Did anybody notice the date and time that this was posted? I did. It was after Karen got to know Sue. Hmm...Karens story seems to have hit the net quite some time after her son was pulled from Dundee. Karen's story seems to have been molded and unfolded after becoming aquainted with Sue.
Karen, can you provide evidence that you were speaking out against Dundee back when your son was pulled? Or has your outcry only began to surface, like say since after October of 2002?

Sorry that was mine. Anyway, Karen can you answer the question and back it up with proof?
By the way, I do know you posted this same story on Sue's site back in Jan of 2003. I want to see where you were talking out against Dundee from before October of 2002. You know, before you came to have heard about Dundee in the news. Back when you would have formed your opinion or would have come to some sort of proof on your own, that Dundee was not a good place. Or, has your discovery of the truth come after that fact.
What I am trying to figure out is, did you pull Nathan because you knew something was wrong there at Dundee or did you pull Nathan for other reasons only to learn it was a good thing that you had?

Karen, didn't you have to sign a one year contract? If so, how would you figure that your son would be allowed to graduate in 6 months? The contract that my ex had to sign was for a year. He had to promise to pay the program at the very least, that length of time. It did not mention in the contract that if they graduated in less time, that he would be released from his payment thereof. To me, that is the program saying they will be there at least a year.

Karen, I followed the link you provided and read your statement. Very disturbing to learn about your concerns as to whether these programs are an appropriate placement for children suffering from a serious personality disorder. It's too bad you were booted off the parents support board for expressing your opinion. Sometimes I get the impression from reading posts on Lon's board that there is an underground network of parents who are successfully pitching non-WWASPS programs ... to their own financial gain. Am I wrong?
