Has anyone else on this forum had stark reactions when some kid says he's going away to camp for two weeks, until you have real confirmation that it really is just some ordinary summer camp?

most of the time i dont react if the kid says 1-2 weeks.... the kids who are the ones who are in trouble are the ones who DONT know they're being sent away to a facility. 9 times out of 10 in most domestic situations, the child has no idea they are about to be ousted from their environments and put through some form of hell. Chances are good if a kid mentions camp, it brings alot of good memories (boy and girlscouts, regular day camps, overnight camps) especially during the summer months. unfortunately those kids who get sent away in the 9 times out of 10 cases (you wont hear about it until its too late.) Additionally that 1 out of 10 was sent there by the state, in which the child knows the consequence and doesnt have time to weasel out of it as they likely transport the child right from the courthouse to the facility they were sentenced to.

There have been tales of parents tricking their kids by lying to them about their destination.

But he has friends whom I can interrogate. If the kid doesn't come back in two weeks, I'm going to hunt his parents down.

That title should say "forgotten"...

Anyway, when I was 15, my dad belonged for a brief time to the John Birch Society....for those of you that dont know, its a staunchly anti-communist group....they had a summer camp, and they told me they were going to send me to it for a few weeks because my dad went to the joslin diabetic summer camp for years and thought I might have fun...but what the promo film that I saw looked like..it looked like a cult....sorta....and I wasnt having any part of it....so right before I was to go, I got more and more nervous about it and the night before I started throwing up, partially on purpose but my stomach really was in knots..it was so bad they decided I was really sick and didnt send me, and that was the end of that.

I ALWAYS feared being 'sent away' or abandoned/betrayed as a kid.

Now I know why I should have been... but my own parents would never have done such a thing. My mom's too clingy and my dad too tight with money.

Still, it makes me wonder.

Rick ross has some things to say about it. Check out the FAQ page. it mentioned that kids who dont want to go to something as "educational" as this should be made go anyway. It reminds me of a German Biology teacher i once had who was in charge of the ecosystems camp. She would always preface it with You Vill Enjoy yourself gels! it was a brief glimpse of Hitler youth.
I wonder if their back to school what i did during the summer essay includes looking for Reds under the Bed!

The U.N. is bumbling, corrupt, incapable of anything worthwhile. Rwanda. Kosovo is still a mess and Clark, Clinton and Albright should be tried as war criminals. What will U.N. backing do? Have you heard about Christian churches being torched in the former Yugoslavia by Muslims? Wait, the U.N. was there, but the U.N. troops ran away, now you have a big mess. Where is the liberal outcry over that? Probably none becuase the left loves dead Christians, I know the U.N. does. Kick the U.N. the fuck out of New York, get some taxes from that property for the City coffers; that would be something worthwhile.

Don't think that it's Rick Ross that says it; FAQ page is from the Youth Meets Truth website.

Oh Please.....and I suppose you think Bush is an angel...HA! Bush is the biggest criminal that ever set foot in the oval office....yea I said it.....he is a C R I M I N A L...........so are his "handlers".....this is by far the worst administration this country has ever seen.....and I will celebrate the day they leave office....the day can't come soon enough......I don't know what is wrong with the democrats though...how much more obvious can it be?

Clinton is a war criminal. He bombed Serbia in the final phase of the war to destroy Yugoslavia. He launched cruise missiles at Sudan to take the heat off at home, and he continued the policy of bombing Iraq every few days that started in 1991 and goes on still today. He oversaw the continuation of the destruction of Columbia by arming the paramilitaries and the government forces. He took his kick at Haiti, as just about everyone who rules the US does. Bush's handlers are the same people who gave you Clinton. Hopefully, at some point, Americans will realize that the Democrats are just one side of the same coin.
It's time to grow up. If you have an economy dominated by speculators who have massive military power to back up their schemes, you will get Nanking, and Danzig, and Warsaw, and Dresden, and Dien Bien Phu and Mi Lai, and the Iranian Revolution, and the World Trade Center destruction, and Baghdad.
