    Back from Camp Consequence

    Wow. That is an old thread which was woken. It was not the latest update regarding the daughter progress after Camp Consequence. Later the daughter spiraled out of control and we sadly never learned what the final outcome became. We look into something similar up in Michigan and also as with...

    Food on the table is necessary. Then we need to isolate when work is over until this China Virus is gone. Be safe.

    Help! Is this normal for a private Residential Treatment Center (RTC)?

    I will be worried about a placement out the country. We look at lot into the program we sent out daughter to and found some incidents where children were hurt and they were investigated thorough by the authorities. Who will investigate incidents in Mexico? And 6 weeks is too much. We were...

    The boot camp we took our daughter was not long or military but she has disowned us and we have not seen her in years.

    Out of Control 15 Year old Boy- HELP!

    Move and start over fresh. We tried a boot camp intervention and we have no contact with our adult daughter. It has been so for years. We believed it was best to keep her at her old school and do the counseling with help from outside. If we knew what we know now, we would have moved to another...

    Therapeutic Boarding School?

    The good thing is that the stress is gone while your child is away. The bad thing is that you have to learn a lot so you and your child don't fall back to old patterns. We didn't choose a longterm program. It seemed to work but then again we have not seen our daughter since she left when she...

    Brexit

    GoingNorth Here are some articles from the UK and Germany. I don't understand German, so I had to settle with English articles: Poland tops league for foreign inmates in UK's overcrowded jails ahead of Ireland and Jamaica with almost 1,000 behind bars (The Daily mail online) One Third Of...

    Brexit

    Ny neighbor was stationed in Germany until last year when he retired. He said that the Europen Union made the mistake to invite what equals Mexico into their version of the United States. That meant that jobs were lost because firms in Germany moved part of their production to Poland, Hungary...

    Does my daughter need Residential Treatment Center (RTC)?

    You need to have her evaluated properly. We never did and the result has been no contact for some years due to our choices of treatment approach. Also there is a risk that the Residential Treatment Center might diagnose her so they can keep her until you are out of money.

    Netflix Documentary NOT to Watch!

    I have read that several countries in Europe have these terrible laws. What if we tranferred such rules to humans? We know what that looked like in the past. I am sad. Consequences and punishment should be based on behavior. Never on origins.

    Daughter is 22 and has cut us out of her life am devastated.....

    At least we know what we did wrong but it kept her in high school. It is awful when it happens out of the blue. What I can say is that life goes on. I pray that we some day will be forgiven.

    No improvement...

    I hope that you are able to figure Pat out. Pat will be one out of too many in the future. There already overweight 2 year olds raised by their parents with help from Tablet-nanny. They are not good socially but good at turning on the Tablet and find the cartoons even before they master full...

    How to get my teenager son into a program?

    There are paid escort services how take the child to states where the laws are different. However I doubt it would help because people have to be motivated for any program to work in the long run. Many programs base their success rate on the status of the teen at the graduation date or only...

    Graduation is right around the corner...

    I remember when we talked about their successrate. It makes sense that it is high when they are kept in sober-living environment where it is hard to leave. That is where the problem is in your home and any other home she might move to. There are more stress and temptation. I have recently read...

    To Our European/British/etc Members

    A European friend from my work was very concerned about the cuts in social benefits. The European Union has been monitored the economy of the European countries for some years after the collapse of Greece. I know that some of the countries have been force to introduce social reforms. Combine...

    A positive update post...

    We had a program in town telling people that they could make 90% successrate. They were raided several times by the authorities who removed the children. I didn't understand it at the time but it had turned out that their methods were very extreme. My brother who went to 2 different places spoke...

    New here... don't know what to do.

    Rehab will only work if he wants to change. Our daugther has disowned us because we sent her to a place for a short time. My brother battled his addiction for years before he cleaned up on his own. I believe he was a in 2 different residential programs. 3-4 months will change nothing. You can do...

    Still looking at residential

    As long as she believes she is in control she will go nowhere. As I stated before, print out pages from transportation services for her to be found. If she believes that there is an alternative then she will make the local choice. If there is not alternative she will remain in her room. Just...

    We have hit turbulence...

    There is a lot of rules which sounds stupid but they have them based on experience. If the clients borrow clothes from each other they could pass drugs around hidden in the clothes. Of course it has properly only happened in 1 case out of 1,000 in some other program but like we are learning from...
