Deborah, I have seen one contract and one parent manuel, and they are not at all a like.  The contract states the staff are not trained, they state that they do use restraint and isolation as a form of discipline.  They tell the parents that the people doing the restraining are not qualified or trained in any manor.  They do state in the contract that the people who determine whether or not a child should be put in isolation are not trained in determining that that is necessary.  The parents know exactly what is going on and they agree to it.  They are trying to brainwash their kids.  They see it as being for their own good.  The programs are providing a service in which the parents are well aware of what methods are being used.  The parents approve of them.

Antigen:
But they don't question the contracts. By the time a parent sees a contract they're already convinced that their kid will die unless they follow orders from staff without question. And the reenforceing fear mongering is definitely not limited to seminars and program publications.

This is no different, in my view, from parents who feed their young kids powerful and dangerous psyche drugs because they've been convinced by the school shrink that pretty much normal childish behavior is really a... subtle sign of some insidious disease that will ruin his life forever if not treated agressively!

Putting aside all viewpoints on pharmaceuticals for the moment, how would you expect a normal, healthy kid to respond to all of the adults in his life being convinced that he's mentally ill?

The parents are not brainwashed.  They make a conscious choice coice when they place their kids in a program.   Just because their ears were being tickled is not an excuse for them to now cry ignorance.  They are just as accountable for any wrong doing as the program is.

There is no excuse for ignorance.  If they have not questioned the contracts then they have not done their job as a parent!  They are more accountable for wrong doing than any one else.

I can't

I side with the parents on this one. I have gone through weekend workshops where I was completely brainwashed and found it to be pleasent in the end - not realizing that I had been used minipulated and bilked out of money.

Look, all cults, And I've direrctly experienced 4 - three voluntarily and 2 experimentally, can easily convince you that they are the answer to your problems - all of them.

They do. it by bombing parents with love, peer pressure and acceptance, a minipulative use of toxic shame and a covert use of love often with a sexual component. CEDU is a master of this. I went through their child and parent workshops. They are similar to Lifespring and Earhard, (Landmark Forum) Seminars Training. A couple of days and they own your mind. I've been there, I've seen it, and I've done it. It is evil.

Do not discount the experiences of others, the power of coersion. You see, you only see through your own eyes - not theirs. Take the parernts perspective. The kids should care about the parents too - parents - and even some of the  staff members are victims of this tyranny too.

I don't defend the removing of kids rights, isolation, or false ideas, and mean solutions, power play. Human beings, seeking an answer, are made (socialised) by systems - all are  brainwashed over a genetic blueprint. Then any ideology that isn't inclusive of other viewpoints and ideologies is bent toward brainwashing in an ideology. It is our right to choose different windows to look through, to see different views, different parts of the landscape, of reality, of social construction, of values, collective, individualistic or mixed.

If one viewpoint is in power, then it is our right to take some power back (rebel). Indeed, our country was founded by rebels who fought for freedon for all men (while owning slaves). The South rebeled and lost, but, nevertheless it was good to rebel. We rebelled in the 60 - 70s against a dumb war.

Now we have teens denied constitutional rights being shipped off and illegally imprisoned for lack of conformity to drug laws, or poor grades in a compulsory socialization mechanism called "school," by social and parental authority. When I was a kid in the 60's we rebelled. Black folks in the South Rebelled - I see no rebellion now.

Why not take some literature to these camps, inform the kids of their right to communicate with lawyers? Show then copies of teenliberty.org past abuses and their rights. This is a $$$$$ industry, the parents are just coerced to pay and cooperate. Hit the industry with the truth - that will bring liberty and end tyranny.
