Seems to me carey has a little to much time on her hands and is the only one posting comments that dont make sense. Ryan is doing good and us victims support him 100%. Ryan is a strong kid and his story is very creditable. Ryan is making a huge difference and the movie coldwater is something we have all been waiting for. Carey so what if he gets the spotlight, hes who deserves it and hes the one making the differnece!
Knowbody cares that your jelous and you realy are making a fool out of yourself by not supporting him and the rest of the victims.
Carey, you have made close to 100 posts now, get a life.
Your making a clown out of yourself on your own message board, know wondor Ryan is the leader and someone obvious is the follower.
Think about it, your negative comments arent helping save teens. The victims are exposing the truth while knowbody understands you.
Look at how much Ryan has done and look at what you have done, get real with yourself and realize Coldwater is a movie these teens need.
Theres thousands of victims out there, and your not even one of them. You have never experienced what these teens have and yet you dis-credit them?
As if its the kids fault he was abused?
You would have to support abuse if you didn't support Coldwater....

To the WWASP person who wonders why no graduates ever think was is abusive:
1) Some do. Look at the testimony in the Gini Farmer case. At least one of the kids was a graduate. There are also posts on this board which are negative from graduates.
2) You *cannot* graduate until you say WWASP was good for you and you deserved it. Kids aren't stupid-- they want to get out and will do what they have to do to get out. Once they get out, they want to stay out. So, why would it be surprising that they say what they are supposed to say if they have been terrorized and fear going back?

Wow, seems I have touched a nerve with Anon. He/she is attacking me personally. Why? Because I have expressed a genuine concern about a FICTIONAL move and how it will be percieved.
I have never attacked Ryan personally. I have only brought to the attention of others how I see that he, the movie and the media have come together at the time that they did. Personnally , I have lost faith in Ryan...but then I saw who he had been associated with in the past.
All I have done is to express my opinion.
Hey, my life is writing, your's anon must be reading. I guess I am someone who takes action while you are someone who sits on the wayside and merely complains about the actions that others take.

Yeeesh! Find a new hot topic already. This fight is war. Like any other war, you should all be guided by the maxim : "My enemy's enemy is my friend" So lets recognize that by rights, we are all friends.
Of course no one can make a "fact" based movie without an infinite amount legal releases and waivers allowing rights to use names, likenesses, accounts and depictions, etc. If someone is going to look bad -- factual though it may be-- you won't get a signed release, period. Without the legal releases, you can't marshall the capital to get the picture made; and if it is made, you can't get the distributors and operators to actually promote it and show it, for risk of litigation.
If a tree falls in the forest and no person is there to hear it, then the only remaining avenue to publicize the cause will be postings (like this one) on obscure internet bulletin boards. (Lets face it, reading about "trees falling in the forest" doesn't carry a fraction of the emotional impact of actually seeing, hearing and experiencing it)
Obviously, even a "fictionalized" account THAT ACTUALLY GETS SEEN will do more to raise mass consciousness of this issue than working in the background. The key to shutting down the behavior mod schools is to increase the level of public approbation -- if sending one's kid to such a place becomes seen as "child abuse by proxy" perhaps the supply of gullible parents will be curtailed. Choke off the supply of inmates and you choke off the supply of cash.
