interesting reads..
gt friend visited today.. asked if id ever seen this site.. so i read up some..
man.. there is a bit of fact, a bit of fiction, and plenty of opinions to go around..
i left prior to the alleged rape incident at gt, i can say however that from the time gt opened to just 6-8 months before the dates on the police report there had not been any incidents to my knowledge..
I had the privledge of knowing TS. I had a private conversation with him the friday night before he killed himself. I believe he thought of me as a confidant, but he never expressed any depression or suicidal thoughts/ideas/intentions. We talked about his mom, his son, his acting career, the women on the amtrak, money he was saving for his 7 step necklace.. nothing to indicate he was thinking of killing himself.
Yes there were rats in the gt building at one point. this is so fl, we have rats... i killed one in my garage just this week! to my recolection nozzel nolan was a big supporter of the program and took care of the problem.
gt's biggest problem to be really honest was the executive staff.. i hear a lot of critisism about 'kids helping kids' but with the exception of a few the peer staff was awesome. there were a few real hardasses who i wont name... girls side was far worse than guys.. some of the girls staff would have given hitler a run for his money. worse tho.. these tyranical staff were praised by the executive staff (and by the parents, most of these parents wanted their kids to be held accountable by a strict staff)
1st executive director of gt f.b. he didnt last long but boy was he an idiot.
2nd was t.c. and she always had this look on her face like she needed to get laid.
t.c. brought in b.g. who was very forgetful. locked her keys in her office and her car dozens of times, couldn't remember program rules.
ivan the terrible... ever hear about those guys who are 'this close to going back to the bottle' (and the rest of us would be better off if he would hurry the fuck up and do it?)
m.b. what can you say about m.b.... **hears crowd begin chanting... "bring back ivan.. bring back ivan"
as a staff member i refused to do a couple of admissions, kids that had cigarettes and chocolate as drugs of choice, wtf?! I became increasingly unpopular..
we had a staff member who had been thru the straight program in cincy (i think). i got the impression based on how he wanted to run things that we were 1000x more lax at gt. i was a 7stepper and he still tried to bark orders at me from time to time.
it sounds like they still have an idiot in charge.. they always had 1-2 staff that were genuinely good people steve m, george m, mickey b (there were 2 mickey b's and no one that knew either would have a hard time determining which one is the **** and which one isnt)
man, getting tired!
lets see..
i remember when they did infact outlaw beltlooping or modify its use based on state laws.
newcommers were allowed privacy in the bathrooms (oldcommer outside the door) this changed toward end of my time there
they did a lot of training for the staff on how to physically hold someone, at some point kids were not allowed to restrain other kids any longer
if there was a room as described with blood and hair in it, from someone physically abused, i never saw it.
if a kid had to kill a roach at dinner it was probably because he threw his food across the lunchroom and pissed in the corner.. as stated before nozzel nolan was a big supporter, i bought an auction item from them once. they sprayed and fumigated that place like clockwork.
some of the kids were just plain fucking nuts and needed to be in a psych wards. executive staff did not want to send them at times.. they did sooner or later start sending some out to psych units. its not my opinion that they didnt want to send the kid out but that they really believed they could help everyone..
i dont believe gt was ever in it for the money.. they had a huge scholarship writeoff.. they constantly fought the discussion of admission fee hikes.. they had a generous sliding scale... they paid the staff shit.. they went after some people in court to 'prove a point' i think.. problematic familys maybe.. not sure what it was...
anyhow.. thats enough for now.. ill try and drop back later to follow up but im really past that time in my life.. im old and my memory is chronically bad.
besides if i say too much more people will figure out who i am and they might come drag me back for a refresher.

also.. just so everyone has an understanding of my current thoughts/opinions toward my entire experience at gt...
i have very fond memories of the time i spent at gt. the people i met, the experiences i had, if i had it to do over again...
i would have plotted an uprising and made my escape...

Welcome Antibody.
man.. there is a bit of fact, a bit of fiction, and plenty of opinions to go around..

