You Anons attacking Karen/defending your program of choice, said things like ::soapbox:: :
Karen. I'll tell you if my child was home on a pass, as yours is right now, I would turn my computer off for the full two weeks and give him my undivided attention and love and heart. This board will still be here when he goes back.
Is he not in a treatment program of some sort? Have you given him more rope than he needs to hang himself? Most "home passes" are designed for the parent/teen to communicate on their issues that are still unresolved.
Does this include drug testing after he comes home from visiting friends?
Pay attention- She SAID:
HE IS NO LONGER IN A PROGRAM. But the one I transferred him to was so different from what you think of as a program - the word hardly fits. HE WAS OFFERED THE OPPORTUNITY TO RETURN AS AN EMPLOYEE, and thats why HE IS LIVING OUT OF TOWN.
********************************
What about that did you not understand? Or did you just jump on the opportunity to slam Karen before engaging your brain.
Are you all choosing to be anon because you don't want to be embarrassed or accountable for your lack of attention to details and the stupid comments you make?
What is it the seminar asks? "How has that worked for you in the past?" Probably not well when your identity was known.
Giving you the benefit of the doubt, read the thread at:
http://fornits.com/wwf/viewtopic.php?mo ... 9&start=10I like Karen's idea- It'd be great if you anons would number off... anon1 anon2 anon3. Or pick a number, any old number.
As they say about Program Parents, more time and money than sense. And it's pretty obvious (by the hoards of you who descended upon us) that you all are getting worried about your gravy train. Dump your kid, and all you have to do is market the program. What a deal !! How long til every kid in America will have had contact with some form of teen warehousing institution? It's a sad day.
