As I said before, call the CIA and say you got a promising new agent for them."
Ha,Ha, perfect --
This is what I thought, I think eventually you will see that some kids would benefit from a TBS. I dont expect you to admit it (I have been here long enough and know better), but not all kids are placed because of smoking pot or dating the wrong guy as people are telling you here. Many kids are truly at-risk and do very well at these places.
Time will tell."
What are you not understanding here?
You're essentially saying, "Okay, this is a fake story that would never happen, but what if it did?" Then someone says that it doesn't matter, that situation never happens, and you say, "A-ha! So some kids would benefit from a program!"
You're saying if A, then B. I (and others) have said Not A. And you are still saying, okay, Not A, but B. It makes no sense.
How do you get from Point A to Point B? One premise does not a conclusion make.
You're also ignoring that the focus most people on this site have is not on what happens before the program, it's the programs themselves that are inherently bad. People like you come on this site and say stuff like, "But what about 12-year-old drug-addicted hookers with magic powers?" to try to get everyone to sway on where they would draw the line and ignore the fact that, oh wait, we don't need to worry about that. It would never happen. And the programs are still abusive, 12-year-old drug-addicted hooker or not.
