Chairman Hyde's assistant has said Chairman Hyde has been assigned to review Congressman Miller's Proposed Bill 1738 with Chairman Boehner to determine if they will schedule it for hearing. This bill has not been reviewed. Basically what it would do it require these schools to be looked into- regulated

And the guy is right of course, whats the bill about?
Homeschool is self regulating. The school board is not going to have illiterate useless people living in their homes forever if they don't have a working education policy.

Representative Miller Introduces Legislation to Curb
Child Abuse in Residential Treatment Programs
Bill would affect facilities both in U.S. and abroad
Wednesday, April 20, 2005
WASHINGTON, DC -- Representative George Miller (D-California) today announced new legislation to combat child abuse at residential treatment programs in the U.S. and abroad.
?There is no excuse for placing children in unlicensed programs with badly trained and abusive staff members, which could lead to mental, physical, and sexual abuse,? said Miller, the senior Democrat on the Education and the Workforce Committee. ?It is truly frightening when the very people entrusted to care for and protect children are actually the ones who endanger them. Residential programs for children should be licensed and meet reasonable safety and staff training standards.?
In November 2003, Miller asked then-Attorney General John Ashcroft to investigate the World Wide Associations of Specialty Programs (WWASP), an organization with several campuses in the U.S. and abroad that provides ?behavior modification? programs for troubled youth, for allegations of child abuse and human rights violations.
Miller first requested the investigation after The New York Times ran a series of articles containing the allegations against WWASP. Despite repeated follow-up requests, however, the Department of Justice refused to investigate. Meanwhile, allegations of abuse continued to surface in published news reports. In December 2004 and January 2005, news agencies reported that five U.S.-owned residential treatment centers in Mexico had been closed by local authorities for numerous health violations and for placing children in punishment cells.
In an effort to deal once and for all with the problem of abuse at residential treatment programs for children, Miller today introduced the ?End Institutional Abuse Against Children Act.? The bill would:
provide $50 million in funding to states to support the licensing of child residential treatment programs. States would have to monitor the programs regularly to ensure their compliance with licensing requirements;
establish federal civil and criminal penalties for the abuse of children in residential treatment programs;
expand federal authority to regulate programs located overseas but run by U.S. companies and provide civil penalties for program operators that violate federal regulations; and
require the State Department to report any abuse of American children overseas.
Residential treatment (or ?behavior modification?) programs are intended to help children with behavioral problems, like substance abuse. Miller stressed that many of these programs provide safe, valuable services to children and their families. But he said that stronger legislation was clearly necessary to ensure the safety of all children in such programs ? and particularly in programs overseas, where organizations have moved their facilities to avoid existing U.S. laws.
?Parents are sending their children to these programs because of a promise that they will help resolve difficult behavioral issues, like substance abuse,? said Miller. ?But the way kids have been treated at some of these facilities would make any parent shudder.?
April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month.

i no i cant vote.. i wanted to know what it was for... i wouldnt sign it now after reading it. but its helps. being 17 dont mean shit, im involved and id like to know whats going on in the world.
And now the liberals want to stop President Reagan from selling chemical warfare agents and military equipment to Saddam Hussein and why? Because Saddam 'allegedly' gassed a few Kurds in his own country. Mark my words. All of this talk of Saddam Hussein being a 'war criminal' or 'committing crimes against humanity' is the same old thing. LIBERAL HATE SPEECH! and speaking of poison gas... I SAY WE ROUND UP ALL THE DRUG ADDICTS AND GAS THEM TOO!

what do you mean bad memory? Lauren DeBrock, she was 18 when she left, she stayed alittle to finish the hell of a program or her parents would not take her back. She is from the Greene family (Thats her family name at home... I dont really know what you mean if you say family from CSA)If TCs were interested in treating substance abuse, half the time they'd tell mom "Sorry ma'am, we can't help him. He's not an addict, he's just an asshole.

I will call her, she is at work right now, please tell me about her while she was there, everything you can remember.
Who would believe that a democratic government would pursue for eight decades a failed policy that produced tens of millions of victims and trillions of dollars of illicit profits for drug dealers, cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars, increased crime and destroyed inner cities, fostered widespread corruption and violations of human rights - and all with no success in achieving the stated and unattainable objective of a drug free America?

i dont like the caica woman tho
ive heard some stuff about her from SCL students, seems kind of over eager, too eager and heard interupts alot and is kind of nutty just in general. shrug, just my thoughts.
anyway, anyone here of that CEDU documentary?

be forwarned, most of these organizations that claim to work to protect kids are run by pretty incompetent people, so called whistle blowers that don't move forward or do make progress, but are not the skilled nor very smart, so careful where info you get comes from, recheck the sources.
Heard the same about the woman Isabelle. heard she
went against CPS in some state supposedly trying to protect kids and pretty much blew their entire investigation. she tried to be this knight in shingin armor but instead fucked everything up, read flags everywhere fer sure. But they do have senators, probably they dont know, theyre just a name far as i can tell. maybe just the lady who runs it is a little loopy and the others who work with her are legit. so sad, just like all the others!
