New and introducing myself

Parent Cafe
1

<p>Hi, I thought I would introduce myself here to start. I’m from Upstate New York and have put 2 children through college and one still trying to finish. My first graduated from a very good private school in PA (now making more than dad) the second attended a state school and learning a tough lesson about life. My last has been expelled for something she didn’t do, doesn’t have a clue how or why it all happened but the college accused her of it so life is trying to go on.</p>

<p>My mission is to inform parents and students of what the colleges don’t want to tell you. They have powers above and beyond the law but allowed by the courts. While in College they can take your kids civil rights and due process away from them. They can accuse your kids of just about anything without cause. The results can be very costly and harmful to students health and wealth throughout their lives. </p>

<p>If anyone needs more information on the subject I am more than willing to give you very helpful information on this subject. Please email me via the board rules.</p>

<p>Wow…it sounds like your youngest is going through a lot right now.<br>
Welcome to the board. As far as board rules, there are some sticky threads at the beginning page of each forum that outline them. If you stick to the parents cafe and parents forum you will find a group of parents who are all in the “business” of watching their ‘kids’ turn into young adults. Lots of advice, some laughs, some heartfelt questions…you’ll find it all.<br>
Sometimes you will see posts from parents who are in the beginning of events like the one your post alludes to. The advice is all over the place but often you will hear “get a lawyer!”. Even from those non lawyers among us… :)</p>
