost all respect for what I thought was a strong Christian foundation provided by me after his father left. He won't be able to finish high school this year due to his grades and suspensions.
I've been given suggestions by the school guidance counselor, but she does not seem to take the matter seriously enough. A deacon from church suggested some schools that provide a more rigid and monitored environment. Do you know about DeSisto school? Peninsula Village is another he mentioned, and I tend toward knowing about that one, since it is in Tennessee and close to where we live.
Thanks to all, and God bless you on the holidays.
RX was swamped with well-wishers and nice follks willing to help her for a fee. She posted this last night, rather late:
I originally came to this board looking for help for my boy, asking about a facility in knoxville Tn, P* (I'm told I cant mention it by name, why is that?) I was flooded with mail from struggling teens people offering to assist, but they all wanted money. I went to CAFETY, and Fornits (oh, dear Lord, I've never seen such filth!)
CAFETY was full of sweet people, especially the girl who's in charge. They directed me to a gentleman who's name I remember from Fornits, a Zen agent. He was polite and told me about his daughter's troubles at P*, and sent me some literature on the place, along with some other childrens's stories. They were heartbreaking, along with the stories from newspapers about diseases, un-Christian practices, and using straitjackets on the kids. The kids are assaultd regularly and put in solitary. One member of the staff enjoys taking pictures of youngsters tied up and being hurt for fun. My son needs help, but I don't see how he can get it there. I don't want him associating with the violent boys and the sex criminals I saw the newspaper articles on. The website for P+ says they don't take those kind of scary kids. They belong in prison.
Why couldn't I get this information here? You all seem so concerned, but I believe in some ways you're worse than that Fornits bunch. You never would have shown me the negative side, only charged me a fee to send my son to a place that could have hurt him terribly. I'll seek local treatment, and we'll go together.
God bless you all, but please quit focusing on selling a place like P* without warning me of what is wrong with the place. Ilove my son, he's all I have. How could I forgive myself if he were hurt in that place, or worse.
The post was gone by 5:30 a.m., and that sweet old Christian woman was banned. I knew Lon was uptight, but damn...I really don't see the need to banish the old dear for presenting her view based on information from edcons AND the other side of the fence.
It reeks of fear, Lon. Fear of losing money and being held culpable should a child be hurt at a facility you promote. No wonder no facilities can be named - the less you know, the less your ass is legally exposed. You're a disease.
