"Sounds to me like your son is playing you. He apparently knows that you will not send him. One thing you have to be careful about is making empty threats. Don't "threaten" to send him if you are not going to follow through with it. My guess is that e obviously has been the target of empty threats before and knows you won't send him, or, that he is using reverse psychology on you and sayig he wouold enjoy it in hopes you WONT send him because it is what he wants.
The main thing is that the children need to learn "consequences" for their actions. You know your child better than anyone here on these boards. Therefore, only you know what consequences will and won't work. You might try talking to a counselor on your own. Sometimes they can be helpful in trying to put consequences in place to help deter the problems you are currently facing.
Basically, the school will strip your son of all privileges (and then some). IU do not advocate the schools because my son was abused in one. This can be accomplished at home. He needs to be stripped of his privileges and EARN them back. Again, this goes back to consequences.
Good luck!"

"He also idolizes that drug addict, RTP2003. I showed him these forums to let him know the kind of things he could expect at the program I was going to send him to, and this just made his behavior worse. He also says he wants to go to one now, that way he can meet a druggie girl and do methadone "just like Scarstruck". He thinks that it would be great to be a rebellious dropout from a program like WWASP or KIDS, that it would somehow add to his "credibility" as a punk rocker, like his other idol, Reagan Youth. I try to warn him that these programs are not some kind of summer camp, and he points out that Froderick13 went through Straight, and "he's cool now". I am at my wit's end! How do I punish my rebellious teen son WITHOUT sending him to one of these programs? It seems like something he would enjoy---maybe not at the time, but it would give him something to brrag about to his friends when he got out."

Actually, those of us who can go out for some drinks, smokes, whatever - and can do so without the feeling that we're doing something naughty - are probably better adapted to life than the hyper-vigiliant, hyper-benevolent and hyper-Christian program drones.
Cheers!

"Kevin Lowe, Sr. Staff during my time in St. Pete Straight, was a fucking prick. He got off on his weirdo power trip and seemed to enjoy fucking with people, particularly if they were small or nonaggressive. He choked some really small kid, holding him up against the wall until the kid passed out. What a tough guy.
He also used to boast of his "occult past" and talked about how he had cast spells and played with ouija boards and how he believed all that shit was real--"the Devil really IS speaking to you through those Sabbath records you druggies listen to", etc. Once he spoke of his use of Tarot cards and how "the cards didn't make any sense when I tried to predict my future beyond age 18.....that's how I know that I would be dead if it weren't for Straight...." It pisses me off to think that some superstitious moron like him had power over us.
What a fucking nut case. I remember him doing some fucked up candlelight rap where he was acting like he was the ghost of fathe rtime or some shit like that, like some Straight inc. version of A Xmas Carol and he was taking you through the ghost story of druggies, past present and future and talking like he was some sort of spiritual guru.
I hear he is married to a former Straight client and that they are involved in some Xtian cult these days. I sincerely hope that he dies an agonizing, horrible death, like maybe lightning striking the church steeple, it falling on him and pinning him to the ground, where weasels rip his genitals apart until he bleeds to death.

"A friend of mine from Str8 (actually, one of only two people I knew from there that I would consider a friend) is coming into town tomarrow. We plan on bar hopping and getting drunk as hell. I helped him get out of Straight. I was going to court (a futile attempt by Straight to have me court ordered) and he gave me a phone # which I stashed in my shoelaces. He was over 18 and being held against his will. I called the number and told them what was going on, and the guy I called got a lawyer for him. He got out about a month or so after I did. Glad I could help. During the last couple of weeks I was there,(Oct./Nov. 1983) we misbehavers/noncompliers formed our own "support group". This helped to dilute the firepower of the Straightlings and left them with two options: Either spend all of their time and effort dealing with us (there were about ten of us at any given time), in which case no one was "getting Straight", or they could remove us from the group, which was what we wanted anyway. There were enough of us to where it was not practical to isolate all of us, so we hung out in intake rooms or the bathroom, enduring occasional confrontations, but mostly talking about what we were going to do when we got out.
I'd like to thank each and every one of you guys (and you supportive girls, too) who participated in our "mass misbehavior" that overloaded the circuits of the group. You made it much more bearable than it would have been otherwise. There was strength in our numbers, and once we reached a "critical mass", there was nothing those assholes could really do about it---and with less and less Straightbots to contain us, our numbers inevitably grew. I appreciate the help and support, and I'm sure J.S. and I will drink a toast or ten to you this weekend. Thanks again! ::cheers:: ::cheers:: :smokin:
