Positive Impact??

Which is why the Programs hide as much of what they do as possible *from* the outside world, isn't it?"

One must ask exactly who finds the need to post retaliatory comments for criticism of The Program. For every dozen identical survivor stories about any one aspect, some Anon immediately shoots back, "...no, they didn't. That isn't so. You're lying." There never is any direct repudiation of the damningly-similar stories. Oh, except, "...thousands have been helped, and you just don't want to let that happen anymore."
Someone here continues to state that mail is not censored, that parents wander in droves willy-nilly through these "schools", that confrontational group therapy by a bunch of screwed-up and isolated 16-yo's is beneficial for children "working on themselves", that families can indeed develop skills of parent-child interaction better 3000 miles away from their children and out of contact for months at a time, rather than at weekly counseling sessions at home.
Survivors talk about what happened to them. Anonymous advocates simply say, "You're lying". Who do you believe?

You are a wise woman spots.

***First, who are you affiliated or in bed with that refers to Positive Impact? **
Spots, good question. Seems to me that you are endorsing the same kind of program, so what's up? I take it you've been to Positive Impact.

SPOTS WROTE: "A Program may be a Program, but perhaps Positive Impact has the staff, training, methodology to be a...well, positive impact."
Excuse me? Where did you get this information? From a brochure, from parents or kids that have been there? I'm not saying it's a bad program, it's just that with all programs who do you believe? You have chosen to somehow say positive things about Positive Impact, however, unless you've been there, who's right?
What IS their methodology and what is the success rate?
Antigen:
Do they take involuntary placements? Are they licensed as a lock-down? Do they isolate their students from the outside world?
Just basic stuff. Anybody know the answers?
Men seldom, or rather never for a length of time, and deliberately, rebel against anything that does not deserve rebelling against.
