I just need to pee

Christine Flannery, who went to Kids Helping Kids at age 16, says she is still struggling from aftereffects at 37.

"I was just diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder, Flannery said."

"At least 50 times, I was restrained by five guys, thrown on floor for just wanting to leave to use the bathroom," she says.

William is now president of this survivor group critical of the KHK way.

It's definitely a cult, was his characterization.

One recent KHK client says he dealt with the pain by cutting himself. His parents say they were never informed of him intentionally injuring himself.

Barbara Towner, a spokesperson for the program, said Kids Helping Kids has served ore than 1,300 families over 25 years. She described it as a highly structured program where kids are treated very well while experiencing a high rate of success.

The group denies violating any human rights. But the push for a state investigation continues.

The state, which licenses Kids Helping Kids, has investigated complaints against the program. But last summer, the state ruled allegations of abuse were unfounded.  
 
The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services is investigating whether "host" homes -- where the KHK kids sleep at night -- should be licensed as foster homes.

This article seems horribly cut up.  Girls were never restrained by guys.

That is an excerpt of the March 31, 2006 Channel 10 (Columbus OH) 5 o'clock newscast of the khk protest at the Ohio Statehouse there that day. The restraining comment was aired by a guy who was there in the news station conference room that morning. Starry Eyed Pirate, Nonconformistlaw and Rusty Goat were the folks interviewed. You're right, this 'article' is chopped up a bit.

That video is around somewhere on here, look for March 31, 2006 posts or something near to that date. It should be a valid link.
