Way more kids praise programs than attack them, why is that?

Before you start your explanation, I hope you consider refraining from using the term "brainwashing", since this is not accurate.

If 1,000 kids say a program is just fine, and 4 kids complain that it was abusive, what would you believe? That is the choice parents have today and why the 'anti program movement' is nothing more than a few websites and the crazy people who run them.

That is a pretty big "if".  If my grandmother had wheels she'd be a shopping cart. :roflmao:

And if frogs had wings then they wouldn't bump their asses on the ground when they hopped. But that's just not the case.

Ok then, I won't say it. How do you explain yourself?

Why and how is the term not accurate? Seems to me that such a shoe fits many a foot in these parts!  :D

To begin with the program i attended spent much of the 11 months i was there threatening me not to complain. in order to leave you had to sign a contract and write an essay about how great the program is and agree to the directors that you won't say anything bad or have contact with any students from the program. when i got home i was often threatened by my mother over every little thing that she would send me back if i did not do what she wanted. i was sent to the program because i have Asperger's and depression and my father just wanted a normal child. the program i was at thought Asperger's meant i did not know it was wrong to lie and steal. it took me three years before i could trust a therapist to tell her what happened to me. After leaving the ranch i suffered severe anxiety. The problem is many people don't get the help they need so they become self destructive and cannot get themselves together to speak out. i am lucky but it took 4 and half years of therapy before i am now brave enough to post online. i am not posting the name of the place i went to because i hear they cleaned up some of the worst behavior however i am sure it is not the ideal situation for most teens in need of help. the program i went to the complaints far outnumber happy customers especially those from 2001-2004 when the program was much worst.

i have never done drugs, i don't drink, never been arrested and am now a junior in college. now that i have found this site i feel i finally found a place were the truth is being told.
