The Who,
I wish you would not take a great rock band's name in vain.
No never would, TheWho, is one of my favorites. Saw them live 3 times. The best was their Quadraphenia tour.
Now on to other subjects. I was in a JCAHO facility and it meant squat! I saw more abuse there than I did in all of my years of social work, so put that wherever you care to preferably an orifice many of us have had searched at our "so-called" accredited facilities.
Accreditation doesn’t protect kids from everything. Look at the visibility, all the feedback systems checks and balances the our public school system has and our kids are still dying, getting raped by teachers and shot in the class room etc. Licensing and accreditation brings it up a level but cannot insure your kid is 100% safe.
Don't tell me I deserved to get searched either.
I don’t even know who you are, how could I?
I was put there for something not even in the DSM (look that up if you don't know what it is).
You are not alone, many kids are. I don’t think that TBS’s or wilderness are confined to having a diagnoses from the DSM. I may be wrong, though
Looking at a JCAHO report is less informative than the information you can find when placing your loved one in a nursing home. So don't try to convince anyone that JCAHO accreditation means abuse won't happen.
Like I mentioned above. There isn’t anyway that abuse can be prevented 100% that I am aware of, in the public or private sector or even in church!!
The kids don't bring this on.
I am sure they play a part.
I saw abuse happen for non-violent actions that did not warrant restraints for 30 days, at which point your muscles have atrophied and you cannot walk, to speak of the bladder infection you have from holding in urine too long so you don't have to use a bedpan.
This is why we need to have a system put in place which provides closer oversight then what we presently have.
You are a total A__.
Wow, all I did was provide a list of some licensed and accredited facilities. Cant imagine what you would think if I provided a list of unlicensed programs!!
