Okay let's get back to the topic.
Apparently, Isabelle Zehnder violated the terms of her own disclaimer when she referred someone (Patty) who she believed to be a parent to PURE
You people are having a tough time getting it, I can see. So let's try this one more time.
Isabelle does not refer to programs. Only under extreme cases has Isabelle provided parents a number to call for program options and only once, that she is aware of, has a child been placed into a program under these circumstances. Isabelle did not charge a referral fee and received no money for referring this child.
What the hell do you people think she should do when she gets calls from parents and there's no other choice left? Do you live in the real world? Have you listened, judges are sending kids to programs and sometimes there is no option and it is not up ot parents. What, send the parent off to fend for themselves on the internet? Or maybe guide the to some ed con? Come on - get real.
Let me ask you this - what would you tell a parent who said hey, my kid is in TB and I just found out it's abuisve. I was sold a wonderful program and sent him there a few months ago. I'm not a person who uses the computer much so I didn't know there was anything wrong. I got worried when they started cutting off communication and telling me my kid was a liar. I know that he's not. He might have done some bad shit but a liar, no. Not my son.
So I knew what I had to do, I had to go get him out of there. But I couldn't because a judge had ordered him to be there. I called my attroney and had him set another court date. The judge agreed that if we found another program that we felt was safer for our son he woudl order him back to this country.
Now - what do you do with this parent? The kid has to go to a program and there is nothing in your area, you've got 48 hours to make a decision. Well, when parents call Isabelle and she has to deal with these things she has to use her best judgment.
Hell, at least she's had the guts to be out there helping families. Maybe you should all send her your phone number so she could refer these poeple to you and you could guide them. Tell me, where would you send these poeple? To the local therapist? Wrong answer - judge won't buy that. these judges are brutal these days and you're lucky to get one to change their original ruling. THink about it.
