Thayer Learning Center in Kidder MO
Anonymous:
Iwas there up until about a month ago for about nine months. That place is so poorly run i lived in pathetic overcrowded conditions very little of the employees there have ever had military training or counseler training for that matter most employees are barely older than me. I have freinds who are probably still there they choked one of my freinds out and smashed his face into the concrete (broken teeth)for not exercising, he didn't fight back didn't antagonize etc. then they made him face a corner for a little over a month!!!!!!!!!! they told us the key word in PASSIVE resistance was resistance!!! similiar incidents happen regularly!!!!!!!!!!!

I was in that program ... this is how the owners can get away with promoting there program on every sight about parenthelp. John bundy owns parent help, his wife owns Thayer learning center (technically) although while I was there Mr Bundy ran the program just as much as Mr Bundy. Oh and the parent help center is about a ten minute drive from that place in the same office the program handles all it's financial work etc.

I wasn't actually in the program, I worked at Thayer, so I know more about the truth and how the program works.
I am not saying that Thayer is all bad, I believe they have good intensions, but their program hardly ever works as planned.
I would say that kids in the program are mistreated, but honestly I have never seen anyone just beat a child, atleast not when I was around.
The worst thing to me, is the lack of medical treatment. Even a person in jail has more rights to see a doctor then a child in Thayer.
There were times when 5 kids or more had pink eye and instead of sending each to the doctor they would use the same medication. I was a sargent and they expected me to distribute the meds and I refused to give someone meds that belonged to someone else. Im not saying that happend all the time, but on weekends when there was no one to take the kids, that is what we were told to do.
I personally would never send a child to Thayer. I believe all problems start at home for whatever the reason, and I would fix them at home. I know that isn't always possible, but to me, Thayer would not be an option.
The kids are emotionally stressed and have serious problems and at times, (most of the time) have no one to talk to. A family Rep might see a child once every two weeks, that is if they are behaving.
I learned a lot from working at Thayer and I am very glad I am no longer there.
