?That?s disturbing,?Kanoy said.



But is it child abuse?



?I don?t know,?he said.

You see the group was on a field trip and this girl tried to escape.Whilst hiding in the underbrush she was swarmed by fire ants.The group was in a remote location and the only emergency care available was the natural remedy of soaking the girl in a bucket of urine TO SAVE HER LIFE!
You are such a know-it-all bitch Antigen!

"Why a closed door policy? What ARE they hiding?

Come on...there is abuse going on there."

Understand what the "closed door policy" consists of. It means only that heavy-handed government officials can't march in anywhere and do whatever they want. And even that's mitigated by a court order, as long as there is reasonable cause.

A closed door policy, on the other hand, does not prevent parents from coming in whenever they want. Parents retain all rights of guardianship with programs. The only guardianship the program has is a sort of default custody--meaning they can take care of the student's day to day needs when the parent is not present--and the right to seek emergency medical treatment. So even if programs encourage parents to wait until a certain level or goal for visits, they can actually see their kids whenever they want, as long as there is no custody dispute that resulted in a restraining order.

Wow! Anon, you honestly have no idea how the Program "works", do you? Amazing!

Ok, here's a clue. Most people go through life w/ the mistaken belief that we're generally in full command of our own behavior; that we make sensible, logical decisions based on objective reality.

So, for instance, you would think that if someone treats another very badly, why they'd dislike the abuser and take steps to move away from them. Ask any beaten child or spouse if that's true. The preverse reality is that if someone beats us down effectively, the default behavior is to try ever harder to win that person's favor. Just remember how nearly identical dogs and people are socially. You beat and starve a dog, that dog will do any damned thing it can to please you. It will also wind up jumpy, mean and rather dangerous. But some sadistic bastards think it's worth it.

***A closed door policy, on the other hand, does not prevent parents from coming in whenever they want.

What alternate reality are you living in? I drove to the facility (not TLC) the day before a scheduled parent workshop, happened to see my son and was driving over to say hello. I didn't intend to, or expect to stay. I was intercepted and told to leave and not return until the workshop.
Read the parent information. You will not find an open door policy. Parents are allowed on 'campus' at scheduled events only. If you give them too much flack they might expell your child.
One parent I spoke with was not allowed on the property after she decided to withdraw her son. They required her to meet them in the local WalMart parking lot.
Open door policy my *ss. Who do you think you're kidding?
Ignorant, prospective parents who might stumble onto this thread?
Parents beware. Programs will say anything to get your kid enrolled. After they're in their clutches they will work on your head and attempt to convince you that your kid is much worse off than you imagined and should have limited contact with you, more limited than the deceptive policy statements lead you to believe.
