There is really no way to shut these places down in Idaho. I have contacted everyone from CPS to the Residential Treatmen Center Licensing authority in Boise Idaho that inspects These facilities. Boulder Creek Academy and RMA and NWA - all of the CEDU and Brown Schools drug 85 percent of the teens with various psychotropics to keep them compliant while they undergo psychological games and double-binds, verbal abuse, shunning, peer abuse by putting children in charge of children. Their schools settled out of court for killing a child in a restraint. They put a kid on a work assignment and broke his arm fighting him, an escort hired by RMA was charged with drugging and raping a girl. There was a riot at Northwest Academy - many were hurt. CPS found that it was triggered by unfair and harsh conditions imposed on children. Now Boulder Creek Academy and all the others have therapists. I found out first hand that the staff listenes through doors to clinical sessions. They deliberately keep ethical standards out of reach and hidden from the staff - but the inspectors see them. The workshops require sleep deprivation and "therapy' by people with no credentials or even college education, involving thigs like yelling names kids were called and literally having staff pretend they are having sex on kids while saying they like it. Kids go into PTSD episodes and then are punished for "acting out" with weeks of forced isolation and doing writing assignments that are turned down as not good enough until the kid is about to break. Hospitalizations from "breaks" are common at BCA - And BCA is being used as a cheaper alternitive to the mental hospital - hell is a substitute for medical treatmen now. So bullied kids are often pared with sociopaths and the dorms harbor secret nightly terrorizing and humiliation for the more sensitive children. This is the tip of the iceberg from me - a staff who was around this place for 20 years trying to change it. It will never change until the state Idaho)is sued or somehow held accountable for total neglegence. An RMA child hung himself in his dorm - Why didn't they listen to him. Because they were too busy yelling fuck you - Yes, This is the "Therapy" I saw around that time. Get after Jim Puitt at the State licensing board in Boise Idaho - I guarentee,he and health and welfare will do nothing - even though they heard about it all and were there for the riots. The Attorney General wouldn't even talk about it - Neither would the Govenor. Idaho is not Famous for Potatoes it is famous for protecting backward ideas and backward businesses and keeping them deregulated - free to torture. :wstupid: That is the Govener. Here is the Attorney General :razz:
