"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

The smaller schools, Arts and Humanities (AHA), Communications Arts and Sciences (CAS) and Academy of Medicine and Public Service (AMPS), have 512 students in total.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lottery determines where incoming freshmen end up. But instead of reflecting the diverse demographics of the school, these learning communities are racially segregated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are more black and Latino students in the three small schools. There are more white and Asian students in the two larger programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are not as many opportunities for students to create relationships across ZIP code, ethnicity and gender lines, ” says Principal Sam Pasarow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in the ’90s, Berkeley High was facing a major challenge, the achievement gap between black and Latino students and white students. Like a lot of big public high schools across the country, Berkeley High wanted to close that gap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the school started creating the learning communities in 2003. The small schools were designed to offer more personalized support and appeal to students who learn differently. The three remaining small schools, CAS, AHA, and AMPS, are \u003ca href=\"http://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/gs/hs/cpagen.asp\">California Partnership Academies\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These schools are popular choices with students of color because they graduate and get into college at higher rates than in the rest of the county’s schools. The small-school environment also appeals to parents who are worried about their students getting lost in a big school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For students like junior Alaina Lee, this environment really works.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My first-period class is a Spanish class.

The smaller schools, Arts and Humanities (AHA), Communications Arts and Sciences (CAS) and Academy of Medicine and Public Service (AMPS), have 512 students in total.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lottery determines where incoming freshmen end up. But instead of reflecting the diverse demographics of the school, these learning communities are racially segregated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are more black and Latino students in the three small schools. There are more white and Asian students in the two larger programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are not as many opportunities for students to create relationships across ZIP code, ethnicity and gender lines, ” says Principal Sam Pasarow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in the ’90s, Berkeley High was facing a major challenge, the achievement gap between black and Latino students and white students. Like a lot of big public high schools across the country, Berkeley High wanted to close that gap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the school started creating the learning communities in 2003. The small schools were designed to offer more personalized support and appeal to students who learn differently. The three remaining small schools, CAS, AHA, and AMPS, are \u003ca href=\"http://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/gs/hs/cpagen.asp\">California Partnership Academies\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These schools are popular choices with students of color because they graduate and get into college at higher rates than in the rest of the county’s schools. The small-school environment also appeals to parents who are worried about their students getting lost in a big school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For students like junior Alaina Lee, this environment really works.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My first-period class is a Spanish class.

The new rules will kick in only after the city installs the lockers. Berkeley has not yet determined where the lockers might go and how many there will be, although there will be 50 to 100 to start.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new laws also ban urinating and defecating in public and lying in, or on, the rims of planters. People with shopping carts will be allowed to leave them in one place only for an hour at a time, from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m, among other regulations. The new laws are estimated to cost about $300,000 a year to implement. The council has not yet indicated from where the funds will come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2015/11/18/berkeley-imposes-new-laws-on-homeless-behavior/\" target=\"_blank\">Read the full story on Berkeleyside\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The calls came to the Berkeley Police Department after midnight. Later investigations revealed the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/06/29/state-board-investigates-contractor-in-wake-of-berkeley-balcony-collapse\" target=\"_blank\">balcony’s wooden frame had extensive dry rot\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Higgins’ speech yesterday focused on the healing since the tragedy.

He was the second person on the scene that night, and a member of the response center created at the department to deal with the aftermath.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he was proud of the department’s work on the tragedy these past months, and was touched by the Irish community’s appreciation of their efforts -- noting it was a welcome change from recent negativity toward police officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates also spoke at the reception. He said the balcony collapse has sparked several housing safety proposals to prevent similar tragedies from happening again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bates was referring to several changes to the city’s housing code since July, including stricter regulations on what materials can be used for the exterior structures of a building and \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201507021030\" target=\"_blank\">regular safety inspections\u003c/a>.

That agent asked Capitelli some questions about whether Berkeley or a homeowner was liable for the upkeep of sewer lines and creek beds.

"content": "\u003cp>The new acting interim director of the Berkeley Public Library pledged Wednesday night to reinstate some of the input and authority that librarians and staff lost under former Director Jeff Scott — but one of her staff members also suggested that the total number of items weeded out under Scott’s authority may have been closer to 19,000 rather than the 39,000 widely reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a Berkeley Board of Library Trustees meeting, Sarah Dentan presented a report about the collections management process – a report that Scott was scheduled to present until he abruptly resigned on Aug. 31.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dentan characterized the weeding process as more considered and thoughtful than has been portrayed by a group of former and current librarians. They have led a series of protests in the past few months to bring attention to what they saw as “draconian” book weeding. Along with City Councilman Kriss Worthington, they also raised questions about Scott’s truthfulness. For many weeks, Scott insisted that only 2,200 books had been weeded. However, after Worthington visited Scott in his office in mid-July and, with a few keystrokes, pulled up a list that showed that 39,000 books had been weeded, Scott acknowledged that the higher number was accurate. His change of tune made many, including members of BOLT, lose confidence in him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question of the actual number of books weeded came up again Wednesday night and revealed flaws in the library system that tracks books on its shelves. Alicia Abramson, the library’s manager for information technologies, recently tried to determine how many books had been weeded, she told BOLT. She ran two different tests and came back with two different numbers: one of 17,255 and one of 18,583 books. These were items that had apparently been discarded, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abramson said she tried, but could not reproduce the list of 39,000 items that reportedly had been weeded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The library hasn’t conducted an audit — where every single book is examined — for 14 years, said Dentan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Worthington, contacted Thursday, said that the 39,000 number was a figure spewed out of Scott’s computer, and he believes the number is accurate. He said he is mystified why library officials, working with state-of-the-art computers and sophisticated software, cannot get an accurate figure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is something wrong with this picture,”he said. “They can allege our numbers are wrong, but our numbers are the library computer’s numbers. According to their own computer system, there are 39,000 deleted items.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Worthington has emailed Dentan and Abramson offering to show them how the 39,000 number was reached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is also room for confusion when discussing the Central Library weeding as it involves discarding items other than books, though the term “books” appears to be used when “items” might be more accurate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number of items in the library collection has fluctuated over the past four years, but only by about 10% of the collection, said Dentan. In 2011-12, the library had 452,316 books. In 2012-13, the library had 487,746 books, according to numbers presented to BOLT. In 2013-14, there were 463,916 books. And in 2014-15, the library had 442,243 books.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the speakers at the meeting, and at a rally beforehand, called for Dentan to stop the weeding process and to restore the librarians to their former roles as full participants in selecting and weeding out books. Scott had changed the library’s longstanding practice of using 34 librarians for weeding and acquisitions after a consultant said many librarians were overworked. He created a new system with two main librarians and four consulting librarians doing the work that 34 people had once done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The choice is very, very clear,” said Diane Davenport, a former librarian and former board member of the Friends of the Berkeley Public Library. “Return book selection and weeding to them (the group of 34 librarians). They know how to do it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dentan was not willing to go that far. She did say the library was not actively weeding right now. Then she outlined the many ways library staff can have input into selecting and weeding books. She made no suggestion that the current process implemented by Scott was not working.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dentan did tell the board, however, that she wanted to immediately overturn another of Scott’s controversial decisions. He had locked out librarians from accessing a website that was a good source of news about forthcoming books. The Baker & Taylor website also has reviews and stories, and reading it regularly is critical for librarians’ knowledge of current books, said Dentan. They need that information to be responsive to patrons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armin Arethna testified that she felt “handicapped” working on the public desk without access to the information on the Baker & Taylor website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BOLT members said they agreed that the staff should regain access to that site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dentan and other members of the senior staff then told BOLT about how the library goes about deciding which books to get rid of. Dentan also explained how librarians make sure the collection has books of local interest – one of the issues that was brought up in the protests. \u003ca href=\"http://cecilepineda.com/\">Cecile Pineda\u003c/a>, a fiction and non-fiction Berkeley writer who has won numerous awards, including the Gold Medal from the Commonwealth Club award, told the board that the weeding process under Scott had removed her work from the library.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dentan said the acquisitions staff, as well as other librarians, look at books coming from local publishers to find books from Berkeley authors. The library also tries to do programming around local authors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Members of the BOLT board seemed pleased by Dentan’s report and thanked her for her presentation. But as soon as the meeting adjourned, a number of librarians came over to her and expressed dismay by the way she and Rachel MacNeilly, who heads up collections management, had characterized the process. Tom Dufour, a librarian, told Dentan there were some “untruths” in the presentation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It (collection management) looks great on paper,” Dufor told Berkeleyside. “It’s unfortunate it doesn’t happen that way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Looking Ahead for a New Interim Director\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, BOLT formally hired Dentan as acting interim library director and gave her a salary of $137,772. The board does plan on finding an interim director immediately, according to Darryl Moore, a city councilman and BOLT member. Former Library Director Donna Corbeil is not interested in the job, he said. Staff from Berkeley’s Human Resources department will look for a permanent interim head.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BOLT hired a search firm to conduct a nationwide search after Corbeil retired. While no decision was reached Wednesday night, the board suggested it would follow that process again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the meeting, a group of concerned Berkeley residents and current and past librarians held a rally outside the Central Branch on Kittredge Street. Many of them called for an independent investigation into the weeding process under Scott to see what had gone wrong. Some said he was being made a scapegoat and there were still people employed in the library who were responsible for the way the process was carried out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Councilman Moore said he thought BOLT would be amenable to an investigation.\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>\u003cbr>\nUpdate: This article has been corrected to remove a quote that was attributed to Abramson where she said that “no one really knows how many books have been weeded.” The reporter wrote that down in her notebook and later thought it was a direct quote, which it was not.

Most parents go through some iteration of this experience when their children become teenagers, but some families suffer more than others. One mom in Berkeley, Donna, found herself caught in a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse with her daughter, Cindy, starting in middle school.

Cindy was 13 at the time, and her younger sister was in the back seat, so Donna didn’t say anything out loud, at first.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I looked over. My daughter was in the front seat. She was holding her phone. You know, she kind of scrolled through. But well, my first thought was: Why is there a male torso on my child’s phone?

If I could ever really see the whole gist of a conversation, I would gather that the person on the other side was a boy or man, who eventually would lead the discussion to something sexual, and then it seemed like she would kind of stop.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What Donna Ultimately Realized Was Happening\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I really wanted attention,” Cindy says. At that time, she adds, “I didn’t really care how people thought of me. Like, I’m going to text this guy a million times until he stops replying, and then I’ll find the next one.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cindy was an anxious kid, and a year into middle school, she found herself socially excluded by a group she calls the Abercrombie Girls, in reference to their focus on fashion. Cindy describes it as a “Mean Girls” situation. “I was always at the edge.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8_POt2KlfQ]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Cindy sought out boys, and men, consciously aware they were interested in sex, regardless of what she told her mom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s so easy, you know?” Cindy says. “Snap the picture and send it. It takes nothing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cindy is hardly an anomaly. Sexting is a common practice among teenagers, and grownups everywhere are struggling to catch up. Some law enforcement agencies treat sexting an under-age girl as a criminal offense, but if the sexter is a teenage boy, that can come off as \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p031fztz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">heavy-handed\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Donna warned her daughters about the fact that photos are forever on the Internet, but Cindy was favoring the bad information she got from girlfriends, who told her guys were unlikely to forward her photos if she had sexual photos of them: a kind of mutually assured destruction pact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That turned out to be a naive assumption. But even after Cindy knew better, even after she had been publicly embarrassed, she kept sexting. Even after one of the older guys she was chatting with threatened to come find her, she kept looking for new, strange friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Parental Surveillance\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Donna never really stalked her daughter. She openly checked Cindy’s phone once a week in middle school. But Cindy was much more careful about what she shared with her mom, regularly deleting incriminating evidence that could get her grounded or, at the very least, forced to endure a lecture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cindy wasn’t a big fan of social media, but Donna checked the feeds of her daughter’s Facebook friends nonetheless, looking for clues about her daughter’s life that Cindy wasn’t choosing to share with her. Donna also installed \u003ca href=\"http://www1.k9webprotection.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">K9 Web Protection\u003c/a>, filtering software that blocks sites and then emits a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyCXUuUKLxE&feature=youtu.be&t=6m23s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">loud dog bark\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cutting was the first clue that Cindy’s anxiety and depression were overwhelming her. Cindy fell in with a couple of girls at school who were also suffering from depression. They were also cutting themselves, and cutting themselves competitively with each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cindy described her first scars as evidence of an encounter with a cat. That excuse worked only once, and her tolerance grew over time, so she needed to cut more often “to get the same relief.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They look like what they are: razor cuts,” says Donna. “So they’re very thin, and precise — but they can get a little deep. I know, it’s horrible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Soon after the cutting began, Donna lined up a therapist, but Cindy didn’t take to the woman. She was formal, the kind of therapist who likes to review her notes at the end of a session — with a 13-year-old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It wasn’t more damaging,” Cindy says now, “but it just wasn’t helpful — and that was a critical time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All this was before high school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Listen to more of Cindy’s reflections on middle school:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/223991953”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Berkeley High School\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Unfortunately, high school didn’t go as well as we had hoped for her,” Donna says. “She started out strong her freshman year, but by her sophomore year, she had gotten again with a group that was kind of fringe — not exactly motivated in school, and they were smoking a lot of pot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s so easy to find,” Cindy says. “Everyone had this unlimited supply. I almost always got it for free in the beginning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By sophomore year, Cindy was smoking, by her own estimate, eight or nine “blunts” a day — and then drinking on top of that. There was also a one-month flirtation with cocaine, but that wasn’t her main drug.