Parents, do your research!

From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:


Teens learn to face consequences at reform school


This article, written by solid reporter, touches on one of my basic pet peeves. Parents who abdicate responsibility for their children and dump them at a boot camp/ reform/ therapeutic school or any such institution where you pay strangers to deal with your kids.

If you can't stand your child, and are determined to get rid of her or him at one of these schools, please, please, at the very least do your research. Google the school or look them at the International Survivors Action Committee. Better yet, enter family therapy, so you don't face a lifetime of resentment once your child gets out.

Hi Julia,

I was very impressed with your book and wrote a review for a Dutch magazine.

(both in Dutch).

I sincerely hope your book will be published in Dutch as well.
