This is sad.  The poor kid never got any real help, just back-to-back quacks in wilderness and ASR.  What further could the guardian do to destroy this boy than denying him appropriate, legitimate care after having him forcibly abducted?  Sure sounds like a great way to treat a traumatized kid with "night terrors" - have someone come into his room in the middle of the night and forcibly abduct him against his will.  How sick and disgusting!

Subsequently, the utter lack of supervision (not to mention help) at ASR allowed him to walk away completely undetected.  Makes one wonder what else goes on there undetected (besides the reports admitted to by ASR of children having unprotected sex with eachother during "school").

ASR is just a nightmare scenario and a tragedy waiting to happen and the way this kid ended up there is abhorrent.  Why would anybody send a kid to a place like this?  It defies reason!

Did they finish him off by their so-called treatment or ...?

He does seem to be alive according to the family tree, which confirms the story of the tragic deaths in his family.

I wonder if anybody ever considered the possibility that this kid's brain was damaged in the accident? He got rattled physically--hard. When he was very small and his brain was vulnerable to microdamage all over because it was still developing. Remember shaken baby syndrome?

The damage from a concussion frequently doesn't show up for six months. Then it kicks in all at once.

Anybody ever considered that the kid isn't behaving better because he can't without help from a neurologist? I don't necessarily mean meds, either. There are specific therapies that can help the brain improve over damage--I don't know how well they could work, or even for sure if that was the kid's problem.

I just wonder if anybody ever asked the question, because so many childhood brain injuries just go unnoticed. Hell, so many adult head injuries go unnoticed.

I do know that sending him to a bunch of unlicensed jerks isn't "help". It sounds like his "improvement" in wilderness was getting desperate enough to learn to play the game to get out. Then when he hit ASR, he found out that learning to play the game didn't get him away from being mured up in reform school anyway.

Isn't that what ASR is? A modern-day reform school? Same deal as the old ones--kids that get sent to reform school keep getting their sentences extended until they hit 18.

At least he ran instead of killing himself. After all, he only has to stay in hiding for two years. I hope he has the sense to do just that. Fortunately, he's not a girl. All he has to do is give a false name and age and work day labor on construction sites.

Of course, if he can't swim in that Darwinian environment and both keep hidden and keep his behavior in line enough to keep working, he could end up taking it up the ass just to keep going. But then, in every sense that matters, he already was.

Poor kid.

Too bad there are still people who haven't realized that this is not the way to help a teenager with problems.

ASR, to my knowledge, doesn't itself extend kids sentences--they appear to have a finite duration.

It's just that poor Thomas had already learned that if he played the game through one reform school, then after his time was up there, he was just going to get sent to another one.

Would his sister have done that? Who knows. He obviously believed she would--goes with the despondency, desperation, and just giving up. The kid obviously felt his situation was hopeless.

Thomas Glendye, I hope that wherever you are you do find hope.

Even if his sister put the word out that if he came home she would never send him to a facility again, after being taken by escorts--a legalized kidnapping--he probably wouldn't believe her. He shouldn't anyway. Anybody who would hire strangers to physically grab a kid they were responsible for and move him someplace where he had to "trap small animals for food" has completely forfeited the trust of that kid.

Maybe I'd have a relationship with a family member like that after they had absolutely no power over me ever again--including my having made a living will that explicitly named someone other than them as my representative should I become incapacitated. Maybe. But I sure wouldn't ever trust their judgment with my welfare again.

Mr. Glendye, I hope wherever you are that you sleep safe and warm tonight.

Same reason they used to routinely yank tonsils and appendices, sterilize mentally handicapped people and even perform assembly line lobotomies. Basically, cause idiots like Dr. Phool, Oprah and Maurey going all the way back to Sally Jesse Raphael have been telling even bigger idiots for a whole generation now that this is what you do when the schoolpeople and the DARE cop tell you your kid is fucked up.
