Parents Took Discipline to the Extreme

Robert Hohn and Shannon Watterson allegedly redesigned their 12-year-old son’s room for one deeply disturbing purpose.

My two cents:

Trauma Bonds

The story above is a perfect example of traumatic bonding. The worse one is treated in childhood, the more they become bonded with their abuser (even if the bond is formed in hate-or unconditional love/fear from the child) and the kicker is; once a child is traumatized, they become ‘energetically’bonded to future relationships, friendships and work-places, with people who have the exact same abusive energy as their original abusers!

In this case it’s clear to the child that he’s being treated badly, however, the problem with Trauma Bonds is that those who were raised with functioning Malignant Narcissists or highly functioning pathological Psychopaths, the abusive bond formed is unclear to the child, including once that child is grown!

What happens then is that the young adult, or full adult will one day recognize that they have a history of bad relationships behind them, one more painful than the next! And one day.. after repeated contact with highly functioning Malignant Narcissists and or highly functioning pathological psychopaths one will have reached the point of suicide, and if they hold on…one more minute that’s when it’ll happen! They will break down the maladaptive, dysfunctional Ego (Inner protector) which was put firmly in place to survive an abusive childhood and surrender!

Upon surrender, the ready to end it all adult will look within! Once they have broken down their protective Ego’s they will be forced to see that they’ve lived a very uncomfortable, painfully comfortable life of repeated abusive relationships! Then and only then, will the adult be open to the fact that they’ve been caught up in some kind of sick abusive cycle their entire lives! The stories will all have been different enough to make the connection hard, but the feelings that each story produced will be the exact same!

This type of maladaptive, unsuitable or counterproductive behavior looks to outsiders like, one is ‘Short Circuiting’, because it is behavior that is inappropriate to a given situation. So, one caught in Traumatic Bonding, may have had one or two people in their past that recognized their dysfunctional self-sabotaging ways and brought it to their attention, but the firmly in place inner protective Ego, will not allow the person to see or accept that they’ve played a role in their own life of abuse! Usually one will be in such a deep denial that they can-not see reality as it is.

Here this innocent child, has been locked in a room, with only a lamp, not even a lamp shade, no bed, no other furniture, nothing to keep warm, little to no food.. no outside contact with friends or anyone that could help him- he finally breaks free, and runs nearly a mile to an old schoolmates home.. and when his friends mother answers the door to find him freezing without shoes or a jacket in December. The boy still refuses to tell the truth, in an effort to protect his abusive parents!

This type of protective behavior is what Mental Health Professionals call personality disorders!

Patrick Carnes wrote a book on this type of self-sabotaging behavior and called it, “The Betrayal Bond; Breaking Free of Exploitive Relationships.” In which, he concludes that "Loyalty to that which does not work, or worse, to a person who is toxic, exploitive, or destructive to you, is a form of insanity."

Some of the signs are "misplaced loyalty, inability to detach, and self-destructive denial." Then, the punch line, “You will never mend the wound without dealing with the betrayal bond." Time won't heal it, compulsive or addictive behaviors won't numb it away, therapy won't cure it, spirituality won't work...none of it will help unless you confront the trauma bond itself. ~ Adapted from the book, “The Betrayal Bond; Breaking Free of Exploitive Relationships.”

There are many others (myself included) who have been on the edge, and have broken down to the point of ending it all.. and have miraculously come back from the edge.. willing to look within, and finally accept & heal their Trauma Bonds!

It’s nothing to be ashamed of, it happens to innocent children who grow into innocent adults every day! If you feel that you may be Traumatically Bonded to people who hurt you..

INDIANAPOLIS —

An Indiana woman whose young son was abducted 19 years ago was screaming and "jumping up and down" after learning he was living in Minnesota under a different name, her husband said Thursday shortly after police announced they had found him.

Richard Wayne Landers Jr. was just 5 years old when he and his paternal grandparents, who were upset over custody arrangements, disappeared from Wolcottville, a town about 30 miles north of Fort Wayne.

Indiana State Police said the now 24-year-old Landers was found in Long Prairie, Minn., thanks in part to his Social Security number. His grandparents were living under aliases in a nearby town and confirmed his identity, investigators said.

Police declined to say whether the grandparents would face charges, citing the ongoing investigation.

Landers' mother, Lisa Harter, was "jumping up and down for joy" when investigators told her a few days ago that her son had been found, her husband Richard Harter told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.

He said his wife is "the happiest woman on earth."

Harter said he and his wife were working with an attorney and hoped to reunite with his stepson soon.

Police said Landers is married and expecting his first child.

Harter declined further comment and referred questions about the case to his attorney, who didn't immediately return phone messages Thursday. Investigators declined to release the names under which Landers and his grandparents had been living.

Police said the boy's paternal grandparents, Richard E. and Ruth A. Landers, abducted him in July 1994 because they were "upset over pending court proceedings" regarding his placement.

Police spokesman Sgt. Ron Galaviz said it appears the boy's father was never in the picture. Lisa and Richard Harter had married a year earlier.

Authorities believe the grandparents took the boy from their home in Wolcottville and fled. They were charged at the time with misdemeanor interference with custody, which was bumped up to a felony in 1999. But the charge was dismissed in 2008 after the case went cold.

Investigators reopened the case in September when Richard Harter turned over the boy's Social
Security card to an Indiana State Police detective.

That turned up a man with the same Social Security number and date of birth living in Long Prairie, Minn., about 100 miles northwest of Minneapolis. A driver's license photo for the man appeared to resemble Landers, police said.

Indiana State Police then contacted Minnesota law enforcement agencies, which began investigating along with the FBI and the Social Security Administration.

The grandparents were found living in nearby Browerville, Minn.

"By all accounts, it didn't appear he suffered from any abuse, either physical or mental," Galaviz said.

My Comment:

This story is awesome one the one hand, and horribly sad on the other! It's phenomenal that this young man's mother has closure and her son is alive!

It's an outright shame that society is so unaware of, or blatantly turns a blind eye to psychological abuse! This young man has without a doubt suffered severe psychological abuse at the hands of his grandparents who felt entitled to take him from his mother in the first place. Granted, I do not know the circumstances behind the kidnapping, however the circumstances are irrelevant compared to the psychological damage done to a 5 year old that was taken from his mother’s life!  

There is no way a child ripped from the only parent he knew could possibly feel loved enough, or good enough, or worthy enough once he was told whatever lies he was told insofar as why his mother was not in his life after the kidnapping!

Additionally, when a child does not feel loved enough, or good enough, or worthy enough they must create inner protectors to keep them sane, safe and secure in a world. Those inner protectors do not age, they stay at the age they were created, and become that child’s personal body guard throughout life- regardless of the growing child’s chronological age, distorting reality, living in denial and making use of every or any defense mechanisms available to the child throughout life, so that the child, young adult, adult will never has to feel that horrific emotional pain in which the inner protector was created to protect him from in the first place.

Please people, it’s time for us to stand up as a society and demand that psychological abuse be punished if not more severely than physical abuse, at least equal to physical abuse..  Because, those whose lives will forever be dysfunctional due to unacknowledged psychological abuse, will suffer after each respective abusive relationship that they cannot help but draw to themselves.

As sad as it is, that’s how abuse and dysfunction work; one will forever reenact the dynamics of their childhood abuse, over and over, and over again.. until they deal with the skeletons in their closets; the ghosts who keep calling the person back to be set free!

The only way of setting the inner protectors free is by acknowledging that they were not loved in a healthy, nourishing way as children. And doing the work of going back, and if need be, one must go back in their own mind as the adult they have become, and they must allow the inner protector to take a breath of fresh air, and be allowed off duty, so that the child can be shown inner love by the adult they have become. (Self-love) Otherwise, that inner protector will be given labels which coincide with the mental health fields personality disorders, and in one way shape or form, that inner protector will be numbed into silence, whether it’s via street drugs or drugs given to them via the big pharma companies!

TeenScreen Hammered Out of Existence

KWQC News 6 (Davenport, Iowa)

National Suicide Screening Program Ending In Camanche

By Mark Stevens

Nov 29, 2012

A suicide screening program just getting started at Camanche Middle School will shut down in two weeks.

The program is run out of Columbia University in New York.

Just this week, it called Teen Screen affiliates across the country to let them know the private donation that’s funded this program is ending.

TeenScreen will shut down on December 14.

Leaving five school districts in Clinton County looking for a new option.

“It’s essential for us to be involved in our entire community to be providing these services to our middle school students, it’s a way to show the community we are addressing the issue of suicide,” says Camanche Middle School Principal Justin Shaffer.

He says Teen Screen is well received in his school. 95 parents signed their seventh and eighth graders up to be screened earlier this month. Shaffer says that number shows Camanche is serious about this sensitive issue.

“There have been a large number of Camanche individuals whether they’ve been adults or kids that have chosen to commit suicide and we want to intervene as soon as possible,” says Shaffer.

About half the students will get through the Teen Screen program before it shuts down. The rest will have to wait until a new option can be found. Camanche schools At-Risk Coordinator Josh Davis says it’s too important a test to let go, “your son or daughter gets tested for hearing or vision, but the mental side doesn’t always get to the whole populations.”

“All of us partners that have been offering this throughout the United States can longer implement the program,” says Teen Screen coordinator Jocelyn Meyer.

 the rest of the story…

 Thanks to all those who helped hammer TeenScreen out of existence.

Obviously, the school principal, Justin Shaffer, in the below story didn’t get the memo on the unscientific and dangerous nature of mental health screening of children.

For you veterans who led the vigorous national pushback, perhaps you’d like to get in one last lick on TeenScreen.  For you newcomers that never had the opportunity, this is a chance to take your very first swing.  

You can write to the school superintendent, Mr. Thomas Parker here: thomas.parker@camanche.k12.ia.us

Just impart your knowledge - politely!  "Mental health screening" (TeenScreen or not) is a complete scam.   It lands kids in front of a psychiatrist with a prescription pad.

Mystery Shrouds Suspensions at Staten Island High School

 

 

UPDATE: November 20th 2012

Mystery Shrouds Suspensions at Staten Island High School

By Stephen HartStaten Island Advance

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- When the Tottenville High School football team plays defending champion Lincoln in their PSAL semifinal playoff game on Saturday, it will be without four football players suspended from play for the rest of the season due to what both the school's principal and the head coach labeled "a violation of team rules."

The suspensions come in the wake of the suicide of a sophomore at the Huguenot school.

Speculation raged on social media and among Felicia Garcia's friends that her very public suicide was tied to teasing she endured following an alleged sexual encounter she had with some members of the football team. That teasing was pinned on two students not on the football team, both of whom were later removed from Tottenville, according to sources.

When asked if the suspension of the four players was in any way related to the situation regarding Miss Garcia, 15, Principal John Tuminaro said, "I'm not making that connection. People can make their own connection." Tuminaro told the Daily News, "There may have been some connection. But to put this at the door of particular players would be incorrect."

Tuminaro stressed that "there are no criminal charges" pending against the four players.

"Coach [Jim Munson] and I met with the parents of the students not playing, and this is what we decided we needed to do. I wish I can share more," Tuminaro said.

Neither Munson nor Tuminaro would reveal the identity of the players involved.

Conspicuous by their absence during the Pirates' first two playoff wins were the team's top two offensive players, Augustus Edwards and Malique Belfort.

"I told these guys I wouldn't give their names out. It's just that these other two guys are in a bad spot" because of their high-profile status on the team, Munson said.

Belfort, reached via his Facebook page, declined comment; Edwards could not be reached.

"They will not be playing for the rest of the year," confirmed Tuminaro of the four players, whom Munson labeled "inactive."

The principal emphasized the action was taken, in part, to alleviate pressure on the remaining members of the football team.

"Our school community suffered a real tragedy on so many fronts," Tuminaro said. "If certain people made mistakes along the way, it will be dealt with. I just felt upset because the Tottenville football program has taken so much criticism.

"We just thought it was the thing to do, with what we know."

Tottenville's first playoff win -- a 28-0 victory over Island rival New Dorp -- was its first since a 16-8 win over Port Richmond on Oct. 19.

Four days after that victory, Miss Garcia ended her life by jumping in front of a train at the Staten Island Railway's Huguenot station in full view of schoolmates. A day after the 15-year-old's death, word spread throughout the school and on social media that Miss Garcia may have been the victim of bullying or taunting after she was said to have had an encounter with members of the football team at a postgame party following the win over Port Richmond.

The claims led the NYPD to investigate the situation.

"And it is still an open investigation," Tuminaro said. "They are still looking into several factors.

There's a lot to the story that people don't know about that I can't comment on."

Two law enforcement sources said there had not been any developments in the case. One said no videos or pictures had turned up in subpoenas of cell phones and other devices so far, and that it was unlikely charges would stem from any of the actions of students or football players.

Just before her death, Miss Garcia was in peer mediation at school with counselors for much of the day, her friends had said. The mediation stemmed from Miss Garcia's interactions with two students, who were not football players, but had teased or said mean things to her about her encounter with the players, the source said. One of them had been a close friend of Miss Garcia's.

Those two students have been removed from the school, the source said.

The city Department of Education refused to comment on any expulsions or football suspensions that resulted from the incident.

"We cannot comment because this remains an active investigation. We cannot compromise the investigation," Department of Education spokeswoman Margie Feinberg said.

When word surfaced of the alleged postgame incident following the win over Port Richmond, it led many to denounce the Tottenville football team through social media outlets. As a home game with Curtis drew near, both Tottenville and Curtis decided to move the contest from the original Oct. 26 date to Oct. 28; then the game was shifted not only to Oct. 29 but to Curtis' St. George field, where it was to have been played without fans in attendance.

Munson acknowledged at the time that "there were safety concerns for our young men. Our principal thought it would be better to play Monday at Curtis with no spectators. There has been a lot of anger directed toward the team."

But with Hurricane Sandy forecast to hit the area that same day, Tottenville took the unique step two days before the makeup date of canceling the contest and accepting a forfeit loss, giving the Pirates their first blemish on the year.

