I am sad to inform you that my wife and I have decided that your organization is not the right place for our daughter to be a part of. This decision comes with a heavy heart but one clear and free of impulsive emotions. I wanted to let you know why we have come to this decision.
There are many things that my daughter has learned from Girl Scouts. She has learned that hard work can earn her rewards. She has learned that there are people out there who do care about her outside of her parents. She has learned how to be part of a group and what it takes to do what is right for the better of the group.
She has also learned that there are parents out there who will lie and cheat to make sure that their daughter gets ahead, no matter what it costs others. She has learned that sometimes bad people get away with being evil because no one with power really cares except to cover their own backside. She has learned that people are mean. She has learned that people only care about themselves too much of the time, no matter if it hurts other people. She has learned that it is good to question authority because the authority doesn't matter and only her desires are what matters.
I thank God that my wife and I are there to intercept and correct some of the things she has learned from your organization.
My wife has given so much of herself over the last 6 months that she has been the leader of this troop that should have been dissolved with the former administration with insufficient support from the local council. She has jumped through hoops to do what was demanded. She has battled with MS to make sure that the girls came out on top. She has sat back and taken abuse from spoiled, disrespectful parents who were looking out only for themselves and their daughters, teaching my daughter that sometimes it is better to do what is best for the whole than for the one.
My daughter is heartbroken about this decision but we, as her parents, feel it is better for her to suffer a little heartbreak now than to have to deal with the heartbreak of learning that there are people out there that really don't care about her and would stomp on her just to make sure that their daughter, their power or their position are protected.
I have attached a picture of my car that was burned after it was stolen. I hope this is sufficient evidence that it was indeed stolen (along with the police report that she turned into you). I expect your written apology soon for accusing her that we lied about the theft of my vehicle, with enclosed Girl Scout paperwork. Your handling of this situation really left a lot to be desired in personal relations.
I wish you the best and pray that one day someone will do what is best for the girls instead of what is best for cookie sales and the bottom line.
Tony
