Are you serious?!  I don't know what the fuck happened after I graduated but I swear that if I saw that shit go down I would say something!  I don't understand what everyone was so scared about by refusing to do something.  I refused a lot of shit.  I just made sure that no one was else was around at the time, because it seemed like when you made some staff members look bad (like Sam apparantly) then the consequence would be worse!

i'm not sure what it was like when you were there but during my time they would hand out trips to nibh like candy. kids who should have had nothing to do with a behavioral hospital would refuse to do something, such as sams little floor exercise, and would get slapped with a little 3 day trip to nibh like it was nothing. i guess one of the rights our parents signed off on was the right to hold us in nibh for up to 3 days without even having to CONTACT  your parents. that gave them 3 days to come up with some beautifully maniupulative argument to keep you at nibh even longer. it happened so much just for simply refusing that people didnt refuse much.

Oh yes!  I witnessed that more times than I would like to admit to.  But unfortunately, that was a decision your parents chose to make from my understanding (Please don't get me wrong, I am not saying that this a fact, but just what my mother told me)  When it came to the agreement of the school and all who were associated with it to make the "medical" decisions for their children, a lot of those parents were manipulated into thinking that CEDU possessed a LOT of degrees and education concernining mental health, especially with medication and hospitals like NIBH.  My mother chose NOT to hand that over to the school because she did not want me on ANY kind of medication unless she got a second opinion herself.  So that is why I could do what I did.  They would often go back and tell my mom embellishments of my decision to make her mad at me, but when it came to that, she believed what I told her because she knew me better than them.  I am very sorry to those parents that put their entire trust into those schools because they REALLY felt they were making the best decision possible for their children seeing as how the majority of parents did have any education regarding medicine and behavorial health.

i wish that had been the case for us but from what i remember there was a sheet located in your medical files (they usually wouldnt even let us view those files, but some of the drivers would cave in and let us check them out on doctors trips because they had to pull the file and bring it along) with all those rights signed over. things like 'we may restrain your child, we may place your child in an escort safe house for up to 48 hours, we may place your child in nibh for up to 72 hours'. and sure enough, underneath every single one of those statements, there was the signature of my mother and my father. i believe that if they would not sign one of those, the student would be denied enrollment, but i'm sure those greedy bastards were willing to make a few exceptions.

I wonder why they made exceptions for people like my mom.  Maybe they felt bad for her because she was broke and couldn't get into any of the scholarships they offered.  So that was their present to her I guess!

Well I know that Tommy Hilfiger had his scholarship going for awhile.  Keep in mind, this is between '96-'99.  Also, the corporate office of CEDU said that they had something going on like that, but you only heard of a few select people getting on that.

so they were helping kids go there by handing out cash? interesting. stroke of luck to get a scholarship sometimes...i would've been pissed knowing my luck got wasted on bca instead of college. but man if they were helping other kids go there, they were doing the opposite to me. they almost refused my enrollment because my psychological evaluations from back home (along with my parent's kind words) had me labeled as too angry for the CEDU schools. they said i'd be a danger and my threat to campus safety was potentially unacceptable.

at first i thought i should just go with that flow and maybe i'd end up back home. then i realized i'd just be punching my ticket to WWASPS or something like that.
