I propose we do all of the above.

Regulation like the above, is just a statement of intention (hopefully) by the people who pay the taxes and cast the votes. It's up to us to invoke those laws as a starting point for settling disputes that can't be settled privately and peacefully.

Yes, nag, nag and nag some more. If the cops don't want to persue criminal complaints, take it to the DA. One day, I think we'll see some serious criminal indictments out of this. Then maybe these self appointed gurus will think twice before setting up shop.

Yes, if you find a way to get your friend out, please do get him far, far from there. The custody and runnaway stuff will all be accademic in a very short while. From Tucker, take 50 west to Rt 18 to Rt 2. That's a friendly back way into Pittsburg, which is a college town. Very easy to blend there.

Get the word out. Get people talking. Another reason why I haunt the forums. The sales pitch doesn't stand up to much scrutiny. I happen to have a lot of fun debating the finer points. I guess I'm making up for all that time when I couldn't do that without getting my butt kicked.

Do the same thing with the media; write to A&E and critique their work. Keep an eye out for journalists who are covering this issue from any and all perspectives and write to them. Tell them you have information on the issue. Forward a copy of the article, with or without your response, to direstraights@drugsense.org. Hone your positions and arguments through debate and dialog with other people who share your interest. Then ALL a' ya'll go an write a letter to the editor.

Don't leave out the policy makers. If there's legislation on the air, write your legislator and let him know, very briefely, what you think of it.  

That all might seem like a scattered strategy and not a plan at all. And it is. But it's working. When someone goes searching the net on terms associated with these places, they come up with our material into the mix. And the more people are talking about it, the more variety of information and viewpoints. Already, a lady in MD came looking for info on a particular outfit because she was conserned about her pastor who had a son in the program and who'd been doing a lot of recruiting. We were able to give her enough compelling info on the background of this organization for her to effectively undo his recruiting and alert his church and congregation to the trouble he's in.

Bottom line is that these places exist and are thriving because our society will tollerate it. That has to change. No one can make it change just to their liking. But if more people will get into the mix, things will gradualy come back into line with the will of the people.


-If there's a worse idea going than locking kids up for victimless crimes, it's probably locking them in close proximity to some tyrannical altruist bent on helping them even if it kills them.

Ok. Believe me when I say that if Alex, called me or contacted me to get him out I would do it, but he is an extremely strong individual and since his letter home to his parents was according to my info, mostly an explanation of why he should not have been sent there since his mother is the one who has most of the problems in the family, and he says he is doing ok, I am inclined to believe that the letter is genuine, and so it has put my mind at ease at least to his safety and general wellbeing. He will be 18 very soon anyways so it is not like he could be on his way to a lockdown afterwards for 3 years or something terrible like that.  That brings me to the reallly sad parts of this industry, the kids who spent 13-18 in those hell holes in Samoa and Jamaica on starvation diets, electric shock torture, and all the other things they can't get away with here. Even though the laws and their enforcement are severely lacking, I have little doubt that the kids sent to lockups on foreign soil are in far deeper a hole. Still being brainwashed and tortured in one country is probably about the same as being brainwashed in tortured in another country. I really hope this group grows so that we can someday, hopefully soon, have the resources and numbers to shut these places down permanently.


"One can understand why Kessler said something 'Satanic' takes place in
school. The situation is Orwellian in its reversal of the truth:  Memorizing
is Understanding; Confining the mind is Liberating the mind; Boredom is
Fascination. Flowery words are used by educators without restraint. Words
like 'insight', 'enlightenment', and 'flourishing of the mind' are used to
describe a reality which contradicts them completely"-Bruce Goldberg "Why
Schools Fail"
