"Yes you are right, my mistake, it appears to say I was only a visitor.  I initially visited unannounced, prior to my daughter being enrolled.  The following couple of years I got to know the school pretty well.

Hope that helps"

So you were a regular visitor.

You never sat in on the so-called "therapy."  You truly have no idea what goes on in groups there.

I just wrote the last post, was trying to respond to a previous post, not sure how to do the qoute thing

Like someone else said, no one really knows what goes on in the therapy sessions except the people who are in the room at the time.  We were told "What is said in the room stays in the room" and I think that is fair for everyone.

How do you put the little box with the qoute in it?  Its a nice way to keep the posts clear

No one said you're not free to post whatever you please around here. I'm just saying, it has become pretty common around here to see parents coming in and telling survivors that many of their feelings aren't valid. I'm not saying you did that, but you were on that path. You just have to be careful, because that's probably the easiest way to offend someone around here, at least in my opinion.

Oh and the quote thing is easy, just find whatever post you want to quote and hit the little 'quote' button beneath it. It'll put the HTML and the post into your post for you. Then all you do is type your response to the quote beneath all the HTML.

Haha, and try not to type inside the quote HTML like I just did.

You've said a mouthful. I dare say that if any school bills itself as an "emotional growth school", watch out.

Let's get back on topic: "Rudy Bentz - Abusive Animal"

"I would like to hear first hand accounts from students who have been at Swift River within the past 6 months or parents of recent graduates. SInce Rudy is gone, they are trying to clean up their acts. I have a daughter there now.



I visited several schools before choosing asr and one seemed like a cult, even to parents. None of them are what they seem but is ASR such a bad place?"

What happened to Rudy?  Why did he leave?  Did anyone share with you the reasons for his leaving?  How are they "cleaning up their act"?

I am not sure why Rudy and Jill left, but I think they was asked to leave. ASR has been overhauled (staff changes) for the better. I believe they realized that they had a bad reputation and are slowly improving things. One of their therapists from several years ago left (perhaps due to staff or policies) and she is now back, which is a good sign. I know none of these schools are perfect, far from it as I read the commments on this forum. However, when kids simply cannot be treated at home,parents need an alternative than jail.
  I realize that what I saw was a "Stepford" version of ASR when we visited but I saw other schools that seemed much more controlling (almost cult-like).

You have no ide what you are talking about. I had the priveledge of being taught by Rudy for 3 years, though he was thought of to be harsh, he was usually dead on. It is a shame that more people didn't get to know him the way my peer group did.

what did he teach you?  how to masturbate with a piece of liver and a milk carton?  how to determine who has the smallest penis at the facility?  these are some of his typical "lessons."

I dont think you expect anyone to believe that his typical daily lessons revolved around masturbation and measuring kids penis's?  And of the thousands of kids he was exposed to and taught not one of them told their parents?  All the kids passing through the programs accepted this as normal and didnt say anything?
If he did this to just one kid, he would be in jail so fast and his name would be on the front of every paper.  Remember the publicity the teacher got for sleeping with her student (it was only one kid and he liked it) and it still got out?  And you claim Rudy does this everyday with thousands of kids and not one has come forward and pressed charges?  The first one who comes forward could get millions in settlement and retire at age 20.
Someone is yankin yer chain, me think, when they told you this or you just made it up.
