I was very delighted yesterday to have a telephone conversation with Dr. Charles Huffine, M.D., a psychiatrist in Seattle, Washington who has been a dedicated advocate for children and has written extensively on reisdential treatment centers, particularly the abuses that occur in these facilities as well as their being costly and ineffective. I was also pleased to learn of his work with CAFETY (Community Alliance for the Ethical Treatment of Youth) and the winderful work this organization is doing towards advocating for the true needs of our young people.

I believe that the more we work together, the greater difference we can make. I know many (including myself) feel disillusioned at times by the enormous problems within the system, but if we can work together, and each make our contribution as people of ethics and goodness, the difference will be seen in time, we must be patient.
