We're supposed to believe YOU had anything to do with inspections? That's funny :rofl: There are many parents in and out of there everyday from 8am until 8 pm. How are they muffling the screams of the kids you think are being beaten and abused? It's really not big - do they have underground compound no one knows about. You've seen too many Stephen King movies or reading way too much fiction - Are you helping Ryan write his script?"

We could all probably move toward changing this industry if we could gain insight into why this poster responds as she does. I think I wrote a pretty calm request, backed by reasonable explanations. I am hoping that working the "regulation angle" might be ONE WAY to rein in the worst schools.
*It is absurd to read into my statements that I had anything to do with inspections. Obviously there is already a legal obligation in place for DOS to visit, whether requested to or not. Why would Anon accuse me of taking credit?
*Parents may be there, but my point is (duh, read it again, Anon) that neither parents nor government officials are being allowed beyond carefully-selected places. A parent requesting to see his child before Level IV and seminars is taken to a one-way mirrored room and observed through the glass. [statement from 3 different parents I personally know of].
*Muffled screams and beatings are easy to "catch". Think bigger here, Anon. Whacking on your child at home with a plastic baseball bat is clearly child abuse, but then SO IS KEEPING HIM IN A DARK CLOSET FOR A YEAR, AWAY FROM ALL SOCIETY, DECENT FOOD, EDUCATION, NEEDING PERMISSION TO PERFORM BODILY FUNCTIONS, DEVOID OF SOCIAL INTERACTION WITH PEERS...at home. Just enlarge the closet to a Casa or TB compound, and expand your definition of abuse. You have to think big to understand abuse, Anon; the little "easy" stuff is not the worst.
*The comment about hidden dungeons and the ever-resourceful reference to Ryan and the Movie? Well, if you run out of the intelligent things you can say after one post, might as well revert to the same ole-same ole. It's always good for a rant and tickle.
My point is, what motivates this kind of response to my DOS question? Why is it so important for this anonymous person to attack my question, with inane and really stupid "reasons"? What is in it for her that she is so persistent with no new news? She doesn't seem to have a child to defend. She doesn't seem to have money spent that needs justification. She may be protecting her job with fierceness, regardless of the impact that job has on families. She doesn't seem to have anything on the "positive" side to justify all this negative that is her knee-jerk reaction. Maybe she just hates her own mother, and this feels good to vent that hate.
What a sad, lonely, ineffective person this is. I wish I could walk away and leave her screaming after me as I go into the sunlight. But I must continue to bring sunlight down into the darkness, and this devil just happens to be hiding in every crevice on the path there. ...Sigh...

Its so easy for Carey and others to blame parents for reaching out for help for their troubled teens.
I take full responsibity for the mistake.
The issue is the ABUSE . Not the parent's error in trusting the untrustworthy.
Direct your ugliness in the correct direction.
This forum is not one of support, but of attacks against humanity. How sick.How unkind.
What do you all strive to accomplish?
Carey:
I have not blamed anyone for reaching out for help. What I said is that it is a parents job to know whether or not their child is safe, especially if they have put them into a place that holds them against their will.
Do you not agree with that?
If you have guilt, well don't blame me. All I am trying to do is to reach the parents of kids who are still in these types of programs. I think it is their job to know, without a doubt, that their child is safe.

I agree with parent's need to be aware .
Better yet, don't trust at all.
