Treatment Abuse, Behavior Modification, Thought Reform > Aspen Education Group
Another detainee has got support groups on the internet
AuntieEm2:
yeah man,
Sorry no one was able to help get you out and as I've said many, many times before, no one deserves to be treated in the unhumane way programs treat kids.
That said, please know how powerless others can be to intervene on behalf of a child. I speak from experience. Every avenue we pursued to get our neice out of a program dead-ended when we realized she would be punished by the program if our efforts became known to the parents or the program. Parents have almost unlimited power under the law to make decisions about the education and care of their children.
We must all keep trying, but it's really difficult to rescue a child. And while it would have been great if your friends had done more to help, they were, nevertheless, children--and you know all too well how little power kids have in this world. This is a system of abuse that is wholly the responsibility of adults, adults who should know better (though programs routinely deceive parents), adults who should protect children, not hurt them, and adults who must be held accountable.
Those of us back home are told nothing of the truth about programs. Your friends did try to act on your behalf... I would guess they were more supportive than you realize, but virtually powerless. Programs have a sinister history of getting families to identify additional children among the friends and family members who can also be recruited to the program. Your friends and siblings (if any) were at risk of suffering the abuse that you suffered, though they would not have known that.
I'm sorry "guest" said such hurtful things to you. Your outrage is completely understandable and the abuse you suffered is not your fault.

I guess it should not surprise me at all that I am having flashbacks to the program I was in. Anyone else? I mean, is that post above supposed to be funny? Is it supposed to be funny to give people program flashbacks?

Dont be too upset it wasnt just directed just at you. There was a post awhile back where a parent was criticized the same way as you were only for sending their kid away. The poster knew nothing about this parent but still beat up on them like they were dirt, accusing the parent of just sending the kid away for no reason when the poster didn’t know what the home life was like or circumstances for the kid being placed in a program.
People can just be mean spirited in general and take their anger out on anyone who happens to be around. The parent never deserved the critisizem just like you dont because we dont know the details.
Hang in there.

^^^^ First he dishes out the dirt and insults, and then he explains it away with some pro-parent sob-story. So schizophrenic, and so familiar.

Don't pay any attention to asshole-"Oh they should have tried harder"-Guest ... it's just some bitter Troll posting his neuroses onto everyone else. Maybe his kid didn't turn out so well, so he hates us all. Bitter fucked-up Troll, poor bitter fucked-up Troll.
