I would probably portray myself as somewhere between insane and under-informed. I have received tons of beneficial feedback here. Some of it was blatantly hostile, some of it valiantly insightful, the best of it came via PM. It has helped me in making a decision to bring my son home as soon as possible. My main concern is to keep him alive and safe, which is impossible in a volatile environment that can and does escalate at any given moment. My son’s defiant disposition and the fact that he blew the whistle on staff abuses make him a likely target for retribution. I’m not certain what my next step will be, but I will feel better with him away from YBGR.

Watch the troll tell us what we want to hear! Watch, watch! They usually don't get this desperate, folks... at least not on page two. Looks like I nailed it.

Now your ass is parked on this forum like a bad case of rectal cancer. Did somebody from Villa Santa Gofuckyourself or Montcalm Boys Hellhole send you some unpleasant email after finding themselves on Fornits in a negative light? Oooooh, that had to hurt. And we're going to go after them now, just because you pissed us off.

You lose, Lon. Seriously, it's really fucking obvious. Real people simply do not type that way, and what appears to you to be a redoubled effort at reality appears to the rest of us as just more gobbly programmie speak.

I’ve utilized prominent psychiatrists, psychologists, school counselors, church ministers, family therapy, sports therapy, parenting classes, mentors, youth groups, community wrap-around programs and more. There is the larger issue of parental responsibility and my son’s precarious impact on his siblings and our community. It is truly an impossible choice with too much at stake. My hope is that my son will, with attentive treatment, return to our home and community successfully.


I'm laughing, but it's actually kind of disturbing that this comes off to you like a realistic approximation of a parent.

Get off the Internet. Delete your site, send apologies to all the kids you helped torture in your "safer" programs, and finish things up by sticking a lit pipe bomb in your mouth.

 California Boy Abused at Yellowstone Boys and Girls: Montana  
California Youth Claims Abuse in Montana Treatment Center
A 14-year old child reports being secluded and restrained in his own blood at Montana Residential Treatment Center, but they won't give his parents or attorneys access.

Salem-News.com

October 23, 2007

(BILLINGS, Mt.) - Jeremy Ellis, a 14 year old Laguna Beach special education student who is currently placed at Yellowstone Boys and Girls Ranch, a therapeutic treatment center located in Billings, Montana, claims the facility abused him.

In a letter to his attorney, Leejanice Toback, Jeremy described how doors were slammed into his face and he has been put in seclusion or restraints, lying in a puddle of his own blood.

In the letter, Jeremy described how a staff member slammed doors in his face twice, causing his face to bleed and how he has regularly been put in seclusion and/or restraints for over one hour, denied medical attention and given nothing to stop the bleeding. In addition Jeremy reports how he has been punched and kicked by a particular male staff member. He has told his mother that his therapist regularly refers to him and other children as "morons."

Jeremy was referred to Yellowstone Boys and Girls Ranch by Orange County Mental Health Services. Jeremy's attorney, Leejanice Toback, originally requested a placement at Villa Santa Maria in New Mexico, but Orange County Mental Health Services refused, stating that the facility was not on their agency's approved list.

After receiving Jeremy's letter, Ms. Toback phoned Yellowstone's C.E.O. Glenn McFarlane. He is alleged to have refused Ms. Toback's demand to report the incident to the Montana Child Protective Services Agency. Mr. McFarlane told Ms. Toback that Yellowstone would do its own investigation.

Ms. Tobak says McFarlane stated that, "if we reported all these complaints, we would spend all our time reporting incidents to Child Protective Services." Dave Schwarm, the Quality Improvement Specialist from Yellowstone confirmed to Ms. Toback she says, that in the last month there were at least three child abuse allegations made. She says he stated that according to his records, Jeremy is self abusing. When asked about evidence to support that claim, he hung up.

Written requests to the facility to cease abuse of the child have gone unheeded, attorneys and family members say. As of October 8th, Yellowstone reported to Jeremy's mother that he was again put in restraints, this time for touching his nose.

Jeremy's parents and his attorney are trying to relocate him to a safe and secure treatment center, but they have been unsuccessful due to the records generated by Yellowstone painting Jeremy as uncontrollable and self injurious and the lack of cooperation by Orange County Heath Care Agency, who are insisting that Jeremy be transferred to a particular approved facility which has ten locked seclusion rooms for their one hundred twelve residents.

"Parents place their special education children in these facilities for the purpose of treatment and structure, not so that they can be brutalized. We treat prisoners better than this", Ms. Toback stated.

"The full color brochures and videos that these places prepare don't have pictures of kids secluded in stark rooms with no pictures, toys, books or music or restrained by adults three times their size."

A recent Cornell University study found that over a ten year period there were forty-five deaths of children and adolescents in residential facilities due to the use of restraints.

Jeremy's family is considering all options, including legal actionagainst Yellowstone Boys and Girls Ranch.

In the weird case that this is a real person, just really... um. messed up and/or stupid, or REAL parents are lurking - STOP SENDING YOUR KID TO INSTITUTIONS THAT CLAIM TO DO YOUR JOB FOR YOU.

DO IT YOURSELF.

LOVE,

THE PLANET EARTH.

Okay, I’m brand new here. I was looking for some insight concerning my child. Clearly, I wasn’t prepared for the onslaught of vicious responses to my posting. One question, how is this forum supposed to be effectual if you attack and alienate anyone who posts? There seems to be a modest number of “regularsâ€
