14 Year old Dies at THAYER LEARNING CENTER
Anonymous:
We keep telling these program parents that their kids can end up dead if they send them to these places.
They keep believing it can't possibly be true or that the teen will end up deadorinjail if left at home.
Maybe so. But there's a huge moral difference if a kid dies in his own hometown because he did something really stupid versus dying in a program *because his parent sent him there*.
If you don't "do something" "for his own good" something terrible may happen!!!!
Yeah, maybe. :roll: But at least you won't have *caused* it.

The boy was a 14 year old either african american or Hispanic boy. Thayer Learning center waited five minutes before the the Caldwell County Dispatch was called. I know all of this from listening to the scanner when it was called in. The 911 dispatcher stated all of this over the scanner as it happened. The kid was taken to Cameron Regional Hospital in Cameron, MO where he was pronounced dead. The information I received from the hospital was that he was severely bruised and looked as if he had been beaten. The boys body is being examined by the coroner, I have been told they plan to do several tests and it could take up to a week for them to be done with it all. This is all the information I have at this time I will post more when I learn more.

Exactly!
Here's the thing, though. We've had decades, several generations' worth, of propaganda about the exagerated dangers of drugs and youth. So these treatment gurus have had a field day selling their expensive snake-oil cure for what ails ya'.
I think we just need to get the truth about these methods out there and maybe, as a nation, reach some sensible approach to managing and mitigating the inherent dangers of drugs and those of growing up.
Simple as water, and just as difficult to direct, eh?
A government resting on the minority is an aristocracy, not a Republic, and could not be safe with a numerical and physical force against it, without a standing army, an enslaved press and a disarmed populace.

What we need to do right now, is pray for the family of this poor child who has died at the hands of Thayer Learning Center. And do this poor kids death some justice by coming together and getting this place closed down. We need anyone (former employees, former students, parents, doctors who treated some of kids) anyone who has any information needs to speak up. These people need to pay for this not only civilly but also with criminal charges. Right now is the time to act if you have ever thought of coming forward with information or you have come forward already, make sure you are heard tell DFS, Government, Sherriffs Dept, anybody who will listen. Lets put a stop to this now before someone else dies. We already know of several kids who have been severely injured at the school and nothing was done. So lets please for the sake of this young childs' short lived life do something now. :evil: :mad:

Have you called the major newspaper of the biggest city in the state, or the nearest big city?
*Do*
Their reporters can get more information than you can, and the reporters at a big city newspaper will tend to be more liberal than the society around them and more skeptical of holy rollers.
I tend towards the more right/libertarian (little "l") political philosophy, but if a reporter's liberal feelings makes him/her more likely to aggressively investigate a suspicious death, I'm all for it.
Call the reporter and tell him what you heard over the scanner, and what the hospital people told you. If you can give him information that will help him identify which hospital person, he can get it firsthand while promising the source anonymity.
Call the news tipline. It will be *somewhere* in the paper. Or call 411, ask for the paper's offices by name, and once they put you through to the main number, ask for the number of the news tip line.
Trained reporters can find out more about this than you can, and this is *big news*. The old saying in reporting, "If it bleeds, it leads" applies.
Now, for all I know, *if* there's a dead kid, he could have died of anything---I don't know you (and I mean no offense by saying so). The stuff a reporter tracks down will have credibility, because the reporter will be able to verify that there was a death, that there was a 911 call, that there were emergency personnel (cops, emts, whatever) who responded, that there is a body, etc.
If you care enough to post to Fornits, care enough to call 411 for the paper's phone number, get their tip line number, and tell a reporter what you heard on the scanner and why you're concerned.