Are you absolutely sure you knew everything that was going on? After all, you didn't come up through that group. Lot of things went on in Sarasota that out of town staff probably never knew. It's not asif you could just send up a chain of command w/o risk. There were always risks.
I had the privledge of knowing TS. I had a private conversation with him the friday night before he killed himself. I believe he thought of me as a confidant, but he never expressed any depression or suicidal thoughts/ideas/intentions. We talked about his mom, his son, his acting career, the women on the amtrak, money he was saving for his 7 step necklace.. nothing to indicate he was thinking of killing himself.
That's very sad. Any thoughts on why it went down that way?
Yes there were rats in the gt building at one point. this is so fl, we have rats... i killed one in my garage just this week! to my recolection nozzel nolan was a big supporter of the program and took care of the problem.
That's so. In fact, any place where there are people there are bound to be rats. I live in a 100 yo town on a river. Not only rats but gofers the size of cocker spaniels! It's a constant battle. But, of course, we don't have the problem of not being able to let outsiders in to help out, so that makes it easier to deal with.
these tyranical staff were praised by the executive staff (and by the parents, most of these parents wanted their kids to be held accountable by a strict staff)
Yeah, people make the same complaint about a lot of these places. Thing is that when the decent ppl get a leg up and take control of a location it breaks the process and the place soon closes. You can't pay the bills by refusing intakes and you can't effectively control a group w/o that iron fisted, snitch culture element. So secrets get out, people see through the scam and quit supporting it. That's why staff who think and are reasonable are usually drummed out pretty quickly.
executive staff did not want to send them at times.. they did sooner or later start sending some out to psych units. its not my opinion that they didnt want to send the kid out but that they really believed they could help everyone..
Well, that's part of the problem. As you noted above, the 'successful' staff (those who hang around and gain influence in the organization) tend to be bug all crazy themselves.
i dont believe gt was ever in it for the money.. they had a huge scholarship writeoff.. they constantly fought the discussion of admission fee hikes.. they had a generous sliding scale... they paid the staff shit.. they went after some people in court to 'prove a point' i think.. problematic familys maybe.. not sure what it was...
No, the money is just a means to an end for true believers. But there damned sure is a lot of money involved. And, most of the time, a fair chunck of it goes to protecting their delusions about their high holy ends.
anyhow.. thats enough for now.. ill try and drop back later to follow up but im really past that time in my life.. im old and my memory is chronically bad.
besides if i say too much more people will figure out who i am and they might come drag me back for a refresher.
Well, every little bit helps. The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins; all of them imaginary.

i didnt know everything going on at life, i was there only a short time and on 1st/2nd phase.. 2-3months.. gt was a much smaller group.. life was hundreds of kids, gt was under 40 kids and easier to know whats going on...
at gt i never heard of any such incidents until the one reported after my time.. there was no tradition of initiation along the lines mentioned. even tho i was on staff i still to this day believe a client would have told me. i had left staff on a couple of occasions and went for real world experiences. during my times back at gt i was more involved in aftercare and my relationship to lower level clients was a bit different than the norm... i made a point to get to know them on a personal level with the idea that next summer when i returned they might be in aftercare and under my 'supervision'
for sure none of this happened during my time in the program... yes there were times that oldcommers/newcommers behaved in sexually inappropriate ways im sure, yes its possible things went on i didnt know about.. honestly, if there were any circle jerks i didnt know about im definately disappointed because as one of my good friends says 'we were all hornier than 3 dicked dogs'
TS... i dont know where my obligation to maintian confidentiality lies..
... did you ever know a person who was caught between a rock and a hard place? they didnt want to be where they were but the other option was far worse? concerned that if they faltered they would be forced to take the alternate path? sometimes when we make a mistake... we can only see one path and despite what others say or do our mindseye sees differently...
there were some kids sent to gt/life/etc by a judge who said 'finish this and you wont go to jail' and yet there was atleast one where the judge was still undecided about future jail time due to the seriousness of the charges... lets just say some of those could still be doing time to this day.
the bug all crazy staff is an environmental element. they think the only way to stay clean is to be a militant in their own lives, these are the ones that crash hardest. as you noted trying to change that only meets resistance. short of busting out those kids whose parents signed them into treatment, the only other option is to educate them correctly into the way the world works. (my thinking at the time)
i still dont think the money is as much of an issue... atleast in palm beach.. taking in clients to make 10-15k wouldnt cut it.. i seen the books and they spent 30-40k on each kid. palm beach is rich land and the donations were forthcomming.. honestly, those in charge had a different agenda... they were trying to undo their own pasts... they had an abusive husband that drank... their father died from an O.D., yadda yadda yadda.. they thought if they could FIX one kid they could make up for the past.... i guess those are "delusions about high holy ends" =]
i marked for it to email me when someone replies so ill try to answer as i can if anyone has direct questions

