Don't tell me the parent(s) who put a 12 year old at Whitmore didn't know....The website with the pictures of the students...How many were even close to being 12? GIMME A BREAK!
What behaviors would justify placement of a 12 year old anywhere? 12 YEARS OLD...how many of the posters on this forum have done this or have been the result of this ridiculously poor judgment?
Abuse can be a two way street...GET REAL.

Before you going blaming the parent, HOLD YOUR HORSES, Anon.
Are you forgetting this program was referred to the parents by someone who runs a business called PURE and that surely they were aware of the child's age and whether this would be an appropriate placement or not?
Sheesh. Talk about DEFLECTION.

I've seen plenty of kids 11 - 13yo placed in Straight. And I've heard of kids as young as 7 in some places. Yes, it's rediculously poor judgement. Hard to even fathom, really.
But who made the offer and arrangements? Who got paid to deliver this insane arrangement? Isn't it just incredibly sick to go into the business of fucking w/ other people's kids like this?

Yep, very sick and to think, people actually choose to earn their living this way?
:eek:

Zita, you're a very precocious young lady.
Jk, I know this isn't her. But I don't disagree w/ you at all. That's why I always refer to this industry as the troubled parent industry. I don't think the kids who land up in these places are exceptional. Some have issues going in, others don't, not significantly different from any highschool class anywhere. The sole factor that seperates these unfortunate kids from all the rest in this country is poor judgement on the part of the parents.
But what kind of person capitalizes on that kind of poor judgement? People tend to have very poor judgement when it comes to certain addictive substances, too. But do decent people become crack dealers? What kind of person takes advantage of the poor judgement of others in such a way?
There is a difference between shitty parents and people who take advantage of them. Shitty parents have to live for the rest of their lives w/ the dire consequences of shitty parenting. There are no do overs. People who take advantage of them just take the money and run. Then they turn on the marks like rabid jackals when they start to figure out the scam.
Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism--how passionately I hate them!

Sue Scheff lied about the ages of the kids at Whitmore, and continued to LIE saying 3 girls ages twelve-thirteen were being enrolled at Whitmore in the month of November 2004. Anyone like to read Ms. Scheff's emails stating this???
