If they didn't love their son they would have just thrown his ass out to make the mess of his life that he was determined to do if left to stay of the destructive path he was on! Do you NOT see all the drug addicts and men spending their whole lives in prison for things they did when they were young adults and high on drugs! Or what about the drugs overdoses and gangs. Come on people! If you were in a situation that the Bacon's were in you would soon find out that you either find a decent place to keep your son off the streets and away from drugs, or you watch him kill himself. The problem is, these PLACES are the only things available for kids under the age of 18! I know all too well.
No wonder people won't listen to you. You come off as haters and complete idiots.
You are going go back and forth with your ridiculous arguments like high school students and you look ridiculous!
Well, to be accurate, the American govt. took away your son's rights by not enforcing the rights of youth. Were they to start enforcing them, YOU would be punished for YOUR violation of his rights by having him abducted and imprisoned, No one is "kept safe" by being stored in a privately funded prison.
You're a coward. Hide behind your guest name and attack other people ..that's really accomplishing a lot isn't it?
Sit there and hate all you want ..you look like a damn fool.
Darling... darling, darling.
Where does your hate for US come from?... regardless if we have decided to argue on a site that was created for US to do as we please, why do you feel it necessary to bash on Survivors on OUR forum? It sounds much more to me, (and this is reference from the first paragraph I quoted you) that you are simply threatened and afraid of youth and therefore find it necessary to come here to insult us.
You may be in one way or another against the program, but from the looks of your attitude you are still the kind of parent that is the root of the reason these programs exist, and it isn't because you are out-rightly abusive, its your mind state, your illogical fear of youth and your control issues. You may love your son, but the odds are you HATE his adolescence. That hate is what drove you here to insult us, and in doing so you have only become the troll of which you claim to look down upon. WE don't come here to argue, we come here to share our ideas, opinions and information, its only people like you with an axe to grind that come here to fight. Fornits is an awesome site... its FREE in the real sense of the word. No ones going to censor you, come after you or abuse you because you share your opinion and Im sorry if the freedom that us young adults enjoy rubs you the wrong way but I believe its something we deserve after having been locked up and tortured for years upon years.
Bellavita, I'm glad to have a hot headed mom like you here, you help make things interesting because we SO enjoy proving you wrong. The sad part is that its all too easy because all you need is a healthy dose of reality and a little bit of logical thinking to do so. I honestly believe you should take yourself out of the "controlling mother" role for a second and realize this one statement will always be true, in every single situation.
No one is "kept safe" by being stored in a privately funded prison.
Then maybe you will realize that our opinions about program parents come from a very logical place. You should also know that most of us, have had FAR MORE experience than you with these programs, and the kids and parents involved to have developed a pretty well proved theory. I'm sorry to discount your 4 day horrifying experience and your "oh so unique" adolescent experience with your son, but weve seen it too many times before to just take your word for it. You have simply been scammed by the media, the media that tells you to be afraid of drugs and teen criminals when the fact is that only one in hundreds of thousands of teens is actually a threat to themselves or their families, and those kids, deserve to GET THEMSELVES locked up. The men who are in prison now, earned their way there by either doing what it took to survive in their neighborhood or they are just sickos that need to be locked up in order to keep US safe. You cant save your son from prison if hes on his way, either he needs to be there or he will mature on his own before he will EVER get that far. The fear you have that his life was "heading down that path" is only a figment of your delusional thinking, it has nothing to do with his ability to survive and mature. By sending him to a program you are essentially expressing your distrust for his intelligence and ability to learn and grow into a man on his own. Men don't need their mommy's to help them survive, they need to learn on their own or they will grow up to be soft and unable to fend for themselves in this cut throat world. Think hes bad now... keep floating his boat and watch he will still be at home at 35. You are doing way more psychological damage by trying to rescue him from himself than the real world ever could.
However, best wishes to you and yours, for their sake I hope you finally get it.
