I am sure Kat never intended to be insensitive but I do agree with the person who posted that it really probably did need to be brought to light.
It is a tragedy that his son died, it is a tragedy when any child dies. I am sorry for his loss.
I do feel that people who work in these places and who do not have the credentials or the proper approaches should not be allowed to work with children who so desperately need their help.
What a lot of people fail to remember is that every single child, in my opinion, must be traumatized in one way or another from the mere act of being sent hundreds if not thousands of miles away from home to a place as remote as MMS. They lose contact with the outside world and the only people they see, for the most part, are the ones at the school.
This comes at a time when most of these girls are in need of something. Either they are having problems coping at home because of abuses that go on there (and remember that some parents who abuse kids seem to send them away to these places - maybe a way to avoid consequences for their actions, I don't know) or they were having problems in their lives due to drugs, alcohol, and a host of other issues.
The last thing they need is "attack therapy" and people who are not qualified or able to help them deal with the many problems that come through the doors of MMS.
It's a sad thing really.
