Whooter, if you cannot trust yourself to take care of your own, that s your problem bro.
The fact that I have confidence in myself and those that I care about does not put me anywhere near the level of a pro-life doctor killer.
Also, you betray, in your response that you were being manipulative because were asking me to answer a question based on premises that I have not accepted.
( and in your response, you acknowledge it)

Paul,
Your having a conversation with a parent that has experienced a circumstance you really internally have no experience to elaborate about.
Your not defining yourself here, you are in a lab (so to speak) theorizing what you would do under similar circumstances based upon your own experiences (being a subject), very complex to say the least.
One is "defined" after the fact based upon real actions. Not theoretics.
I believe that your experience in Daytop was horrible for you, as you have said. I also think that there are multiple factors of where "all" this manifested hostility towards Daytop/TTI is coming from.
See I think that many here were having big time problems at home with the parents and upon being sent to the various programs found a source of authority that pushed back unlike how their parents did it. They/we found that we could not pull the shit we were pulling at home (right or wrong), some of us were so pissed off because it appeared our parents or society had won. We were misunderstood and no one was listening.
The problem was the "reactions" we were having because of this confusion. Society and are ignorant parents were dealing with our reactions, example drugs, skipping school, belligerence, criminal activity ect.....
I just think this is something that needs to be looked at also.