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite all this, Cindy was still getting A’s and B’s in school. She was taking care of business. “I was the only kid who went to class of the friends that I was with, ’cause I knew that If I started getting bad grades, my parents would notice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are kids who are very combative with their parents,” Donna says. “They’re ‘I hate you, Mom,’ and they’re fighting. We were never like that. She would tug at my heartstrings, versus push me away. We tried to rein her in. ‘You can’t go to this party, and you can’t hang out with so-and-so.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Donna found it hard to lay down the law for any length of time. “You become a jailer, which is not fun,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”Kfo8j15BfaTtV778Jwzc55k9CalAykEQ”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why didn’t Donna simply take away Cindy’s phone or Internet access? Cindy answers it best. “She really thought that if she punished me, I’d hurt myself.” Also, the phone was a valuable surveillance device for Donna, a way to keep tabs — however limited — on her daughter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, Donna recalls following Cindy via GPS down Telegraph Avenue one Halloween night after dropping her off at a party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She was probably trying to score something,” Donna recalls. “I kept texting, ‘Where are you?’ and she kept telling me, ‘Oh, at this other party,’ and I could see the little dot moving around. I said, ‘You know, I’m just coming to get you.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Things started to go downhill,” Donna continues. “It just went downhill really fast. I realized, again from looking at her phone, that she was financing her pot use by selling it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point, Donna had tried talk therapy, anti-depressants, dialectical behavior therapy — “a common form of therapy used for kids who cut” — which involved a year of classes for Cindy and Donna in Oakland at \u003ca href=\"http://www.clearwaterclinic.com/dialectical-behavior-therapy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Clearwater Clinic\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, nothing they could do in Berkeley seemed to be working. “I feel like, at a certain point, I didn’t know who she was,” Donna says. “Someone who’s using drugs and abusing alcohol, there’s a lot they have to hide and a lot of manipulation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cindy agreed to go to North Carolina for 2½ months to attend what’s called a wilderness therapy program. There, Cindy was separated from everything: her friends, her drugs, her makeup and, of course, her iPhone. Such a dramatic intervention doesn’t always work. Some kids are literally dragged to wilderness school, and the therapy doesn’t take. But Cindy says she loved her experience at \u003ca href=\"http://trailscarolina.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trails \u003c/a>in North Carolina, and would even do it again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Coming Clean\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of her therapy, Cindy had to write letters home cataloging everything she’d done in the previous years. The letters were shocking to Donna. “I probably shouldn’t have trusted her as much as I did.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Donna was genuinely surprised at the level of Cindy’s drinking, despite a couple instances in which she vomited in public, and one time when she blacked out in a public park. A friend carried her to his home and called Donna from there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cindy’s stint at Trails was followed by a therapeutic boarding school, \u003ca href=\"http://www.springridgeacademy.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Spring Ridge Academy\u003c/a>, in Arizona, before she finished high school in the East Bay. She’s now a freshman at an East Coast university.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mother and daughter are on good terms these days. “I will never not regret the pain that I caused my mother,” Cindy says. “I always knew that she loved me. She cared enough to repeatedly go through these things with me and not give up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10668812\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/09/RS16581_chocolate.JPG-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10668812\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/09/RS16581_chocolate.JPG-qut.jpg\" alt=\"A chocolate cake with a chocolate ganache glaze and vanilla whipped cream center.

