"it's a breakdown for the child"

Hey Deborah, do you know of any cases where a kid has sued one of these ed cons or IRA's (independent referral agents)? Seems to me these outfits would be wise to settle out of court rather than risk compromising their reputation in a self-regulated industry where even one black eye can trigger the proverbial domino effect.  Just speculating here, but if anyone should benefit from bringing a lawsuit, it is the children because they are the ones being short-changed.

Deborah:
I don't. Wish I could say my son was taking this action, but for the time being, he's just ecstatic to be free of the nightmare and wants to forget it. He may be interested at some point. I would support him 100%. A successful suit would set a wonderful precedent.

I understand things need to change and that no one should profit from anothers problems.  For me it isn't about who to blame for the programs out there that feed parents crap to get them to utilize them when one feels there is no other answer.  I am a parent that if I had it to do over again I wouldn't with what I know today however I can not change that.  

What I see today that I couldn't see then is that the problem is larger than a child who lies, cheats and whatever else.  It isn't about the spoiled bratt....it is about society and its acceptance for the lack of ability not in parenting but in restrictions put onto parents.

My child wasn't beaten however I know many children suffer abuse and even today still do with the tougher laws however it is like every thing when one advicate takes things overboard it stops the balance.

Children deserve to be loved and understood however it is my feeling and my judgement that the balance of things is off.  From this all the institutions and their broken promises are profiting!
