Sorry. Could you please rephrase the question?

Ginger - the answer is No. I explained this already. I guess you missed it. I don't think there is anything anywhere that remotely indicates any such thing - its all in your suspicious mind.I understand why your so suspicious. But in this case, your wrong.
ALA is a Christian program for Christian kids. No one is forcing anything on these kids. Furthermore,
in my experience, ALA is the only program that will actually cut tuition so a kid can come if they think they can help and the family can't afford it; and actually provides entertainment and activities without any additional charge. Nate was taken on several long distance trips and many shorter ones, for things such as snow boarding, horse back riding, hiking the canyons, movies and concerts and I don?t know what all; and I was never asked for one extra penny to cover the cost.
He was very sick once and had to visit the hospital; I was never asked for a so much as a dime as a result.
The tuition that is paid actually covers the kids expenses.
My own experience has taught me this is not always the case; and I suspect it is rare.
It takes money to run a program, but this program is not about money.
I know you are down on programs in general; and not happy with what Craig has had to say; but do consider this:
How many other Executive Directors would bother with a forum like Fornits at all?
And admit who they are, I mean.
So you don't like the man or his message; you should still give credit where credit is due.

All I want to know from you, Karen B/Z is why you think it's okay for parents to pay for the abduction of their own child by complete strangers for the explicit purpose of forcing that child into a school or program? Don't give me that tired old song-and-dance about how no kid wants to go to a program because the same can be said for *adults* suffering from alcohol or drug abuse. You don't see these thugs barging into an 18 year old boy or girl's bedroom threatening to use handcuffs if they don't "come quietly" now do ya? Of course not. That would be considered kidnapping which is a FEDERAL OFFENSE. It's only teens who can not (or will not) comply with their parent's expectations and demands who have to worry about whether it is safe to sleep in their own beds at night without barracading the door.

Then, naturally, you would have nothing to do w/ "escort" services because all of your students are there voluntarily, right?
If that's not correct, then please explain how you can take and keep kids against their will and still believe you're not forcing anything on them.
