An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

I guess this is a little late. I just found this forum. I typed in David's name on Google and there he was. I'm so happy to see this, his name, his life discussed. Because I miss him so much. I don't really know how the program changed  him. I met him after. But I do know what they did to him. He told me every fucked up appalling thing. He wasn't a liar. To the point of fault sometimes. That place is fucking sick. He was abused and tortured. He was actually moved midway through the program from Jamaica to S.C. because of the abuse. And his parents still kept him in. Reading his fathers post is nauseating. But I want everyone to know that his goal of, how did he put it?, reaching out to the 30 something woolly and wayward young adults that were at his funeral has been unsuccessful. Some of us are dead, some of us are crazy, married, popping out kids, happy as can be, still lonely and sad. But his father hasnt affected one of us, except to teach us how not to raise a brilliant and independent child. I miss David. Every shitty joyless day without him. We all miss him. Because he taught us how to be awesome, fearless, shameless. and yes loving and honest and happy. But he didn't need a program for any fucking one of those things.
