The past is ten minutes ago!! it is also 30 years ago. Many of the stories occurred 30 years ago and there have been monumental changes done, in some areas, since then... other areas have changed very little.
It is important to try to distinguish between what is happening today and what is obsolete and just stories of the past when trying to determine if a TBS is the right approach for your child.
I know many parents here get confused with reading some of the stories and then later come to realize they don’t reflect today’s school practices/procedures and is basically obsolete information intended to dissuade or paint the industry all one color.
...
Part 1: You tend to want to make the "Past" some sort of referrence for your pro-program propaganda to sway the parents to believe your words are like that of Jesus Christ.... Nothing but truth.... And this is almost impossible when you can't even admit that abuse still happens in programs today which there are articles out there, but buried so deep by Ed-Cons such as yourself that it makes it almost impossible for parents to find the truth.
Part 2: Yes.... Many stories are from people who were in a program 20+ years ago, however we are the pioneers for getting the truth out and letting people know what it is really like. For many of us it has taken years and the movement of the Internet for us to unite against the abusers, and well come to grips with the fact we did not deserve the abuse we endured.
Part 3: Again the abuse still happens today. Unfortunately the kids do not know about Fornits as the programs are not going to tell them about it. Also it may take years for the manipulative brainwashing to wear off, so therefore they have this little program-bot that walks out speaking cult-speak and unable to return to the normality they once knew before entering the walls of their personal Dachau. Once a child is put in one of these places, they die inside and come out something else.
Part 4: When parents come here, yes they get confused when a Program Sales Person is here doing a little song and dance trying to disrupt the truth about our experiences in hopes that you can persuade them in your direction. We did not choose to be sent of and be abused, however that is what happened and many of us still have not recovered emotionally and the sad part is many of us never will.
You want us to accept your program pushing, however you do not want to accept what we went through and do not want us to let parents know and allow them to hear our truths.
Abuse is happening in programs all around at this very minute. Look at the facts.
