Thomas Jefferson, arguably one of the three greatest founding fathers said (pardon a modest paraphrase):

"Error of judgement may be tolerated, only where Reason is FREE to combat it."

We have been, as a civilization, given the framework upon which to fight the tyranny, oppression and injustices that men and women cast against us,every day,in the smallest and most sublime of all ways.

The framework is a tool. Your intent to speak the truth and then exact justice is required and this lies in your willingness to use that framework, as it was handed down to you.

Here is part of the Spokesman Review article

More than two dozen parents and former students at Rocky Mountain Academy and Boulder Creek Academy ? two expensive private schools for troubled teens ? have filed four lawsuits claiming a pattern of neglect and abuse inflicted upon kids by staff or by other students running out of staffers' control.

The four lawsuits can be grouped into two categories, Todd Reed, attorney for the plaintiffs, said Thursday. Two of the suits recount allegations of misconduct and breach-of-contract issues from Boulder Creek Academy near Bonners Ferry in the mid- to late-1990s; the others concern students more recently enrolled at Rocky Mountain Academy, which is near Naples, Idaho. Boulder Creek typically houses 70 students. Rocky Mountain, which typically enrolls nearly 40 students, currently has 30.


Among the allegations listed in the lawsuits filed at the Bonner County Courthouse in Sandpoint:

--
One boy was forced to dig a grave, crawl into a coffin in the grave and have dirt thrown on it by staff.

--
A girl was called "fatty" by staff even as she was being counseled by other staffers for bulimia.

--
Another girl was called a "whore" and forced by staffers to wear a derisive sign advertising oral sex.

Another suit alleges a student at RMA was hazed, beaten and insulted constantly and with impunity by other students because staffers were not in the dormitories and didn't seem to care enough to stop the beatings when they did find out.

Regarding CEDU's alleged ability to counter-sue. One word says it all. Bullshit.

I have spent a lot of time with Child Protective Services. Any worker there grinds teeth and bites lip at mearly hearing the words Milestones, CEDU RMA or BCA.

Every state in the Northwest has heard of the abuse related riots, suicides, suffocation death, uneducated staff, yelling, intimidation, recketeering, religious and racial persecution and illegal punishment of kids at CEDU. Everone knows they are a cult - even the managers.

If parents send their kids to any CEDU school they are willfully setting the child up for abuse and possible death. And, they alone will be held financially and legally responsible - before CEDU

Does anyone know the status of the lawsuit?
Or what it is about

Please, what is the status of the suit now that the schools are closed?  Are these people going to walk away to do it again under another name?  Do you still need witnesses?

SIBS will be hiring some of them if need be. The group seems to be getting off to a bit of a shaky start, (this is to be expected to some degree) so we may need to consider hiring some staff from the outside....time will tell.

too bad that now that cedu is closed, and bankrupt, there will be no money for any of you.  you would be unsecured creditors standing in the back of a long line with the secured creditors coming first... noone will ever see a dime.

How about the group punishment in 03/03 when everyone on restriction was forced to move out of their dorms into Martin Luther King together so they could "swim in their own shit"?  What an interesting interpretation of the "clean your own pond" exercise that parents participate in at family conferences.  Everyone is entitled to their own opinion as long as it is not inflicted on others, but that was not my idea of the therapeutic use of positive peer culture.....

 Here is the name and phone of the law firm that is handling the case against RMA and BCA.



There are a lot of stories missing about the extended table assignments lasting weeks and months, social isolation, group consequences, punishmant for mastrubation by mormon staff, staff hiding in dorms and spying on kids from closets, double binds and impossible assignments leading to eventual hospitalization, lying to parents (I was there while they lied) and setting up kids to explode so they would have to be sent to Ascent at 16 K for 6 weeks - ie racketeering.