one other item as my brain reflects on this time...
during most of the time that TS was around there was also a Dr B who was a member of the staff, (there were 3 different Dr B's over the years). Dr B and TS had a closer relationship than most, likely due to the fact they were both black but also due to the fact they both had a child about the same age.
the claims that TS was not seen by a psychiatrist are 100% wrong. their schedules were such that they were both in attendance on wed each week for the very purpose of visits. sometimes these visits were off the record next door at the pizza joint (sorry for the use of the word 'joint' here if that makes anyone uncomfortable) and sometimes behind closed doors.
Dr B shared the news with the group and was as wrecked as anyone else.
TS had a personality that made everyone love him. It still breaks my heart. I still see the faces of his friends. Many are still my friends.
blah.. its spose to be a festive holiday weekend!

Yup, I did have mismatched quotes. Thanks.

Well, you've just described at least half of the ppl who frequent this forum (at some point in their lives, anyway) And I'm of the opinion that it's a dire mistake to intentionally cause that kind of double bind pressure on a kid; especially those who actually did have issues to begin with. I think that alone accounts for the unusually high incidence of suicide among program vets.

Yup, that's always been my (unpopular) position. It's easy to point to a large cashflow and then appeal to rather socialist ideas about the evil of money and call it a day. But I've always thought that the Program runs firstly on pathology among the core staff, secondly on money.
A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier, there's no question
about it.

further;
i will make a great effort to respect the confidintiality of anyone and everyone i can (client side most of all). If i am vague please understand why.
the artical which i read also had several unfounded quotes by a mr blanchard, a member of the board of directors.
"Growing Together refused to yield to either Gersten or the DCF. In a letter dated March 30, 1990, then-Board President Warren Blanchard appealed the probationary license. Blanchard also disputed nearly all of the state's findings. The only actions Growing Together had taken, according to Blanchard's letter, were to stop giving classes to children on restraining their peers and to define more clearly when staff should use physical restraint."
gersten was a judge that ordered the release of a client and the client was released, this is the only involvement to my recolection. gt followed the laws as outlined by the dcf and joint commissions, at times there were interpretations of laws that were brought into question, i remember this pretty clearly but i only remember very strict orders from above to comply with any and all dcf and jcoha rulings. to suggest that gt had any pull with the gov is silly in my opinion, even when m.b. had congressional alies... most of the issues dcf raised were ruled in dcf's favor and gt was compliant.
lets put that all aside... my biggest issue is with the light it paints mr blanchard.. who at the time was primarily involved in helping to oversee gt's financial health, i believe he was invited onto the board as a parent of 2 6th phase kids primarily due to his background in finance and his participation ended on or around the time his older son left staff.

I think in this case however, one of the rocks was put in place long before gt. it was no ordinary rock,. it was a boulder of grand porportion. placed in the path by the very person trying to walk said path...
If you ask someone... Are you happy to be here today? and the response is "im so thankful im here and not in prison"... it hits your heart different when you know its real, not a 14yo kid who has been scared into thinking 'if i wasnt in gt i would either be dead or in jail cause i tried pot 3 times'

Welcome, Antibody... I've read your posts, and I think you're one of the more honest and forthcoming around here.
If you ask someone... Are you happy to be here today? and the response is "im so thankful im here and not in prison"... it hits your heart different when you know its real, not a 14yo kid who has been scared into thinking 'if i wasnt in gt i would either be dead or in jail cause i tried pot 3 times'
I know what you're saying here -- and I truly agree. The trouble I and most others have had with these programs is that the majority of the abuses that we've seen involve the 14 y/o who tried pot three times, then lose their entire adolescence in labor to a program they don't need. That's where the question of ca$h comes in.
True professionals would recognize an addict from an experimenting kid. Sure, if you see a kid starting to screw up his life because they found a substance they like better, by all means, try to get them back on a more productive path -- but the militancy of the program was just "out there".
Ah... but so I rant on again.... :smile:
I also read in your post where you said you're old and some memories are clouded... oh PUHLEEEZE!!! I'm gonna bet you're younger than 35. Come on... am I right?? :lol:
Anyway, nice to virtually meet you!

ill be 36 but i feel old ;p
as far as being honest, i just tell it like i remember it, some will remember differently.. i was on both sides of the line (several times) so i have a couple of perspectives.
i could get invited to a meeting still and see whats taking place, its been a decade.

