Talk to the cops at the Sheriff's station in Twin Peaks - They are for real. I live in Lake Arrowhead, have lived in Running Springs and I know them - They will protect your identity.

I need help with this one. Any creative folk out there?

Ok, Here's an idea. Every time you post write out the name of the school. Rocky Mountain Academy, Boulder Creek Academy, Northwest Academy, Cedy High School, Saint George Academy, CEDU Middle School etc. This will cause the thread to be pulled up when parents search the topics. Don't use BCA RMA NWA ect - They are way less likely to come up on searches.

OK, Good idea - Save your posts on bitching out cohorts for here. I have nothing against people who hate CEDU - I don't care who you are. If you hate CEDU - I'm your bud.

 I'm going to agree with Antigen on this one.
You can't get real with a kid without communication on a more personal level than force. What ever happened to compassion?

I continue to see kids come out of CEDU burning with anger, shivering with fear, and, with no idea who they are or how to care for themselves.

They can't apply for jobs, work, relate to real problems and live with people rationally. Their soul has been broken. Their life has been the institution. Their God a machine that throws a tray of food in front of them. No wonder they are lost in a matrix.

It is correct that parents pay to have the job of raising their kid done by someone else, someone without attachment to anything but a paycheck - and a feeling of ritiousnes.

Staff, - These people are rescures of inauthenticity and legends in their own minds. In reality, they are empty, nothing without that false praise used by the system to enable their hidden arrogance.

They are nothing trying to be something - at your, and your parents' expence.

As for escorts - damn the escorts. They are maggots, leaches, sell-outs.

Good - Any Bliss. Anyone to honor them, piss on them - I'll piss if you like. Anyone want to elaborate on this. When will they shut their doors? Wet dream it is - wet dream.

Are you happy? I am elated if it is true.

Hell turns to justice. Please comment. Any of you fools who work there can comment too. We would like to have one last chance at you.

Come on everyone - give CEDU a Eulogy

Man, I hope this is true. It is the rumor. If it is true then there is justice in this world.

This is from another post by other people - had to get it to this post site. It explains why they remain in the red

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CEDU has had some problems with the law that they don't reveal to parents. They have been cited for abuse of students, and the local county, San Bernardino, won't place any kids there. Local clinicians know how abusive CEDU is. The local medical clinic on the mountain there is very upset with them, too.

Mel Wasserman, the founder, was such a nut case, that we had to keep him away from parents when he visited. We would organize to keep him busy so they wouldn?t ruin everything by finding out what kind of person he really was. Can you believe it?!

I worked there. I saw how parents were ripped off. It is true that some kids needed "shock" treatment - gang bangers, and so forth. Some kids are literally putting their lives in peril with the stuff they are getting into. Almost anything would be better than some kid dying in a shootout.

However, I know that there is no THERAPY happening there. There are counselors with no formal psychological training. They do have real therapists there, but the school doesn?t want them there. They have them only because they won?t be paid by the school districts if they don?t, and it looks good to the parents. We were ?supposed? to do what the therapists said if there was a problem. That?s what we presented to the parents. It was a lie. We did what our supervisors told us to do. Frequently, it was abusive.

The school tried to get us to go to their "profeets" but we all refused. We knew it was inappropriate. In the "profeets" staff and kids are supposed to bare their souls, after hours of emotional abuse, telling every bad thing they did. If a kid couldn't come up with something terrible, he was shamed. I knew kids who lied and made up stuff just to get everyone off their backs.

One staff stands out - she was a complete s_ _t. Kids told me that in the profeets, she would talk about her promiscuity. She would scream and cry. Two kids AWOL'd later - they told me they saw her in a bar dancing with men like a s_ _t. They were shocked. They told me that they would have a terrible time believing anything she said. She had no formal training at all - she had been a receptionist at a real estate office when CEDU hired her. She keep being promoted at CEDU, because she was emotionally cruel. I'm sorry to say it - that's the way it was. When I quit, she was the head of the middle school. It sickens me to think that that ignorant, cruel, mean-spirited, s_ _t is responsible for all those kids and staff. Do I sound unreasonably biased? I tell you, this is as it is.

I kept complaining about a large braided rug on the floor in the reception office. I begged them to nail it down or remove it. The edge of it kept rolling up and people would trip on it. One night, a grandfather came into the building and tripped on that rug. He could not get up. When the paramedics came, they asked what had happened. I told them that he tripped on the rug and an administrator who was in the room quickly hushed me. I know that they did not hear me because of the noise and they never reacted to what I said. I was a coward and didn't repeat it. I learned later that he died in the hospital - he had suffered a broken pelvis. CEDU killed him. And I didn't say anything. I'm deeply ashamed.

This place stimulates so much fear. You just can't imagine. I am so glad for this opportunity to post. I went to work fearful and depressed. It got to the point where I had to stop driving my car on the way to work because I was crying so hard I couldn't see to drive safely.

