Why was it so necessary to keep you in a PCS hold (off and on?) for five hours? Seems like there was a real breakdown of the therapy of some sort, for such extreme measures to be utilized...

Do ya think things could possibly have been handled differently?

Jennifer Michael:
I was the student that was thrown on her face for throwing a snow ball at a male staff member. I was not "allowed" my phone calls because my therapist told me that they would tell me when they wanted a call and told them that i would ask them for a call when i wanted one ( the therapist minuplated my adoptive parents into thinking that i didn't want to talk and vice versa)(reason i do believe money i was in programs for 2 years prior and it was payed with a trust fund( that and you can't get out of calo with out working with your family) . Phone calls were 15 minutes if you were lucky some staff would only let you get 10 or would lie to you about how long they talked to you "parents" first. Staff were never supposed to play fight with you, there were some staff that if they saw that you were play fighting a staff they would put you in a hold automatically because you were not being safe.alot of what the other student said is Bullshit. group was in your face, if your therapist did like something there was no take you off to the side and talk to you nicely about it, they would embarass you and make you break down. and afterward you felt like an outsider. if you have any questions that i could answer feel more then free to ask them.

Che Gookin:
Explain these group thingies a bit more.

Also, what happened after you bailed? Where did you end up? I remember trying to communicate with your parents via email to convince them to not send you to another program. Don't think they much listened though. Got like 2 emails total from them.. I think..

Jennifer Michael:
Hello again,
Please do not refer to John and Rose as my parents, they are not, and have not acted like that for a very long time, with the programs their hearts have grown very cold and i do not believe that they are even concerned about what happens at these facilities. I did end up in other programs, thank you for trying to keep me out of them. I went back to Midwest Academy, my first program, and then to Eagle Quest. Staff members would humilate you in order to get a reaction from you that they thought was change. they would have groups until they felt that the situation was resolved, that could be for hours. staff were relentless. they would look for any reason to hold a group or a meeting with you and staff.

Xelebes:
Ah, good ol' conversions.
