An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

As of August, Midwest was still with WWASP.   When I went to Discovery, all the schools were there.  Dont be fooled!

I was asking the anonymous "guest" about how a facilitator can make an inherantly abusive, nonconsentual mindfuck 'good'.

Nice to meet you though, Carol.

No my name is not Carol.

No really!   I actually had a positive experience.  I know some didnt and left the first day.

Has anyone actually confirmed her to be the real deal?  I don't mean yahooing or pm'ing either.  I mean seen a copy of her kid's contract with her signature on it? :lol:

A quote from someone that is a "Guest"  who will not post with a username.    

Do I need to defend further to this?

Both, from what I experience and what I read from other kids. Granted time has passed and things like seminars might not be the same, this all seems kind of weird to me. A 13 year old being sent to TB, and him being on level 1 the whole time, never going to seminars. This sounds like a horrible situation for that kid, he must have been treated pretty bad I imagine. To remain on level 1 for that kind of time, you have to actively resist, and fight it at every step pretty much. For a 13 year old that's surprising, but I can see that happening I guess. For him to be transfered to TB, shocks me, and that's why I am suspicious of trolling. But I will give you the benefit of the doubt. Was he in isolation the whole time? They might have called it something else like special care or something like that. Pardon me if i am out of line, but doesn't this all bother you more? It seems like you are so logical and everything about this. I guess that is why it strikes me as weird.

What I was told why he was transferred to TB, is not what my son told me that happened.   He said cause he was annoying and they didnt want to deal with him anymore.  He was in and out of intervention all the time. They told me that he was total resistant and it was two choices within 24hrs. That was after 3 mths.   They said home or TB.   So we had an emergency meeting of our whole extended family.  We "thought" he was testing the waters and had to prove to him we were serious.  So we sent him to TB.  I have had anxieties ever since he went there.  I was caution and open to all possibilities.  At Tb is was in and out of OP.   He wasnt there more then a day or so and got himself out, not that makes a difference.   I finally saw the red flag and pulled him.   When I finally saw him and spoke with him in 8 mths, I listened to him and could see he was telling the truth.

According to the program my son went through.... Orientation is the first seminar he went through. It was not what you described, it was a 2 day seminar.   Then at Midwest... it was discovery, focus, pc1 ect...    At TB.. they do orientation, which my son went through at Midwest, then they have a one day seminar of accountability that they have to pass to move on.   If they show progress and have positive points they go to discovery.  

I am just sharing what we experienced with the seminars.  The parents start with Discovery right off the bat.

Yes at Midwest he went to Orientation asap cause it was the week after.   He choose out as they say.   He said because he didnt cry enough.   Then he went to the next one.   I was told by his rep at TB that they are more stricter.  They have to go to accountability first, then if they have points and have proven themselves they can go to discovery.  The next one for him was a few weeks ago and he didnt go to it.

No.. he never reached past Level 1
