You lost me on PURE wishing to close wwasp's...ain't my fight...don't have a dog in that one. May have one soon though!?
I never mentioned anything written in a newspaper article. I never mentioned PURE either. Although, I did find a book today which does reference PURE in it? Very professional writer out of San Fran... I believe?
I did question where the very nice person found my number & their response was...get this; THE HELP YOUR TEENS.COM SITE. They found it under volunteers!?
Actually, after I spoke with the very nice person today...my son completed the conversation with his experiences at CBS.
In it for me...you ask? The kid?s man or woman...the kids!!! You can make a sandwich with it if you want?

Which ever anon. I'm responding to...the person never asked about PURE. Yeah, you read it. Yes, my son's experience...?
Not my objective to ask anyone why they found my story on PURE's site? One more time anon...No, I'd didn't mention PURE, at all.
I know of one & only one school PURE refers to. Kind of ironic, when I was looking for help for my family, I contacted this same school without any prior knowledge of the teen help industry or the nightmares. I spoke with the owner, explained our circumstances...they basically explained to me that their school / program / what ever someone wants to refer to them as, could not accept a child of seventeen +.
The gentleman I spoke with said he could take our money & incarcerate our son until he was 18...but they did not recommend this scenario. Neither of us would benefit except his profits would increase due to our payments. I respected this person's input & continued on my merry way.
It all boils down to this...I don't, never will nor do I have the education to assist a family in choosing a program. I wonder if anyone enrolling children at wwasp's hotline has any formal training or education to do the same.
Do I have the education, experience & knowledge of what my family went through...by all means yes. Do I have a right to speak out about our experience pertaining to our dealings with behavior modification programs...why hell yes...thanks to people like my dad who was a warrior for this great nation & defending freedom when ever he was ask to!!! As you can tell I'm kinda partial & proud of ol' pops brings tears to my eyes.
Back in a few?gotta go potty!!!
Give it your best shot!!!
Regards,
Lee

Lee- not taking pot shots - just thinking here that you were hell bent on finding a program that would take those close to their 18th birthday and you found CBS? Did you expect different results like your son choosing to stay after his 18th birthday and transferring to an over 18 program? I take it he hadn't had enough time there to see that as an option and chose to leave when he turned 18? Has this had anything to do with feeling like teen help lied to you about something? If so what?
