After all the semi serious stuff (it’s as close as I’m gonna get people, deal) I was gonna write something stupid today and take a break. I also wanted to thank everyone for the wonderful comments. I was trying to answer everyone but y’all keep putting stuff up faster than I can respond. I’m not linking to the site in the pic or anything, because I don’t know what to think. I saw this sign on a major road through from the train station home though, and I had to stop.

The big question here is WTF is a “time out bed”? Personally I’m thinking restraints and shit, but I don’t know. Then again, how do you keep unruly teens in one place without tying them down? (that’s a joke by the way)

What bugs me, after reading their site, is that it seems to me they offer basic parenting as a paid service.

  • Individual psychotherapy services
  • Substance abuse service
  • Skill development services, which include the development of:
    • Behavior management skills
    • Life skills
    • Conflict resolution
    • Problem solving skills
    • Anger management skills
    • Decision making skills
    • Crisis management skills
  • Family therapy
  • School-based services
  • Crisis management/stabilization services
  • Positive youth development services
  • Nutritional and health services
  • Service Coordination
  • Medication management

Italic is my reference point here, I’m still really unsure of what to think when I look at the site as a whole. I’m sure there are kids out there that need help, but this comes across with some Clockwork Orange vibe to me. They may be nice people, I really don’t know.
