Treatment Abuse, Behavior Modification, Thought Reform > The Troubled Teen Industry
INSIDE EDITION
FaceKhan:
I have often said I don't have much sympathy for most of the parents who sent their kids away. They were most likely duped, and most of them do love their kids, but it takes two to tango and it really is the parents who don't acknowledge their role in contributing to their family problems that send their kids away. I think in a lot of ways this industry exists because of the old threat of "let me send you to live with someone else and see how you like it there"
Of course when the someone else is more than just a strict relative who lives in the middle of nowhere, and turns out to be a cult where torture sessions are measured in months the parents get all regretful and want sympathy.
The other thing that bugs me is that almost all the parents always say that sending their kid away was the hardest thing they ever did. I would take that to mean that they did not feel good about it when they did it and a parent who does not feel comfortable leaving their kid in someone else's care should not have done it.
People need to be a little more independent and parents need to resist peer pressure a bit.

No One Has Wronged You.
Just as you have made no mistakes, neither has anyone else. Every person's actions have been exactly what you have needed to bring you into this moment. Blame and victim consciousness drain your power and personal energy.

Ryan is out there trying to sell himself and his movie, Coldwater. He has not done anything to help others. He is only hurting those who are still in these "programs". He can't keep his story straight from one moment to the next. I wish that Inside Edition would have asked him about his movie and the "bribe/ransom".
He is not creditable in my eyes. I am sure he will not be creditable in the eyes of many.

He is not creditable in my eyes. I am sure he will not be creditable in the eyes of many. He nor his mother seemed at all sincere or troubled by what they claimed to have experienced. They seemed to me to be self promoting more than anything.
