Uh, did you read my post? L...Beating up on Chiara? Uh, did you read my post? Let me quote directly from my post:<br /><br />"I thought the video the de Blasio transition team released of Chiara de Blasio talking about her struggles with drugs, alcohol and depression was on one level an important one.<br /><br />We live in a high stress society in which many people are suffering from depression or other emotional problems, in which many people are trying to numb out with drugs, alcohol or other harmful behaviors.<br /><br />I hope that Chiara de Blasio's struggles give the next mayor, her father, the understanding that schools are trying to help many students suffering from similar problems and need much more support in this area than was provided by Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his test-centric NYCDOE."<br /><br />And this:<br /><br />"Hard to know if Chiara wanted to tell her story publicly or was forced to tell it by someone close to her, hard to know if they had this video in the pipeline a long time and were ready to go with it at a moment's notice or it just got made recently, but the use of this video in a very political way leaves me feeling like Bill de Blasio is one very manipulative politician willing to use his children in whatever way he needs to in order to advance his own career.<br /><br />That doesn't take away from the power of Chiara's telling her story publicly or the empathy and identification I have with her, but it does make me wonder why the de Blasio transition team felt the need to get it out there right now and just what they're trying to do with it. "<br /><br />My criticism is aimed at de Blasio and the de Blasio campaign and transition team, not at Chiara de Blasio.<br /><br />One final point - I wrote I come from a family w/ substance abuse problems. I understand recovery very, very well and treat it more seriously than anything else in life. No one here is sensationalizing the video or Chiara's struggles. Quite the opposite - I am simply pointing out that the way video was put together and released sensationalizes the whole thing and leaves me feeling manipulated. And I know a few other people who are familiar with recovery who felt the same way.reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-83134252869944771552013-12-25T13:18:21.385-05:002013-12-25T13:18:21.385-05:00Yes, but not until after the video was released. ...Yes, but not until after the video was released.

Maybe we sould all take a few steps back and treat this young girl's issues with the respect it deserves. Depression accompanied with drug abuse can be fatal, and maybe...just maybe, Chiara wanted to do this on her own. After all, the DeB family could have done this together, as in his ad campaign's. I give credit to Chiarra for coming forward as this is part of her therapy, as I hope others will have the same courage. Whatever the case, and however others wish to sensationalize this video, give this young girl a break.<br />There are enough problems that lay ahead for us to be critical of. This is not one of them.

There are ways to release this kind of story without the manipulative music, dramatic headlines and other b.s. ad techniques. There's something disingenuous about the whole thing. Frankly, the most honest way to get the story out is to give a statement saying daughter has sought treatment in the past, is sober now, please respect her anonymity in recovery. Simple, honest and forthright, IMO. But they chose to go with the political ad instead.reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-84603913167012103772013-12-25T10:36:06.242-05:002013-12-25T10:36:06.242-05:00Excellent and courageous post.