There was also a one-month flirtation with cocaine, but that wasn’t her main drug.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite all this, Cindy was still getting A’s and B’s in school. She was taking care of business. “I was the only kid who went to class of the friends that I was with, ’cause I knew that If I started getting bad grades, my parents would notice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are kids who are very combative with their parents,” Donna says. “They’re ‘I hate you, Mom,’ and they’re fighting. We were never like that. She would tug at my heartstrings, versus push me away. We tried to rein her in. ‘You can’t go to this party, and you can’t hang out with so-and-so.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Donna found it hard to lay down the law for any length of time. “You become a jailer, which is not fun,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why didn’t Donna simply take away Cindy’s phone or Internet access? Cindy answers it best. “She really thought that if she punished me, I’d hurt myself.” Also, the phone was a valuable surveillance device for Donna, a way to keep tabs — however limited — on her daughter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, Donna recalls following Cindy via GPS down Telegraph Avenue one Halloween night after dropping her off at a party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She was probably trying to score something,” Donna recalls. “I kept texting, ‘Where are you?’ and she kept telling me, ‘Oh, at this other party,’ and I could see the little dot moving around. I said, ‘You know, I’m just coming to get you.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Things started to go downhill,” Donna continues. “It just went downhill really fast. I realized, again from looking at her phone, that she was financing her pot use by selling it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point, Donna had tried talk therapy, anti-depressants, dialectical behavior therapy — “a common form of therapy used for kids who cut” — which involved a year of classes for Cindy and Donna in Oakland at \u003ca href=\"http://www.clearwaterclinic.com/dialectical-behavior-therapy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Clearwater Clinic\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, nothing they could do in Berkeley seemed to be working. “I feel like, at a certain point, I didn’t know who she was,” Donna says. “Someone who’s using drugs and abusing alcohol, there’s a lot they have to hide and a lot of manipulation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cindy agreed to go to North Carolina for 2½ months to attend what’s called a wilderness therapy program. There, Cindy was separated from everything: her friends, her drugs, her makeup and, of course, her iPhone. Such a dramatic intervention doesn’t always work. Some kids are literally dragged to wilderness school, and the therapy doesn’t take. But Cindy says she loved her experience at \u003ca href=\"http://trailscarolina.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trails \u003c/a>in North Carolina, and would even do it again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Coming Clean\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of her therapy, Cindy had to write letters home cataloging everything she’d done in the previous years. The letters were shocking to Donna. “I probably shouldn’t have trusted her as much as I did.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Donna was genuinely surprised at the level of Cindy’s drinking, despite a couple instances in which she vomited in public, and one time when she blacked out in a public park. A friend carried her to his home and called Donna from there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cindy’s stint at Trails was followed by a therapeutic boarding school, \u003ca href=\"http://www.springridgeacademy.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Spring Ridge Academy\u003c/a>, in Arizona, before she finished high school in the East Bay. She’s now a freshman at an East Coast university.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mother and daughter are on good terms these days. “I will never not regret the pain that I caused my mother,” Cindy says. “I always knew that she loved me. She cared enough to repeatedly go through these things with me and not give up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10668812\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/09/RS16581_chocolate.JPG-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10668812\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/09/RS16581_chocolate.JPG-qut.jpg\" alt=\"A chocolate cake with a chocolate ganache glaze and vanilla whipped cream center.
