No, it's not safe to assume any of this. The problem was his raging, untreated drug problem that was still present after ASR which did nothing to treat the boy. They just warehoused him for a few years and then he was right back to what he did before.

People struggle with addiction their whole lives. It isnt something you go and have fixed and then never have to worry about again. It is a series of relapses and learning to live with addiction. If you know or have witnessed anyone trying to quit smoking,drugging or drinking you will understand that it isnt an easy process and can take numerous tries. With drugs and alcohol the addiction can stay with you for a life time and can be a constant struggle to stay clean.

Thanks for the 'psychology lesson' Who. But the real problem here is that for years Mike's problem was completely ignored by his father and ASR by his very placement at ASR which provides no treatment whatsoever. So, you're argument really is for 'doing nothing' which is the same as sending a kid to a program. It just delays what is going to happen, it doesn't change it. Anyway, your argument doesn't matter. Mike was sent to ASR for 'help,' he received none and when he came home he went right back to drugs - even harder ones than before the program - because his condition actually was worsened by ASR, nothelped in any way. The kid paid with his life, but his dad paid only with his wallet. Not a fair deal in my book.
TheWho:
Prior to ASR the father had Mike seen by a specialist in the field of addiction and he was referred to a Counselor who worked one on one with him. As his grades continued to slip and his relationship with drugs became stronger he was recommended to ASR by The Director of Pediatrics at Children’s Hospital in Boston.
ASR was able to arrest his behavior, teach him to cope with himself and the problems that life will and has thrown at him and set him on a healthy path. He graduated ASR, attended and graduated from college and continued his interest in Music and a made himself successful in a career in Sales. He continued to struggle throughout his life with his addiction until it finally took his life.
As we all know addiction isn’t something that is cured but is a lifetime challenge and each person attempts to hold it at bay the best he can. The road can be long and arduous and in many instances the road is short as it was for Mike.
Please be respectful of this boys life and struggles and don’t twist his story to make him a tool for your agenda.

Why not, you did. You used your own sons suicide as a marketing tool. I have no doubt you're still pissed off you couldnt capitalize on your wife dying too. Oh well, at least they were both lucky enough to get away from you. You're a horrible person, really.
Oh and for the record this:
--- Quote ---Where was it said that he didnt go to his mother funeral? I didnt read that. Give the school a call, they make arrangements for the child to attend funerals if it is the immediate family or if the family requests the child to be taken out for a short time.
The child needs to be accompanied at all times so they request that a parent fly out to meet the child at the school and then accompany the child back again.Guest

Is a crock. Funerals are frequently used as leverage for kids locked up in HLA. Kids are made to meet certain conditions, acknowledge certain "facts", or in the cases where the parent insists and takes the kid for the funeral, the kid is punished upon return. Please Peter, since you've already proven time and again you know nothing of this industry, or this particular kiddie jail, enlighten us as to the theraputic value in such an act?
Also you still need to show the post where you gave permission to have your posts linked up. I'm not letting you off the hook Peter.
