Darrington Academy's Thanksgiving Dinner

[Anonymous]

Doesn't look like food to me. It looks like blended hog slop. It looks like cruel and unusual punishment. My stomach rolled over just looking at the pictures. I can't imagine eating it.  And this was for Thanksgiving. That is just monstrous.

at some wasp programs on the holidays they let the kids eat as much as they want to. the kids revel in this freedom for a day and eat way more than they should, and then throw it all back up. its not because the food is so disgusting it makes you throw up really its because they eat too much. thats why the trash cans are ready for them to use because a lot of them throw up after eating several plates full. and if you are making fun of the food you are making fun of the kids who probably cooked it so keep that in mind .

Obsolutely NOT true. For one I have to point out that these pictures were NOT taken on thanksgiving In fact this is some kind of "fear factor" game that the girls are encouraged to partake in in order to earn points. Honestly it looks like baby food to me. Now why in the world would students be subjected to or even choose to eat this stuff I dont know. But I do know that this is not Thanksgiving dinner.

and just to let you know, when I was in the program they did let our parents send us packages on Christmas, Holloween, Birthdays and Easter but they did not let us eat until we puked. The gave us a good 4 hours to eat a bag of candy which we usually shared with the family anyway, I remember feeling sugar sick but never enough to throw up. I don't remember anyone else throwing up either.

They promise "3 Healthy and Delicious Meals per day". While I cannot apply for the job due to my poor skills in the servant language (which is poor even if you compare them with my poor English skill).

Why is the job-offer posted under healthcare with that food standard, unless the healthcare sector is the destination if you choose to eat it?

Most parents are desperate to avoid the juvenile justice systems for their kids...

Is that a fact or just your opinion?

so desperate that they are, most often, exploited further by the marketing machines these facilities use..

Wwasps marketing is not sophisticated, it's the worst in the industry. Is a crappy website, a phone call and a few brochures all it takes to convince a parent to send their kid off to a reprogramming gulag?

they try to give you "hope" that your child will be well cared for and safe...

You "hope" your kid will be safe because it's obvious how dangerous it is. Not exactly a well thought out plan to base it all on "hope".

this is a trap that you cannot see when you are in "full crisis mode"  

It's a trap parents refuse to see, to relieve themselves of the crisis.

I don't think I was dumb...just desperate.  

Keep telling yourself that.

My son was both physically & mentally abusive to me...I lived in fear of him.

What better way to get back at him by giving him a taste of his own medicine. If a kid hired thugs to kidnap their parents to take them to a hidden facility where they will be subject to abusive reprogramming the kid would be placed in jail, and probably diagnosed with a variety of mental illnesses. What makes it any different for a parent? Because there is a loop hole in the law that says it's legal?

That said...I still pulled him after 2 months.

Just enough time to show him who is in charge. Now he knows thugs with handcuffs are just a phone call away. He can be flown out of the country and held in private prison until he is 21 on the whims of a parent. Mission accomplished. Control reasserted.

The 5 years that have elapsed since then has been trying and difficult, but my son and I made a commitment to each other that "maintaining our good relationship" was the TOP priority for us. Even if that meant that sometimes we could not live together in harmony.  Rather than destroy what we both worked so hard to achieve, we remove ourselves from the conflict first and we have zero tolerance for physical violence.

Have you ever heard the term control freak before? It afflicts 100% of program parents, oddly enough.

Please note:  my son has been  diagnosed with Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) so that problem is always hovering overhead whenever we have a fight.

I even rent a room to him in my other apartment upstairs.  He pays rent and I treat him just like any other tenant.  

Control. Freak. 100% of program parents, guaranteed.

Have you ever considering using your apparent abundance of "free time" to actually DO something to change what is happening to our youth???  Instead, you use your time making ridiculous posts to a thread about a parent/child relationship YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT!  You are also jumping to all kinds of conclusions WITHOUT HAVING ANY FACTS.  He lives here because HE WANTS TO...he is 21 and can leave at anytime, but instead he chooses to stay near his MOTHER that loves him unconditionally - Not for the person I wanted him to be, but just for WHO HE IS TODAY.  The BEST and most liberating thing I ever did was to "let go" of MY hopes and dreams for his future and just love him for who he is today...tomorrow...next year!  The best is still yet to come....and YOU will have missed the boat...sad and pathetic!

Talk is cheap...actions speak louder than anonymous words from people that don't even have the guts to register and just post anon.

Bring it on..tell me all the things YOU DO to help further the cause of shutting down the industry??  Hmmm...big talker

The thing about people on fornits... they see through program parent's bullshit. Every program parent is the best parent in the world, dealing with the most trouble kid in the world, don't you get it? You are all the same. Just because you took your kid out after two months doesn't make you any smarter, or more clever than any of the rest. You probably ran out of money and made a bullshit story to tell your kid because you knew he would rightly be angry. One day, due to your controlling tendencies, when you were checking his computer to see if he was logging on to porn, you found antiwwasp.com and made a bullshit story to illicit sympathy and gain online friends because you wish some kid, any kid would love you. Now you made this your full time hobby, how pathetic for you.

Sure you'll get some desperate survivors to cling to your bullshit. They wish they had a parent too who would would tell them it was all a mistake and they love them a lot. But that's not how program parents work. They manipulate kids, control them and abuse them. I see right through your bullshit just like many others here do and will. I'm sure you are wondering why I am not grateful for your presence, in the same exact way you wonder why your kid did not worship you forever for removing him after 2 months of an abusive program. That's what makes you a program parent, and why you'll never figure it out.

I couldn't agree more! A lot can happen in 60 days, a hell of a lot!! But denial ain't just a river in Egypt -- this idiot will keep telling herself whatever it takes to feel better about not raising her own kid. There's a sucker born every minute, and I think this phrase is especially true when speaking of program parents!  :roflmao:  :deal:  :beat:  :rofl:

SO true....time for this parent to STFU and get the hell out of here!!

I personally think it would be good if she stayed. I believe there is a lot to learn from her. If you treat people like shit, they are never going to share anything on this site. Some of you are just way too angry to do any good.

The thing about fornits is you get a lot of trolls who are connected to the industry. They are happy to drive off a reliable poster speaking about  wwasp from a parent's point of view so her story is silenced. This parent never had her son kidnapped.  He wasn’t there under  “lock down” terms, as far as she knew. And, when she found out how horrible wwasp was she rescued him, even though when she got there the boy was so brainwashed  he refused to leave at first, she made him come with her. Speaks for itself.

if its anything like at SCL or TB you have to eat at least 50% of it or its a cat 3 or 5 (refusal) depending on the staff. ether way it is a loss of most if not all points.  :poison:  :beat:

refusal category usually results in loss of two levels and your points revert to the minimum amount of points needed for that level.  cat 5s are almost always loss of all levels and points.
