The TTI refused to release me when my mom wanted them to

Those who have read my blogs will know about how my dad had me forcibly taken to a TTI wilderness program where I endured twelve weeks of sheer hell. That only required the consent of one parent. My mom was completely opposed to it and she contacted the program to demand my release. They refused to release me and told her that they can only release me if both parents agree. There was nothing my mom could do to get me out because obviously my dad was not going to change his mind. Only one parent needs to consent for you to be sent there but you can only be released if both parents consent. How is that right? How is it even legal? It’s crazy.

Reading this made my heart ache — it’s so wrong that a system like this can exist. The injustice of allowing one parent to send you away, but requiring both to release you, is absolutely staggering. Thank you for writing about this — your voice brings awareness to something that should never happen to anyone. You’re incredibly brave for speaking out about it.

I’m out now. Me and my mom have since left my dad and moved to the UK. He was planning to have me snatched again by the TTI. This time I would have been taken to a long term residential facility where I could have been for up to two years. My mom felt that the best way to prevent that was to get out of America altogether. My mom is actually from the UK which is why that’s where we moved to. Since moving here life has been great. As for my dad me and my mom both agree that if we never see him again it will be too soon. I still have alot of inner pain because of what I went through but I am slowly healing from it.
