--- Quote from: "Oscar" ---As I said before we are charting the sector of the industry which deals in eating disorders. I can understand a tube when we are talking life and death, but this seems to be a program where the children are sent to once they are stabilized at the local hospital.

When we are talking prisoners of war, then the debate has been whether the use of forced tube feeding is torture, but when we are talking residential care there is the morale question?

Other places like Remuda Ranch offers the tube as an option. It is up to the clients whether they want to sit inactively in a corner between therapy session if they don't eat or not (It is not support for Remuda - It is just how they deal with it).

Here is a statement showing how this program handle non-eaters:

Hey Ladies!

I'm in treatment for anorexia.  I was admitted to the hospital on November 15th and stayed there for two weeks, sitting in bed and having to eat >1000 calories a day!  Now I'm in Day Treatment Unit (against my will) in Portland at Kartini.  I go four days a week, ten hours a day with other patients for therapy and such.  We have to complete 100% of our meals otherwise we go back to the hospital with a feeding tube in our nose.  Yuck. And we are supposed to eat 3000 FUCKIN CALORIES PER DAY!!!  What the hell is wrong with these people?  I hate having to gain weight!  Never, ever, EVER let your parents take you to an eating disorder clinic for a 'checkup'.  I went with my parents and ended up in the hospital.  Life really is hell for me.  I'm not allowed to excerise, see friends, or shop at all!!!   I really need support from someone who has gone through the same thing as me, because I really want to end my life.  I don't want to live with all this fat on me. Please help!

Thanks Oscar for the clarity concerning my questions I asked.
