without program parents there is no program

Man...I was the "apathetic" one...so were most of my Gen X peers. My 20th high school reunion was canceled due to lack of interest. Seriously, no one cared.
Back to the topic, desperate parents get taken in by flashy websites and promises of "fixing" the kids in some lovely woodland setting, or a tropical paradise like TB. Layne Brown's mom was taken in by TB because she wanted the best for her son. It's really wrenching to watch her talk about what happened to Layne in the TB documentary.
Desperate parents are victims of programs. Eventually a lot of them realize what's going on and get their kids out, but they suffer from guilt feelings for the abuse their kids went through. I give them props for realizing the wrong and doing the right thing. No guilt in admitting you made a mistake. The parents who realize what's going on and allow it to continue - they're the ones who should feel the guilt, but don't. We've seen ample evidence of the admit-no-fault parent around here...

it seems a little simple to point the finger of blame directly at ALL parents. There is no doubt that some parents who send kids, particularly younger kids are callous or hysterical.
But i can also see how parents who have an unruly older kid must be terrified if they live somewhere with Zero tolerance laws. if six year olds can be booked and overall good kids suspended for being the class clown, then the parent of a kid who is realistically running a somewhat wild has a lot to fear. Locking the kid up before the authorities do is not the answer but vilifying parents who are delaing with this is not faIr either. Perhaps if the tide turned on Zero tolerance laws a bit the industry would suffer a real blow because good families would be able to relax a little. Afterall it seems that the industry has grown with the tough on crime movement.
