ANd all the other parents who would rather help their kids than see them end up in jail or dead. Yes, we should all be freedom loving people who allow our kids to run wild, end up in jail, get killed. I would rather have my child in isolation in a WAASP school than in prison any day or living in the streets. At least she will not get AIDS at the school, not get pregnant, not get dead. The risk goes down not up in the schools.
Maybe we need statistics of jail vs. the schools. Have a study. The people that you guys convince to take their kids out when their kids die on the street the parents can keep track. Then we can keep track of the kids in the program. I bet you anything more are saved because they are not in a position to harm themselves by virtue of being locked away in a school.
Have you seen what happens in jails...people do not like getting locked up there and they do. They have no choice, they can not control when they get out. Do those people get PTSD from being there? Do they get PTSD from being in a suicide cell with no clothes and only a small blanket, no. THEY GET OVER IT just as do the kids who are sent to the schools. They suck it up, do what they have to, and then get out and do well. Only if they are sissy ass losers do they perpetuate the whole "I am a victim" forever and let theri experience at the school ruin their lives.
As the program says these kids are master manipulators...they have you convinced! The ones who excel get out and do great things. The ones who get pulled play the blame game forever it seems.
Of course if they have addiction that will also have to be addressed bu a 12 step program and then they can maintain sobriety!
A little therapy never hurt anyone.
Example: Britney Spears. She should be locked up to protect herself and then forced to attend a 12 step program. Otherwise she will never get better.
I am not sure what your agenda is here on this site..
