"I happen to know it wasn't the mother's choice - so why don't you go bark up some other tree? "
Life happens and parents as well a children endure many unexpected circumstances.
This Program Parent lost the other Parent of her children when her Prog son was young. Call it whining or crying, fact is if this parent hadn't Done what it takes long before her darling son got in trouble, he would have been incarcerated in juevy. (Are you aware of what is going on in the Hall of Juevenile justice these days?!)
In this parent's heart the belief was the child was being spared a record and poor treatment. Never was there a thought that it would all lead to this.
Because you were there and you know so much about the program doesn't mean anything to a parent who is searching for answers to save the child that is headed down a path to jail or possibly worse knows the first thing about what is going on, whether its on the internet or not!! And, if she had the same experience I had, noone ever bothers to call back, or they say, I don't know what to tell you! Isabelle actually spent time talking to me. She knew exactly what I was telling her as she had written the report about other stuff that had happened at that school.
Through your cruelty you fault this single parent. There is a story to all five programs. At least she kept trying to find one that would do what they promised. She shelled out the bucks every month so her darling boy wouldn't go to jail. A single parent who has the guts to go the distance.
Everyone is involved in this institutionalized mess. It is time to clean it up! It is a disgrace that parents are lied to!!! It is a disgrace that there is such fighting amongst the people who profess to help. It is time to pull together and get some changes made. There are too many residential treatment schools to get them shut down. There needs to be regulations , inspections and trained/qualified staff.
Bickering and name calling is not going to bring about the changes that are needed to keep other children from experiencing what you survivors have experienced. We can't change yesterday but today we can dosomething to change tomorrow.
I defend Isabell too! She has been there everyday since I learned of the crap going on at WWASP!
