Comments: Judith Warner Uses Extreme Cases To Get Excessive
I'd like to know Warner's definition of "truly good care." Isn't that the holy grail that we are all looking for and about which we all have such drastically differing opinions? I'm actually guessing that the problem with a lot of these kids who were dumped might be precisely the fact that they did get "care" under current treatment paradigms and that that is precisely why they became completely unmanageable over time. I'm just basing that on what I have witnessed over and over again, not on the facts of the stories in Nebraska but she doesn't do much to elucidate those stories either. Let's be careful what we wish for. I don't think "access to truly good care" is going to be the solution until standard treatment paradigms are radically altered.

Peace be with you
First; towards the bottom of your post there is an "n" missing in "kid."
So let me get this straight. In Nebraska unwanted children are dumped off at the state? Then people wonder why these children have problems? Then this small minority of unusually mean parents and their dump children is paraded as the typical scenario? I'm begining to believe that not only taking anti-psychotics destroys the brain, but aslo perscribing them.

When I see "Judith Warner" I tend not to read...she's a money monkey with a silver spoon up her arse, who listens to her!?
