An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

All I'm saying is to have an open mind and give the good programs that are legitamite a break.

I've yet to see one.


 

I have personally witnessed the positive changes kids have made. We as a program do follow up on our kids for a year after treatment although not all are successful a good percentage are doing much better than pre treatment.

Is this The Who?  :lol:  Who's to say it was due to your "treatment"?  So I guess your answer to whether or not you can point to ANY evidence or research that says what you do works is a big fat no, huh?  Hey, you're the one who said it, I just asked that you back it up with something.  If you can't, just say so.

As to my parenting quote, all I was implying was that something needs to be done because these kids will be parents one day and unless they are taught healthy behaviors they will fail as a parent.

There are a lot of shitty parents out there.  Are you suggesting that we remove all their kids and send them off to "camp"?

Damn, these kids are surrounded by bad influences in this world wether it be in their home, friends, tv, parents, Radio, ect.   Something needs to be done and if a parent won't do it than who ?

Again, it appears that you're suggesting that someone forcibly remove these kids (and who would decide which parents are bad enough anyway).

 

Sure we can wait for them to become adults and they become incarcerated bacause we all know that incarceration will help better than an RTC.

While I understand you're being facetious, you have no idea how true that statement is.

Wait, it's likely they will become productive members of society and live with their parents until they are 30 and finally figure it out themselves.  

Actually, most kids grow out of their destructive, impulsive behaviors.

SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

What?

Very cool Ginger.   :smokin:  ::cheers::

I don't think Fornits constitutes any real attention, but point taken.  It was just nice to finally see her get bitch slapped.

Cathy - I saw the A&E show about Wilderness Camps yesterday.  I had seen it before but hadn't remembered you posting here then.  I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am for your loss.

Woops, mine.

My computer's down and I'm using hubby's.  He doesn't do the IM thing.  PM me if you'd like.  

There is one difference I can think of right off the bat.  The rape didn't fuck with my head and my soul near as much as the BM facility.  At least with the rape I knew what happened to me wasn't my fault.  For years after getting out I thought I pretty much deserved whatever I got in there and then had to suffer after, and that was quite a bit.  But the whole control aspect of it is identical.  Rapists are about control.  These places cannot fuction without the dangerous kind of control over a kid.  That wouldn't enable them to bring about the miraculous changes they claim to produce.  The places do work.  They modify kids' behavior alright, but at what price?

That must have been eerie.  What did you think of it at the time?

Why?  It's more entertaining than the spam and that's the only other thing on here.
