everything they are saying about thayer is true. i just "rescued" my son from there yesterday after only having been there a week. in talking to the family rep every day (which you arent supposed to do) i knew something wasnt right. they give you this long list of things to bring, but dont give it any of it to the kids. i.e, three tubes of toothpaste....you know what my son used? baking soda and water. their so called "healthy balanced diet", his breakfast yesterday....wheat seeds and water....why? because wheat expands and gives the illusion that you are full, so they dont have to feed them more..lunch was ONE peanut butter and jelly sandwich...dinner was some kind of slop that he wasnt even sure what was in it.
how do they call that healthy?
he was soooo hungry when i picked him up yesterday he ate the following: chicken nuggets, french fries, two fruit salads, chicken strips, burritos, candy bar, potatoe chips and two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches..and was STILL hungry, but i wouldnt let him eat more for fear of getting sick from over doing it.
he has bruises and cuts all on his body, and he was only there a week. his left ankle is swollen up like a baseball, but yet they kept working him to death...his chest hurts so bad that he has difficulty breathing (probably from the repeated slams to the floor for looking someone in the face). i was so worried about his breathing, especially after the reyes incident, i spent half the night just watching his chest last night.
this is ridiculous and needs to be stopped! thank goodness i came to my senses (call it mother's intuition) and went and got him after only a week.
he was crying so hysterically when he saw me yesterday that he couldnt even talk and was literally choking himself on his tears!
pitifull!
