    But just happy we can feed off each others positiveness
    The secret groups are not all bad. I belong to several, and none of them are like the description in the OP. One is about old nostalgia. But, it happens to be a group of us who met about ten years ago on another board. The old board closed down suddenly, and over the last ten years, some of us have managed to stay in touch through email or Yahoo.. then one member made a facebook page, made it secret, and then started inviting the old members, and having them invite anybody they kept in touch with. It's a secret, because it's really just for the members of this old board. We don't really want just any random person with a photo of their old record collection. We just want to pick up where we left off.

      Okay, okay, you guys have convinced me not to speak openly to my whole (gasp) 20 Facebook peeps about these shady "secret" groups ::.

      I hope you're right and this mystical "karma" that's been spoken of strikes all of these unethical providers, though I guess I'll never know, since they're so "secret."

        Maybe Facebook will get to my report and keep an eye on them I think obviously if they are posting things like the then they can't be providing the best care IMO, maybe the parent's will realize it soon.

        I understand the secret group appeal and really don't think its that big of a deal, just being secret doesn't equal bad IMO its how they use it. Heck I try to keep my profile as secret as I can from people I don't know (and some I do : so I can understand wanting a secret group. I just didn't realizes that was an option. I'm sure there are many people using regular groups and private groups for not so ethical ways.

          I'm sure others here would be more than happy to do the same.

          As long as we don't identify that we're all coming from here maybe they'll get the message that it's incredibly unethical and lots of providers from all over think it's in incredibly poor taste.
          I will join too. Maybe we can find out where some of these providers are located and report them to their licencing department... :confused:
