Saying that you need to walk a mile in their shoes is my way of saying that you cannot begin the process of "going by what little information is available" until you fully understand life with a special needs child, be it RAD, ADD, ADHD, ODD, CD or any of the other behavior disorders. This is not me being "emotional" - it is me giving the benefit of the doubt in having read more on the disorder than just the "quackery" aspect to which you appear to have fully pledged yourself.
LIVE with a child who has one of the above disorders and THEN debunk their therapies as crap. Go on - I dare you :-)
If it the case that the public shouldn't take an opinion, then people shouldn't appeal to the general public to have an opinion.
1. All of your point have absolutely NOTHING to do with the issue at hand i.e. whether or not CPS is persecuting these people. And besides, one doesn't have to live with an RAD kid to know that there are a whole bunch of crap RAD therapies any more than I can know that beating kids with a belt is not an effective form of discipline without ever having done it myself.
