Geez CuG from what you just wrote it's hard to believe you're the same person who wrote:

"You should stop lying. It's too bad I can't dig into the matter further and "expose" people like you who...

CUG I wasn't only referring to your last comment.

Typical MO though.

A person can share what they wish of themselves. It's when a facility is fickle about when they choose to be confidential,...

Ok, so either you're directly involved with AARC, or someone from AARC leaks supposedly confidential information.

Either way it's a breach of confidentiality.

In either event the comments...

I agree.

I'm sure half the people in AARC aren't aware of that. Vause is referred to as "psychologist" in several articles I've read.

According to the College of Psychologists, no one at AARC...

I thought the boy wasn't crossing the road, that he was standing at the side of the road waiting for the bus. The driver and the driver struck him as he went around the school bus.

I was also interviewed by the 5th Estate, many people were, but it's only an hour show and they can only show so much.

They said they had an initial meeting with Vause and planned on coming back...

There goes my coffee!!!

If anyone thinks this kind of treatment in these types of programs isn't a problem, think again.

I'm sorry you don't believe it Tom. But I'm not surprised. If our experience seems like a "tale of sorrow", it's because it IS tale of sorrow. Like Phil Elberg said in the 5th Estate documentary,...

BTW - Levon seemed surprised to see his BEBO... hasn't even looked at it since he was 15.

It's almost 4 years old.

What 15 year old male wouldn't say he's "happiest when having sex"!!!

This is a true testament to the level of confidentiality employed by the AARC and it's followers.

I have to laugh, these AARC/AARC supporters either trying to act like "Joe-Interested-Citizen" or...

CUG - I have no "song and dance" I was pointing out the fact (since you brought it up) that just because someone with a recognizable name supports something that it is necessarily good, using...

No, I'm quite the only person replying in here.

So a judge finds the program to be a good way of rehabilitation and recommends they attend or have an assessment?
You do have me confused about...

CUG - I'm starting to wonder if you are several people taking turns replying on this thread.

Yes, my son was in criminal court. I've already discussed this on page 2 where I say:

"I withdrew...

"You also said that a judge awarded custody to AARC without your consent"

No actually I didn't say that at all.

I said the judge sent him to the program without my consent. Attending the...

Well CUG, I didn't do any of those things listed as reasons why a parent would get terminated.

It sounds like you don't believe me? I can't think of a lot of reasons why I would come onto this...

CUG - I think the answer to that is obvious.

But I'll spell it out anyway. Those in group "B" are all listed on a handy "AARC Family Phone List" including email addresses.

Those in group "A"...

I just wanted to mention a group on facebook for those who are not huge fans of AARC.

I gotta say again, they can only put so much info in one episode.

There are plenty of pro-AARC articles and shows out there that don't portray the negative side at all.

I find it amusing that...

From what you're saying then PUG your statement from before would reflect that same high school "drama" crowd and why should we listen to any of it?

"for every negative account of the place, I...

CUG

You have to bear in mind and try to understand that anyone who would speak out about AARC, have been through a LOT.

It's really easy for the current members of AARC to come on a forum and...

I have to comment too on the "qualified staff".

This list has changed immensely since we started the program. I would be EXTREMELY skeptical of the qualifications and of how much time any of these...

Lots of reasons.

I withdrew consent in court for my son to continue in the program at the very first review in court.

The judge who's husband is on the board of directors for AARC sent him back...
