14 Year old Dies at THAYER LEARNING CENTER
Antigen:
Oh, and BTW, props to some of our trolls. It's getting harder and harder to tell you apart from the real dingbats.
The body of
Benjamin Franklin, printer,
(Like the cover of an old book,
Its contents worn out,
And scripts of it's lettering and gilding)
Lies Here, food for worms!
Yet the work itself shall not be lost,
For it will, as he believed, appear once more
In a new
And more beautiful edition,
Corrected and amended
By it's Author!
Epitaph for himself.
--Benjamin Franklin 1706-1790

TLCNOMORE:
Will everybody leave this poor Cruella woman alone. She needs to make a decision about the life of her daughter and you guys are just being vicious. maybe a little friendly advice might help. You push people away when you're so mean. She doesn't know everything that the rest of us know unless we tell her and give her resources to investigate. Remember that Thayer can be very convincing and manipulative and distraut parents are their specialty and an easy target as well. You people are being to judgmental in my opinion. Give this woman a chance to obsorb all the information she's being given. It's a tough decision to make when you don't know what you'll do with your child once you get them home. And don't blame her for her childs decisions. She may have been a great mother and her kid just went the wrong way. It happens. I agree that Thayer is no place to leave a teen to get help,especially the help this girl seems to need but this woman was brave enough to come on here and tell her story. Maybe she needs advice and support not criticism and ridicule. Well you all can get mad at me if you want for speaking my mind but this is how I feel. I'm not ashamed to sign this one either. Pia
Antigen:
I'm not mad at you, Pia. You came around here (and I'm guessing, this wasn't your only stop) looking for more depth. Cruella, otoh, seems to me to be looking just for some rassurance. If she can find the right Program recipe to refute all her lyin' eyes tell her, then that makes her a better Program parent. Trust the Process, remember?
Maybe I'm wrong. But if she keeps on in her thinking that suicide attempts are just head games all about influencing her, she's either going to wind up w/ a dead kid or a kid to whom she's dead.
Either way, I'm far more concerned for the daughter than for the mother.
I believe in God, only I spell it Nature.

Pia, I can understand....and Cruella, I can understand how you feel as well. I have 6 children, and out of all of them, only the one i sent to thayer seemed to feel the same way, that rules didnt apply to him. But honey, there are alternatives to places like Thayer. I really feel for you and would be willing to talk to you more in person or in private if you wish. My son was only there one week, but the hell he went through the one week there was enough to make him understand that rules DO apply to him. He has been out 6 weeks now and the transformation in him is amazing....i am sure that part of the reason is that he feels we might send him to another school. I really would like to talk to you if interested. Pia has my personal numbers, or you can private mail me here, or click on my profile nad private mail me at my email address.
Cruella:
For those you have responded with VALUABLE information, THANK YOU. I will keep in touch with you via e-mail.
For others, you've received a SUMMARY of the hell that we've been through, I do not have the time to tell you every LITTLE detail of our lives. I came here for more information, and credible references from those who've had bad experiences with Thayer.
Thanks again Pia and tlcrescue for your valued information.