The school broke all manner of laws regarding confidentiality. They gave the nurse far more power than she should have had. I knew about medical problems kids had that the nurse ignored as the kids were ?attention-seeking? or ?lying.? I had to go to the parents and make them promise to not tell the school I tipped them off. That was the only way I could be sure the kids got the medical attention they needed. The nurse was angry, negative, and controlling.

I also recall a tall, psychotic and homicidal middle-schooler. He told me about fantasizing murdering his roommates by holding pillows over their faces. I was alarmed and told the administration that I felt he was a threat to the other kids. They ignored me. He eventually was removed by his parents as they observed that he continued to be psychotic. Duh.

I felt that way because CEDU was such a horrible environment. They were traumatizing and abusing kids and I could do nothing. I hated being a part of that. Staff were traumatized ? I met people who were traumatized YEARS after leaving CEDU. They said that when people quit or are fired, they get the CEDU escort. Someone tells you go now and you can?t even pack up your stuff without someone hovering around, pressuring you to leave right now. This happened to me ? I was not even allowed to say goodbye to my kids. The school lied to me, lied to the kids, and lied to the parents. I wonder how many kids are traumatized by CEDU. I?ll never know. I just hate knowing that I was a small part of it. There are excellent school that are truly therapeutic. CEDU is not. God, it feels to good to get this off my chest. I have many, many, many more horrible stories.

These staff stories are absolutely horrifying and I feel for each and every one of you. How I wish parents could hear what goes on in these places from the perspective of counselors and therapists that no longer work in these hellish places. Why don't you all hook up and collaborate on a book? If you can get around the threat of lawsuits for "telling it like it is", and with the right literary agent, this book would be a bestseller right up there with the latest Steven King novel.
It's that nightmarish!!!! Anyway, thanks for sharing and trying to get the truth out there. Like Ginger always says, "it takes a 1,000 voices"

 Fool them while they try to brainwash you. Look closely at the staff. They are all fools - all the way to the top.

These people are hungry for power precisely because they are weak.

They are hungry for CEDU knowledge, because they wouldn't know knowledge if it bit them.

Remember, no matter how much they PUNISH and PLAY WITH YOUR EMOTIONS, that they do it out of their own weakness and stupidity.

Play the Game while you use their own stupidity against them.

Without your loyalty to their tyranny, they have nothing. Fake it while you break it. Everyone does. Don't let them drug you unless you are really depressed or psychotic. Remember, CEDU will make you depressed and psychotic. It might be better to to the hospital than to end up killing yourself. If your parents dont get it - they will when they get the hospital bills

They will keep saying that they are kinder and gentler as a program - don't believe it parents. They are just better at hiding and doing thinks that whole teams will dispute ever happened. People like to save their own skin (income). The staff "buy in" because they will be punished if they don't. It comes down to lying to parents and themselves - that is why so many leave.

BOY HANGS HIMSELF IN DORMITORY

Section: THE HANDLE  - Page: B3

Author: Kevin Keating Staff writer

A 16-year-old Rocky Mountain Academy student hanged himself in a dorm at the private school

Friday, authorities said.

The boy, who was from Richardson, Texas, was found by another student at the secluded Boundary

County school. The boy's name was not released.

He apparently tied a belt to a pipe on an overhead sprinkler system and hanged himself, said

Boundary County Sheriff Bruce Whittaker. He was found about 7:30 p.m.

Staff at the school for troubled teens tried to revive the boy and called for an ambulance. Whittaker

said the teenager was pronounced dead a short time later at Boundary County Community Hospital.

 

The death is still under investigation. Several reports said the boy may have been taking medication

for manic depression. Authorities would not comment on any details until the investigation is

complete. Richard Geiger, program administrator at Rocky Mountain Academy declined to comment Monday.

The private school specializes in teens who have had trouble at home or are drug and alcohol

abusers.

 

About 140 students, ages 13 to 18, are enrolled at the school, which commands a tuition of more

than $3,500 a month.

Students who have attended the school in the past include Barbara Walters' daughter and Roseanne

Arnold's two daughters.

"I was at BCA from in the mid ninties. When I arrived there were just a few of us there, it is true that a kid did kill himself. He lived up the road at RMA. He hung himself from the big water lines running from each room. Suicide was nothing new there. Plenty of people tried. It was pretty common. Lots of kids had to be rushed to the Hospital for drinking toxic chemicials, or from cutting themselves. CPS(child protection services) was also pretty common. Lots of kids were hurt in restraints and other physical confrontations. I belive that CEDU has potential to be a life altering experience. However, the problem is that you get a lot of shitty staff, who abuse their power. Which is almost criminal in nature. To have a job, in which you are not fit to perform, a job that gives you total influence in other peoples minds, childrens minds, is in my opinion not only criminal, it is flat out burn in hell wrong.
