Covergaard has written a blog post about this case and he is angry:
Sometime the fight for human rights feels like a lost cause, Secret Prisons for Teens blogpost, July 14, 2010
I've been pretty busy and haven't been commenting on this drama. My argument here at fornits has been against extremism, and now a lot of posters are posting about how they want to talk about this topic as well, I find this to be a good step in the right direction. By posting this information about a family all the posters did was prove me and other people who talk about extremism on this forum correct.
This is a quote from this blog post:
Sadly she got far from good counseling. At Fornits you find many who have been sent to residential treatment centers when they were children. But it is not all. They were guinea pigs for treatment methods where many have since been banned and sadly also many treatment methods which were just refined but still included methods which would be a criminal offense in many countries. It did cause damage. Fornits does also include poster working for the industry trying to downplay the history of residential treatment. It is difficult to explain how frustrated the survivors are just because they don’t have physically evidence of the damage the so-called treatment has caused. Had they just received a lobotomy then it would be like clear evidence before the court of time.
The problem with Fornits is that the present of the lobbyists from the modern industry is like a red cloth before their faces. The most extreme of the survivors do hold their parents accountable because they pay for their torment. They fail to realize that their parents failed their jobs as parents because they were poorly guided by not only the professionals at the program but also by politicians using youth crime and so-called antisocial behavior to be re-elected. The last 30 years of experiments at residential programs will be something the society will have to pay for the next 50 years.
Some show Morgan’s parents as evil and they decide to create a page targeted against the parents. I have difficulties how to find words for this action. I cannot condemn it enough. While the parents have received poor guidance they don’t need to be attacked in this way.
The argument I'm reading here is that "survivors" of treatment program are so frustrated with not being able to prove to Whooter they were abused, that they have become so angry that these survivors decided to post this families information. This is incorrect, and highly insulting to anyone who posts here who did go to a program. This information was posted by people who did
not go to a treatment program. This argument is insulting to me and probably the other people who went to programs here because it's just plain wrong. I applaud Anne Bonney and the other people who condemned this attack on this family.
I think this has been an important development in fornits psychology, because the actions of these non survivor extremists have opened the eyes of some survivors as to the unrestrained extremism that is posted here and ultimately harms fornits. What parents are going to come here for advice now? None. dysfunction junction spins his usual conspiracy theories, blaming me and Whooter for posting it. Whatever helps him sleep better at night, apparently conspiracy theories and a loaded shotgun do the trick. For dysfunction, rather than seeing this as confirmation of me and Whooter's argument against fornits extremism, he creates his own delusional reality to reassign blame to those more fitting in his mind. But everybody else has reacted in a way that has made me proud, and I don't say that in an arrogant way. I am busy with a new job and will not be able to post here as much or at all anymore, but I am optimistic that a lot of posters here have drawn a line in the sand and are unwilling to be so extreme as to discredit themselves and harm innocent people. I think this is a very good thing.
As far as this organization's blog that has decided to blame the information posted on people who went to a program, so emotionally disturbed they are unwilling to control their rage, this is completely incorrect and should be corrected. The people who posted this information never went to treatment, just as the organization making the accusation in this blog never went to treatment. Yet somehow the blame gets pinned on the people who did go to treatment, something is very wrong with that. It shows "survivors" are not the ones who are so extreme after all perhaps, it is dysfunction junction who seems obsessed with Whooter (dyfunsction is not a survivor) and the people who posted the information are not survivors either. Most of the bullshit on this forum is not posted by so called survivors, but by the other people. I felt the need to post to point this out, for all "Survivors" sake. This will be my last post under the username Suck IT. If I choose to post again it will be under a new username, this one is officially being retired. I am very pleased with the people here for fighting extremism and will choose a more respectful username to show my appreciation. Thanks
