The Troubled Teen Industry / MORE Bullshit from Struggling Teens
« on: August 01, 2005, 03:05:00 PM »
Are these two ladies still posting on Struggling Teens?
As I recall, mose is a single lady from NYC with a kid she sent to a WWASPS facility *ages*, i.e., 5-6 years ago. I don't think she ever talks about her relationship with her kid...and I think that's because she doesn't HAVE a relationship with her kid. She is strident, feeling that "send them away" is the answer to every problem. There's a lot of "...let the little darlings deal with that!" sort of hatred in her postings. I'm presuming she doesn't have a real life, because she had more than 3000 postings way back 2 and 3 years ago when I was involved with the forum, trying to rescue my grandaughter.
"Millicent" is another person-without-a-life who loves to encourage parents to dump their kids. Her screen name is in honor of her mother, Millicent. She also spends WAY TOO MUCH time on the forum, happily banishing any kid whose parents she can influence...which is obviously an attempt to vindicate what she did to her own kid (almost consipicuously absent from her life).
I got into it with mose online, rather gently warning that casual conversation in public about how wonderful *ALL* BM facilities are would land some kids in REALLY BAD ones, knowing that WWASPS was generally considered bad by forum participants, and that one could not mention the program by name due to a huge previous conflicting thread which threatened to shut down ST. [mose's answer to anything is "Send 'em away!"] This didn't get me *banished* from the forum, but intitiated the famous "Whistle Stop" icon that now appears at the end of each post. Moderator Jana (with a daughter in-and-out of every program Mom could think of, and at last count, a total loss who never caved to a Program) needs to be told quickly if a poster says anything "harmful" to Lon's business.
