I'm not sure how this statement reconciles with this one:

I don't understand why you would say to be "wary" of advice received from parents on this site. ANY advice should be taken in the spirit in which it is given- one family's experience with a program. However, most if not ALL the legitimate parents posting on this site give thoughtful and truthful advice about programs and their own experiences. If you are receiving alarming messages, they are probably not from any of the regular members of this site.

This is quite a dichotomy, Willie. On one hand you exhort readers not to be wary of anything posted on this site, but to completely discount information from another site, even though it is offered in the same spirit.

Upon thoroughly examining this site and fornits, it is without question that the fornits database is far more penetrating (backed up with links and documents) than this one.

I suggest you skip over the coarse language and look for the information you need. You are much more llikely to find the skeletons in the closets of teen-help facilities by searching fornits. Isn't that what's important?

This site, while useful in some ways, presents a very structured, slanted appraisal of the teen-help industry, as it is an extension of a teen program marketing business. In other words (regardless of the validity of certain pieces of information), this site has a "dog in the fight" in the teen-help controversy and it therefore necessarily reflects that bias.

Fornits, on the other hand, is not a for-profit enterprise and, as such has no "agenda" as an earlier poster suggested. Rather, it is a meeting place for those interested in examining the true depth and breadth of information about the teen-help industry, including the heavily suppressed negative aspects of it.

For instance, fornits has posted links to a massive lawsuit against the "flagship" TBS whose owner funded the creation of NATSAP. NATSAP has gotten plenty of positive coverage over the past few days on this site, while this massive lawsuit against its progenitor has been completely and utterly ignored - not even a mention, even though ISAACORP.org (a watchdog group) has reported it and it is on the front page of the Dahlonega Nugget (the local paper where the facility is situated) today.

This salient point dovetails with the above poster's assertion that a program that is currently being investigated for child sexual assault was championed by one or more parents on this site, despite the fact that the lawsuit and investigation are public knowledge (and completely unacknowledged on this site).

Food for thought.

Incestuous Amplification- They believe their own propoganda.

Why is Struggling Teens (ST) trying so hard to discredit Fornits and the people who post here?

Does Struggling Teens really believe that there isn't corruption within their own "industry"? What is to keep them honest? Any credible organization would support a system of checks and balances.
