Well, I know nothing at all about these programs. And all the links are negative attacks against them. There's no balance presented.
However, I know there was a time I wanted to have Trevor kidnapped and "reprogrammed." He was over 18 and spirialing downward in a frightening way. He was full of hate and drugs; on a rampage. I feared, rightfully, for his life.
If I had known more when he was younger....It is likely I would do ANYTHING to prevent what has happened to my son. Yes, I would have put him into a program like this. And I don't think I would be sorry -- knowing what has occured without any outside restraints.
You may not like reading this reality. But, I've LIVED the results. I'd like an alternative. Of course, it's speculation, but, it's possible Trevor, and my entire family, would have had a chance at a drug free life.
Shalom!