While Tottenville High School was "hectic" in the words of Tuminaro, dealing with its role as a shelter for storm victims, a decision was made at some point during that span regarding the four players.

Kablam!!! Teen-Screen Dead! Kapow!!!

 

Today I recieved an email from records@psychsearch.net.
 
Because I feel it's important to share the information they provided me...
Here goes..

TeenScreen is dead, according to their website TeenScreen.org.

Their announcement: "We are sorry to inform you that the TeenScreen National Center will be winding down its program at the end of this year. Accordingly, we will no longer train or register new programs. We will provide updates on the TeenScreen website for a limited time with respect to any other screening programs of which we become aware.”

TeenScreen was a huge program for psychiatrists. This was their massive plan intended to infiltrate every school and mentally screen every kid in the United States. It was THE program the psychs were counting on to get their hands on every child in America - so that the next generation would all become their victims.

And now - it is dead.

We dealt TeenScreen various fatal death blows from which it never recovered and that ultimately led to its demise. We won the internet fight. On Googlewe never relinquished the top 2 or 3 spot when searching for TeenScreen. We defeated TeenScreen on YouTubeby never giving up the #1 spot when searching for TeenScreen. We worked with the press across the country and had a massive number of stories published. We informed schools who booted it out. This all spawned coast to coast demonstrations.

 

 

 

 



Thanks goes to the legal team at the Rutherford Institute, writer Evelyn Pringle, the Eagle Forum and all those groups from many walks of life, nationwide, who fought this.

Protest, Washington, DC - July 1, 2006

TeenScreen was a very controversial national so-called "diagnostic psychiatric service", aka suicide survey; done on children who were then referred to psychiatric treatment. The evidence suggests that the objective of the psychiatrists who designed TeenScreen was to place children so selected on psychotropic drugs.

TeenScreen was originally investigated and exposed by PsychSearch.net when there was ZERO negative information on the net. We were informed about TeenScreen by Sylvia DeWall, a Clearwater event promoter who was alarmed after seeing a TV news report, where the Florida Mental Health Institute was attempting to implement TeenScreen in Pinellas County schools. DeWall’s alarm was justified.

TeenScreen’s pharma connected Director Laurie Flynn had her sights set on Pinellas’ kids. This was revealed in one of Flynn’s emails to a Florida official, which PsychSearch.net obtained in a public records request: “I’m looking for a horse to ride here!” and “I need to get some kids screened”. PsychSearch.net investigated and the resulting expose’ led to a firestorm of emails to Pinellas County school district officials from concerned citizens protesting TeenScreen. This resulted in Tampa Tribune and St. Petersburg Times stories and the Pinellas County school board booting TeenScreen out.

The controversy was then off to the races as it exploded on the World Wide Web and spread across the country spawning media across the country as school after school rejected TeenScreen. We lost track of how many reporters we provided documentation and quotes to.

Recently we have been tracking the departures of TeenScreen’s directors Laurie Flynn and Leslie McGuire. One source close to the scene said that Flynn and McGuire left with disagreements over policy issues. The source said that psychiatrist Mark Olfson was the “interim director” who we discovered only showed up once a week on Wednesdays for one hour!

What has been happening at TeenScreen has been hush-hush. Even one of TeenScreen's National Advisory Council members, psychiatrist Joe English told us. "Your e-mail is the first information I have on what may have happened here."

Thanks to all of those Clearwater area folks who were there in the beginning, went to battle and kicked butt! See Video

Maybe you can spot yourself or your friends in this photo: 

 

 

 

 

Special thanks goes to those I call the TeenScreen Dream Team, Sandra Lucas in Salt Lake City, who offered public relations guidance and political strategy; Doyle Mills, Clearwater, Fl who commanded the Letters to the Editor Attack Force (LEAF) and wrote articles himself and Sue Weibert, Buffalo, New York, investigator and google-fu master. And a very special thank you to my good friends Michael and Teresa Rhoades, who fought with the fury you would expect from parents whose child was mentally screened without their permission.

Teresa and Chelsea Rhoades:

 

 

We have never really tooted our own horn, but today, for your enjoyment, we solemnly play Taps. (wink wink)

To the psychiatric adversaries in our path – get a head start on your counterparts - surrender now!

I am not kidding.

Billionaires Dump Stocks. Prepare For Total Disaster...

Dear Concerned Reader,

Fearing the very worst, the nation's super-rich are unloading their stocks at an alarming rate.

Even more troubling, the wealthiest 1% of Americans are the ones most anxious to sell. (The ones who typically know the most.)

Clearly, they're taking absolutely no chances with the looming Fiscal Cliff.

The bigger question is this…

Who's to Blame for the Fiscal Cliff Nightmare?

The poll results are likely to shock you.

Cast your vote now to see what America thinks.

Blame President Obama?

Or blame Congress?

Thanks for your urgent time on this matter.
