What Do You Wish To Believe?
Anonymous:
There is a right and a wrong. To sit back, to not take a stand for what you believe, to not take sides, to stand back and do nothing, is to let the things that are wrong to continue.

Lying about this girl's mother will not make the investigation by Dectective Kimball go away. What a shame to stoop so low.

To the anon who started this thread and at least one other:
Look, here's the thing. A lot, probably most, of what's gone back and forth in this forum lately has been low brow, ugly, mean spirited BS. But if you skip past that stuff, you'll find that there are a few, simple and pretty serious issues also under discussion, barely heard above the din.
These issues are not your fault! And "Mama" has no business taking it out on you in any way.
One of the issues I'm interested in discussing is the method of treatment that Whitmore offers. I'll tell you right up front that I hold a very dim view of group therapy, especially w/o meaningful informed consent. One of the problems that I have w/ that treatment model is that you have to secure meaningful confidentiality agreements w/ everyone involved. As we've seen here lately, that doesn't always work out as well as you might initially intend. You kids have no business knowing half the stuff you know about each other, even the bit of it that might be factually true.
You didn't set it up this way. It's just what you were handed. No, you're not the bad guys. I don't even think the Sudweeks or the edcons or the parents involved really thought this through. But I hope they'll start thinking about it now.
If we choose to violate the rights of the innocent in order to discover and act against the guilty, then we have transformed our country into a police state and abandoned one of the fundamental tenants of a free society. In order to win the war on drugs, we must not sacrifice the life of the Constitution in the battle.

Some days, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps.
Mr. Bean:
Now all of you are just stooping down below your imaginations. If you haven't been there for a year then shut your mouth!!! :evil: you have no room to talk. I was there for a year and i know what that place is all about. i am a former student of the Whitmore. They are only trying to do what is right but they are not perfect "no one is" They did stuff that wasn't right but most of it is good. You have to understand that there is no such thing as a perfect place that helps troubled teens, never has and never will be. The Whitmore has helped me so much and advise that you take it from a former student who was there for a year instead of the parents on here who are just mad because of the lies their kids told them in desperasity of doing anything to get back home. You need to think all of this through before you post nonsence on here. I was there for all that drama that happened with the STATE and kids being questioned about things that didn't even happen. Trust me I would not be supporting Mark and Cheryl if bad things were going on there. i am pretty much the most recent kid that left so I know what is going on and what is not. feel free to contact me if you have any question.......... kornfan.mac@mac.com

If it's such a great place, then why are kids desperate to go home?
May your days be joyfully challenging and your words artfully true
