Parents should be held accountable!

I think it is funny that you say this. You know why? The reason is, and so you will know, I too am very much against these programs, however, probably 90% or more of the parents that I have spoken with in regard to the limited communication and the length of time that lapsed before they were able to talk to their child, chose to leave their child in the program for much longer than what the "enrollment agreement" stated was the norm. Why did such a high number of these now disgruntle parents go along with it when it became a reality? So as you say "no one would agree to the kind of cutting off thats actually takes place" then why did it take them so long, like months, to say "hey something is not right here."
I agree in a moment of desparation a parent might make a poor decision about the placement of their child in a program, but after the dust settles why do they then not start to see the signs? Why has it taken a lot of these disgruntle parents so long to see what was happening?
We even know of one parent, someone you and I both know, who made trips to Dundee, and yet left her child there for a year, and is now speaking out against them. WHY? Why did it take a year? Why did it take Amberly 6 months, after resigning (a total of 10 -12 if you add her time at Dundee) to speak out against Dundee? Why with what all has been discovered did it take these two people so long to speak out? Were they afraid for themselves? That is the only thing I can figure. Here you have two adults, actually three given Randall, who could have saved a lot of children a lot of pain and suffering much sooner.
I am so tired of adults who now play the blame game and today act as though they are so righteous. Once again, I think it is a save your butt senario, just like the PURE save your butt senario. I question whether any of these individuals motive is that of protecting children.

Yes Yes Yes I think that they should be held accountable fuck that I know they should be and so what IF and that is a mighty big if 10min after you left the program and you can't call your kid you now know you can't
this is a cop-out a way out of actually raising you child so then maybe later on you can turn around and blame the program and be the victim
when all along the children was the victim
1st by the parent
then by the program
the by the selfish histronic parent getting sympathy for their "victimization by the program"
grow up parents accept your role your the parents
what would you have done in the "good old days" when you couldn't ship your children off everytime you couldn't do it
the only victims here are the kids
the only ones who need help are the parents
the only ones who need a program are the parents
your children are a direct reflection of you if you don't like what you see then it is your problem
who raised them? Does that bother you? Glad you can't send me to treatment concerned parents.
Never let your sense of
morals get in the way of
doing what's right

Carey:
Yes...hold the parents accountable. Then other parents will see what can happent if they do not put their childs care and their childs desperation before their own.
MelissaR:
All this is about is you vs. your ex husband Carey.... You really don't give a flying fuck about kids in WWASP or your OWN kids really, you're just all about revenge on your ex... The only reason you flew down to get your kids was because this is all a game with you and your husband. That's horrible, I feel so bad for your kids. You make me sick.
Antigen:
Melissa, are you a mind reader or a shrink?
Folks, there is no getting around accaountability on the part of the parents. None. Doesn't matter the degree of culpability from one individual to another or even if they ever acknowledge it.
When you get older and start to get over the initial shock of realizing that any one of these new boyfriends might well wind up being your grandchildren's father, you start to take a different view of things.
My heart's dearest wish for the families who get chewed up and spit out by these sadistic cults is that they find a way to patch things up for the sake of the next generation.
I don't even care if anything horrible never happens to the people behind WWASP. I'd be very well satisfied with shipping them all off to a pleasant little resort together where they would not have access to harm any more families.
Haven't we all been hurt enough? I'm tired. I hope ya'll will consider leaving the vengence to the powers that be.
Come to the woods, for here is rest. There is no repose like that of the green deep woods. Here grow the wallflower and the violet. The squirrel will come and sit upon your knee, the logcock will wake you in the morning. Sleep in forgetfulness of all ill. Of all the upness accessible to mortals, there is no upness comparable to the mountains.
