Thankful to @_indoctrination @RBernsteinLMFT for the interview. You can listen to the first part here:

Excited to begin the “writing to reckon” class with #IGotOut #writerslife

When we label children as "bad kids," we make it easy for society to ignore them. Colby Bray should still be alive. Both the #juvenilejustice and #troubledteenindustry have taken lives through medical neglect before. Enough is enough. ✊ #justiceforcolby https://t.co/g1A4LnMBpv

NEW EP! Listen to today’s episode with Beth Matenaer.

abuse and neglect are inevitable at troubled teen programs if staff is underpaid & untrained & "tough love" is seen as acceptable. https://t.co/oU580vVOg7 problem is, you can't make a profit if you have truly qualified staff

As a rule I don’t insert myself into conversations where I am not known to the participants. But I guess I’m joining the 2000’s and the conversation today. #socialmediamarketing #insertions #dildo

I’ve been #BreakingCodeSilence, working a decade b4 even publishing abt what @ParisHilton is doing. 1 tweet via a @StephenKing or one influential #librarian 2recommend genre books in college course catalogs 4 #education could alter policies re the #TroubledTeenIndustry

Just learning about the torture and abuse of children in the Troubled Teen Industry thanks to #ThisisParis? Your government and legislators already knew. They knowingly, willingly, and deliberately permit and allow it. Hold your federal, and local, legislators accountable.

1 minute trauma. This 1st post won't remain public. Launched Patreon just now! Kick a few bucks at me. Been breaking the code of silence for years! Welcome newbies.

Watch this excellent 15m short film. https://t.co/iy0DHDjqVx We're getting back to work because Paris is lovely this time of year. #scriptchat #CEDU #troubledteenindustry #writerslife #breakingcodesilence

Actually @StaplesStores . Guess this means I’m back to work. In my line though, I never get to lightheartedly chirp “That was easy.” #writerlife #scriptchat

Experimental treatments where abuse was the therapy, is an untold tale of pseudo science. Collectively, the people that lived through it have hundreds of years of understanding that researchers will never have. Just sayin'.

No more endless wars.

You shouldn't lose your health insurance if you lose your job. You shouldn't lose your health insurance if you get divorced. You shouldn't lose your health insurance if you turn 26. You should never lose your health insurance. Medicare for All now.

The criminalization of marijuana has been a disaster. We need to legalize it. We need to expunge past convictions. And we need to invest in communities destroyed by the war on drugs.

There's a special on for my two published books. A CEDU Memoir is free until Xmas! #Giveaway #eBooksForAll https://t.co/SLHfVKfutQ And for the first time ever, a big price drop for the sequel called Overwritten: https://t.co/upsxrhG6Qf Download to your device - Read away!

Deprivations and abuses occur in all varieties of teen residential settings, mostly but not always in the U.S. Much bigger and broader than the evangelical, new-age CEDU, and even the Troubled Teen Industry. Researching the historical allegories is fun. #Education #scriptchat