Feel old? Then do something that makes you feel less old -- and I'm not talking about buying a sports car and picking up a hottie who's 10 years younger :razz:
And we all remember things differently -- the difference is that most won't admit they don't remember everything exactly as it happened.

Hi Antibody
I was in Life when the GT kids transferred over. Willing to give a first name or your initials?
Wonder if I remember you.

yea im not trying to hide my identity, but email me on my covert email address of nero at nero-x.net =]
i might want to disclose more on this board later so might not want to be too open just yet, never know.
probably given away enough to allow for good guesses at this point anyhow
-
WHO is T.S.?? And what happened to him/her?
-
Antibody... you & I were there at the same time. I was on a lower phase on girls' side at the time so my knowledge of the activities leading up to the suicide of TS were based on second-hand info- but as I understood it--- TS had a child, he was 20ish?, he had been court-ordered and was weeks away from 7th stepping, he was busted by a fellow 6th-phaser (or staffer?) having relations with a girl (gasp!) and THAT PERSON insisted that his conscience wouldn't allow him to keep him that little secret and THAT PERSON ratted him out.... directly resulting in the end of TS who didn't want to go to prison for violating the terms of his court-ordered rehabilitation. Am I wrong? Was this gossip? If that's how it went down, that really sucks right? There is a fatherless child and childless parents out there because GT convinced 6th-phaser-x that having a girlfriend meant TS had RELAPSED!? I barely knew this guy but I still find it as sad and infuriating now as I did then-- maybe even moreso because I am now a parent myself. I find it surprising that you were a 'friend' of his yet you seem to think TS was done right by GT?
I also think the "tried pot 3 times" factor was greater than you are reporting. There was a kid there that (as I recall) had been on 1st phase for years, dating back to when he was 12, for, essentially, misbehaving. No drug use. There was a girl there for anorexia. Then there were those of us (me) who WERE smoking pot and had tried other drugs but were forced to greatly exaggerate our drug lists (and in my case, feign my own "outing" as a bisexual in order to make 2nd phase). I think the program made most of these kids look worse than they really were, for the sake of moving up.
For Anon... Scroll down to read about TS http://thestraights.com/theprogram/suicides-page2.htm (http://thestraights.com/theprogram/suicides-page2.htm)
-
Sorry, that was me. ::blushing::
-
...THAT PERSON insisted that his conscience wouldn't allow him to keep him that little secret and THAT PERSON ratted him out....
ts was busted with a girl... he was living with another 6th phaser who came home unexpected.. TS within one minute of being found at the house with a girl punched a large glass fish tank which sliced his hand open then took off. i got the phone call 'there was a girl over, shes still here, ts is bleeding and left'
ts would have not been in violation of his probation for the relationship or started over. everyone that he might be willing to contact was informed to have him call a specific staff member who was going to offer him 7 day refresher and immediately back to 6th phase. ts was a staff apprentice at the time.
I find it surprising that you were a 'friend' of his yet you seem to think TS was done right by GT?
GT was a choice TS made when given 2 options. he could have done life in prison. i didnt give him the choices. Im not sure i said GT did him right or wrong... i do believe that a large part of the article i read was misleading, thus the main reasons for my response.
I also think the "tried pot 3 times" factor was greater than you are reporting. There was a kid there that (as I recall) had been on 1st phase for years, dating back to when he was 12, for, essentially, misbehaving. No drug use. There was a girl there for anorexia.

