That about sums it up. Thank you Dan. Please keep telling your story, it is a important one to hear. For those of you out there who are non-believers......you're in denial. TB is god awful, and parents who send there kids there........not only do I hope you die a slow painful death......but kiss your relationship goodbye with your child. Very rarely am I this mean.......but I cannot stand the fact this place is still permitted to run the way it does. It's crazy, and when you tell the story people don't believe you because it's so messed up, surely somebody would step in and put there foot down? Nope, they haven't. Nope, there is a good chance they never will, and for all you parents who get suckered by the glossy brochures, shame on you.
And to Dan.........I know I had it way easier then you buddy. I was in CCM back in 89-90. They threatened to send me to a wilderness camp where I would never be heard from. I ran, I made it. Had TB been in place......guess where I would have been? Stuck there, probably killing myself. Where am I today? After my Aunt, and Uncle rescued me when I turned 17 in St. George they gave me a real loving home, and I was able to be part of a healthy family. I now am married, and have everything I want in life. But, it was not an easy road. People never believe me either what I went through. I went in when I was 12 to Heritage School, in Provo Utah I spent 3 1/2 years there, and then was transfered to Cross Creek Manor where I spent 9 more months. I feel your pain, and wish you all the best.
