My Son At Thayer
BuzzKill:
This is very interesting Ginger.
Seems a good beating might result in this; or excessive exercise, even.

Now the medical authorities in Missouri are in on some big "conspiracy" along with Thayer????
I can't help it if some generalized internet resource didn't talk about spider bites as a cause of rhabdomyolysis---all you have to do is google the kid's name and "spider" and you get a bunch of news and other reports that this was the cause---based on autopsy and health department reports
From what I read, the people who criticize Thayer are talking about not recognizing the condition and getting it treated in time: this is at least a realistic point, a question of fact, as they call it in the law: and it needs to be considered.
Sounds like it will be considered in the court case that the parents are bringing and if the school was negligent in missing the diagnosis they will pay dearly to the parents and in their reputation.
I don't see anybody (except maybe you people at this site) coming up with Thayer as a cause of the boy's condition
You know what though: I'm done with you---taking my own advice that I gave to Nemo---there's no intent of communication here, no interest in mutual understanding--just an unhealthy mix of paranoia, purposeful misunderstanding for whatever reasons, ignorance, and smart ass remarks
Just haven't got the time for it when there are parents who really want and need help. That's where my energy is, not in meaningless negative debates
As always I'll be keeping an eye on reports of abuse at any school I might recommend---particularly if such reports comes from a rational, believable source.
Might be a good idea to remember, just for future reference: not every tragic thing that happens, is a crime, negligence, or even reasonably forseeable: thinking otherwise is how the country went so sue-crazy and why tort reform is just around the corner
The Liger:
People always the say the same thing when they're losing an argument. "I'm done here. You people clearly can't see how brilliant I am."
I've been watching this thread. One side of the argument is researching what they say and making reasoned and rational arguments. Those people are program veterans. The other side keeps repeating, "But it helps some kids," and, "You're irrational," over and over again. Those people are program rookies and bad-parent apologists.
Oh, and one more thing, tort reform is just around the corner because Bushie and his Republican cronies want to help out their insurance company and corporate friends, not because too many people are sue-happy. That's just a stupid thing to say.

If this had happened in a private home instead of a WWASP program, how do you think the judge would take it if the parents pled ignorance. "Gee, your honor, we just didn't know he was sick. We thought he was just a lazy slob, laying there, hardly talking, not even getting up to use the toilet for days."
The question is what kind of environment has to be present in order for one kid after another to be so neglected? Shit, would you recomend sending a kid to Mark Wardle's "new" wilderness program? Long as Utah sells him a license I guess he's OK in your book, huh?
You just don't know what you're doing. You're entiteld to your fantasies. I just wish you'd open up a psychic hotline and leave the kids out of it. That way you can revel in and make big bucks off of your fantasies to your and your consensual adult patrons' hearts' content w/o harming any children.
... and the group leader was a clown.

Not setting aside that what happened to Reyes, have you even considered the allegations I have made regarding my son? The boy who had his ankle fractured on day on 1, first 5 minutes in? Or how about the fact that he IS ALIVE to tell me about being "dragged through teh showers". He never met the Reyes boy, had never even heard of the allegations of this, yet he states it happened to him.
Coincidence? I think not, I think it is a very plausible explanation for the various cuts/bruises my son had on his body when I picked him up. Oh my, the Reyes boy had the same cuts/brusises? What another coincidence.
