--- Quote from: "Oscar" ---I do believe that she had the interests of the kids in her heart and she intended to do her best for them. I also believed that the work broke her down. The book which I borrowed led me to this conclusion. I believe that a lot of young people enter this business with a pure heart and they leave it when they discover that the kids are numbers for the accountants and owners.

Any job working with kids can be challenging that is why the public schools offered tenure as a way to try to keep teachers from leaving after a few years. Now imagine having to deal with at-risk teens full time with no real monetary incentive to make a career out of it. I think we can all see that this is a formula for a high turn over rate and staff getting burned out after a couple of years. One of the few rewards, as gdomenica13 pointed out, is the gratification of watching these kids grow and move on. I think it is great that he/she still keeps in contact with all her past students.

Well, you would know all about that now, wouldn't you, Whooter? After all, she was featured not too minimally in your friend Dave Marcus' book, What it takes to pull me through. Gotta say, a 22-year-old anorexic fresh outta college still having "slip-ups," leading Group for girls with eating disorders, sounds about right for Academy at Swift River...

Excellent point, Ursus. Her hiring is very similar to those of many convicted felons who work at programs because the program believes the "life experience" is enough to be a "counselor" of "troubled teens." People should know that programs intentionally seek out this type of employee.
Personally, I believe this is so when one of these employees reports abuse, they have a ready-made denial prepared. "But she's a felon. You can't believe a felon!" Even though that felon was in direct control of children for months or years at their program. That's how HLA operated and its employees founded ASR. Interesting matrix, no?
I also noticed quite a few holes in that resume. Interesting indeed.

:rofl: Aren't you trying a lil too hard to feign ignorance as to how/why Gdomenica13 just happened to come across this thread, Whooter?
At least she has a sense of humor 'bout it all:

There appear to be none on staff. It looks like ASR just hires someone with the same illness to "treat" the kids. I'm sure she gave those kids lots of "tips" about how to hide anorexic behaviors by "telling her story" to them.
