what choo talking BOUT
making you all look BAD
making WHAT look BAD
an abusive program WAS BAD
if these wino boys thought the program was good for them because it was better than their wino lifesyle pre-program - so be it'
please don't forget though that MOST survivors were NOT wino's, druggies, etc. MANY many children went into these programs because their parents simply didn't want to bother with their teen-age behavior. the parents themselves if they had half a brain would remember that they themselves had an alcoholic binge or too, maybe they even broke curfew or experiemented with sex. MOST teenagers DO.....
why was if different............. would these same parents have put themselves into a program that tortured their bodies, because they wanted HELP.
my point is just that a couple wino's is NOT an indication that all children were there because they needed to be there. did the wino's need to be there? i don't know the answer, BUT if these men now as adults would come on this forum and explain how it changed their lives and they are now WINE-FREE wino's...... you have just made a believer out of me that the program was good for something.
otherwise i will continue to accept as FACT, that the program was good for nothing, except for advancing the perversions of the staff members and leaders who enjoyed abusing children..... and that's NOT GOOD, it's evil, it's wrong.......
and feel free survivors to back me up, cuz it ain't the survivors that should ever look bad.... haven't we all agreed that it's program that's BAD.
Well then,these "wino" kids were used to scare your parents in to putting you in to the program.
"Look at these troubled kids.If you dont put your kid in now,he will end up like "Mr Wino" here,hugging the gutter"
And Mr Wino says "Yes Mrs Johnson,I started out just drinking beer like your son,but not long after I became a 13 year old teenage commode hugging drunk,but Miss Pete rescued me from that degenerate lifestyle."
There WERE certainly KIDS in the program that were really messed up,on hard drugs.You can thank them also for helping Miss Pete to lure parents in to putting their "clean" kids in the program.
OTHER CHINDREN'S drug use got clean kids in to the program,and most likely,some of these druggie kids participated in abusing the clean kids.
Personally,I hope some of those degenerate drugged out assholes never forget the abuse they received in the program.
They were assholes before they entered the program.
Their degenerate druggie lifestyles effected all of our freedom to smoke a little joint every once and a while.
Dont blame it all on the staff,the "kids" and their derranged host families abused you too,probably more than any staff member did,and if you had any BALLS,you would track them down today and crack their skulls for abusing you.
