Sembler. Btw, all that about the CIA and Nicaragua is old, old news.

Anonymous:
yup. it's old news but reagan's war on drugs goes on as if it never happened. it's one of those "inconvenient truths" that the govt just loves to ignore.

Froderik:
Maybe some of them do, but by now it's leaked to the point of being pretty much common knowledge.

I see we have more blathering for the "objective, unbiased" idoits of fornits.  First I want to thank the guest who posted the lenghty dissertation on the lawsuit and the nobility of BM.  It is in fact one huge BM that we are talking about here.  I was under the impression from previous posts that this was not about money; that this crusade was about righting wrongs, not vendictative persecutions.  Of course these were the words of the "unbiased".  Anyone can see that the motivation of this site to destroy and industry.  You say that this industry's time has passed.  I believe that it is more important today that in years past.  If you have indeed had dealings with the troubled youth industry then you must have seen the need for it at the time.  Had you any other options you would have, and probably did, investigate.  The youth that enter these programs have attended public schools, boarding schools, seen psychologists and been prescribed medications by psychiatrists.  Nothing seemed to work.  In many cases the parent's were unable or unwilling to parent.  Many were locked into petty divorce arguments, their own drug or alcohol use, or suffering from their own mental disorders and their children were not their primary concern.

Then they enter a program, and what do the expect?  A child who has been unable to successfully thrive at home, at school or within the community to some how, overnight, change to a productive member of society.  Then they have the nerve to blame the school.  I know for a fact that at least one of the major contributors to this baseless lawsuit begged HLA to keep their child until graduation because the behavior of their child had been so atrocious no other school would admit them.  The student graduates from HLA and this is the thanks the school gets.  The fact of the matter is that your angry, bitter, vindicative people and it is those characteristics that contributed to your childrens misbehaviors.  It's obvious that you will never take responsiblity for this however and someone else must be to blame.  This sounds very much like an adolescent doesn't it!  Now do you see why programs will always be in demand?

So now I ask you, what were you promised that you didn't recieve?

the problem is the mentality that the entire industry feeds off of. psychiatry/therapy is just a religion which has been convoluted into a science. the brand of therapy you, along with the rest of the industry practices is almost borderline cult-like. back in the day, if you were screwed up you were possed by demons. now, you have a disorder. the thing most people dont see is that our science IS NOT ADVANCED. we dont know anything, in the grand perspective of things, about the way our brain works, or the universe for that matter. attempting to treat this is futile. the whole mentality of "feel sick, take a pill" is paralel to "my kid's acting up, lets send him away" by providing the pill, the treatment, you are continuing the vicious circle.

what promises did you make? none. i know that. but, what did you do? you told parents that you "work on issues, help people take responsibility for their actions, work on drug dependancy issues, self esteem problems, etc.". there is no exuse for taking $6000/mo for doing something in a dogmatic way to a child, which is supposedly "proven" to help (*HLA has [or had]) success rate statistics on their site, which they swore by, which were a total fabrication*).

what you are doing is not any more or less barbaric and unproven than the electroshock therapy of the last century. you can ask any torture survivore, any POW, prisoner, political refugee, and they will tell you the physical pain which can be inflicted is no where near as painfull as mental torture.  that's what you do- torture kids into nice, preppy, obedient kids  ready to go to a small college or boarding school, where they will get good grades and wont do drugs.


stick your fucking head out of your ass. it's 2007, there is no place for social ignorance in this day and age.
