There is one thing I don't understand. I visited Loa some years back. The children at this ranch wore orange jump suits as they were imprisoned. I believe that it must have felt like a huge punishment as result of being bullied. I fear what she might do once she is 18 and cannot be afraid of being sent back to the ranch again. Often it is pure fear that keeps former residents from such places in place - as long as they are legally children.

Why didn't the parents go to the police instead? Death threats are criminal.David posted at 8:33 am on Tue, Jul 19, 2011.
My wife and I use Social Web Watch to monitor our 4 kids accounts. We used to log in to their accounts and review everything daily. We thought we were being through, but did not always have time to do it every day.

The service is great and found a lot of issues we missed. Most of our friends are now using it and we would recommend it to every parent.lryder posted at 3:35 pm on Tue, Jul 19, 2011.
To answer and clarify the question on the recent post. The parents did go to the police; and were informed that they spoke to the parents, but infact told them that we could not prove that the individual sent it because children share thier profile information with each other.
I visited the ranch many many times over the course of the year , and no children were in orange jump suits nor were they imprisoned at any time. The community of Loa was heartfelt, and wonderful to deal with at all times. My daughter in fact misses them all very much.
There are several types of programs out there that do include using punishment, Aspen was not one of them. There were several other issues and reasons that Aspen Ranch was ultimately chosen.LMG posted at 8:09 am on Wed, Jul 20, 2011.
This is a great article to help bring awareness to this increasingly traumatic issue. Taylor is a brave and inspiring young lady. Lynn, God bless you for being a fabulous mom and taking charge in helping your daughter redirect her life. She is a very lucky girl to call you "Mom". Best wishes to you both and your family, and thank you for sharing your story. If it makes even one person think twice about cyber-bullying, you've made a difference. I'm looking forward to supporting your cause at the pig roast and hopefully having the opportunity to shake Taylor's hand.Cray posted at 8:58 pm on Wed, Jul 20, 2011.
I truly admire Lynn for fighing for her daughter's life. It's so hard to know when to push and when to back down with your kids. Taylor deserves kudos as well. These are two strong, smart, inspiring women. As a single mom, every bit of inspiration helps.

I also hope the Record-Journal posts the information for the Pig Roast in September as it comes closer. I wouldn't want to miss it!clairedorotik posted at 1:08 am on Thu, Jul 21, 2011.

I believe that this is a great form of intervention, but what of the parents and children who can't afford the high cost of the therapy. I see we don't want to see a horrible turn out with the youngsters, but there has to be a happy medium somewhere. I think we should consider local help, if there is any of course. I feel this system is broken anyway and only a handful of parents really are paying attention, the ones that really care about what goes on with there children. This is slowly dieing to expectations that the educators should be responsable for teaching our children the basics. I think this should fall on the parents and reitterated by educators. We need to keep a close eye on what our children and adults are doing and saying these days on the net or by phone, you can really devastate some people with how you go about posting things. The key to this is keeping a watchful eye on every aspect of our lives and our childrens lives, or at least try to:o)
