I mean, what the fuck? Rebirthing? You diagnose a 10-year old girl from a broken home as having some vague psychobabble syndrome called Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). You then decide that what is needed is some New Age claptrap called a rebirthing ceremony, where four full-grown adults wrap you in a blanket and sit on you. You ignore her complaints and she drowns in her own vomit.
I mean, RAD? Doesn't it occur to anyone that they might just be BAD PARENTS?! But no, of course not, it's always Someone Else's Fault. Even if it's the child's fault. No, I'm not fundamentally incapable of bringing up another human life, it's little Billy's fault, he has RAD. Probably from, uh, television, yeah! TV is to blame! Let's go on Jerry Springer or try to get something like, I dunno, Will & Grace banned, in fact do anything but admit any sort of personal responsibility for one's life and actions!
OK, went off on a bit of a tangent with that rant, but I must admit I do feel better. 8)

Don't worry, you're quite right, in my opinion. This "rebirthing" is just the result of some money-spinning dickhead's imagination. It makes me sick to think of what people will try to do to make money.
And I agree with what you said about people failing to take responsibility for their children's upbringing. At least it's good to see that this is recognised in the courts for what it is, child abuse.

This is one of the many reasons I dislike the "New Age" mentality and much of what goes with it.
These people shouldn't have been allowed to practice in the first place, that's what "unlicensed" should make immediately obvious.

But NOT all. In fact, probably not even a majority.

Not all people molested as children go on to molest as adults? I'd agree with that. They usually act out in various ways, however: if not molestation, then sexual promescuity.
But the point I'm trying to make is that when one is influenced in such a way, it is partly the parents' responsibility. If an adult knows good manners, it's usually because of his parents. OTOH, if an adult has a criminal record, it's a good guess that his parents had criminal records as well.

It's amazing how SICK AND TWISTED some people are. i just read that some lady in the states left her 3 month old baby with a stranger at a bus stop. and this rebirthing thing? How the hell does it help people? usually when a bunch of heavy people sit on you, IT HURTS!