I think the program made most of these kids look worse than they really were, for the sake of moving up.
greater than i reported? i left staff over unwillingness to do the intake on a kid that 'smoked pot 3 times'... I think i agree with you for the most part.. i also think the girls side was a lot harder to deal with than guys side.. I dont envy you at all... if i had JB deciding if i was honest or not i would still be sitting there. I tried really hard to get them to lax up some, me and 2 others got them to drop 6th phase from 6 to 4 months (i was mostly involved in aftercare/6th phase)
im interested to know who you are, if your still in the area? you have a kid huh? i should remember the bisexual thing and put a name and face to the story but i cant.
-
Oh my... JB... does that bring back some horrifying memories. She ripped me a new one on Day 3 about how FOS I was. Then the entire girls side proceeded to, one-by-one, go off on me about what a lying druggie slut I was (at all of 15, impressive). It requires a great deal of incite to determine that within 72 hours of knowing me. (!?!)
I remember TS was court-ordered but I don't recall that was an alternative to "life in prison". He was a minor at the time wasn't he? I thought it was an assault charge. Of course, you have much more intimate knowledge of what happened- I'm just telling it like I remember it and how it was relayed to the female side (via "it was said that" bla bla bla). I don't remember the 6th-phaser roommates name but I remember his face, and I remember blaming him (and GT of course). I know the blame should be placed on TS for his own suicide, but having been at GT I can only imagine how it would feel to be so close to the finish line and be threatened with a set-back for something so completely fucking ridiculous as having a girl over. He was celibate for all of those years, it would be sad if he hadn't found a girlfriend!
I'll pm you about my lesbianism. :smile:
-
Sorry again, that was me. ::blushing::
-
it might not have been life, it was a long time tho, there were several (3 i remember) felonies. he was an adult. tried as an adult. guilty. my brain is not what it use to be.
i can tell you to this day his mother is thankful he had the chance in GT. she told me she believes he would have killed himself in prison. he would have never had the year to spend getting to know her and his child.
TS had previously had his 6th phase started over for a situation that could have gotten anyone else on a refresher or start over to 1st phase. he should have known from previous experience that staff was trying to treat him as an adult, a 20 year old father who might behave differently than a 14 year old kid.
btw you know the current status of GT? when MB became the director in the new building after Ivan she racked up some debts, they had to take out a mortgage on the bldg. they had to sell the building recently, the program has changed quite a bit im told, i hear they have a place off 45th street and looking for a clinical director.

when i said before the problem was executive staff... JB is a perfect example of why that is true. She had free reign to run girls side however she saw fit. she could do no wrong. i dont have a problem with her (i love her brother to death btw) the problem was she had no business with the power she had and executive staff and parents alike put her on a pedestal. i dont think this did her any good either.....
you know those pittbulls they train to fight... when the people that fight the dogs are busted the dogs are killed (hey its humane!?@#)... it isnt the dogs fault he is a mean sob, he was trained to be.
woof!
-
I see your point about JB. Really, she wasn't around all that much- but when she did come around it just sent chills down our spine. We all are freaking out in our heads about 'what does she know' 'what is she going to say' 'please god let it be someone else'. She looked so unassuming, but the pitbull was there for sure.
I know nothing about GT after I left. I know they moved across the parking lot to the basement where the porn photographer used to be. That was after my time though. They were still on the 1st floor of "the building" when I left.
To comment on sanitation- that place really was filthy. There were bugs, rodents and I never saw anybody initiate a true deep cleaning day. That's what comes of not having any ventilation. It had that constant ickiness like a 24 hour diner.
I've had a couple of odd memories this morning thanks to you. I remembered how god awful and unasanitary the ChuckWagon food was. And did you happen to be there when a barbershop quartet came in to entertain us delinquents? It was so surreal- old men in their red and white pinstriped outfits harmonizing while we sat on the floor under those pink lights. What a weird moment.
I remember one more force on girl's side- Andrea, can't remember her last name. Total butch.
I sent you a pm.

anyone remember RB, MB's son who was on staff? fat, know-it-all . oh god, what a pussy he was. these posts totally brought up some memories, and the ones of him made me nausuas. ::puke::

Did you get the invite? Can you just show up? Do you know people who still work there?
Is that how you could still get in? Fill us in.

i obviously did something to upset you while you were there, trust me if i could take it back i would, its too bad in life you cant call "do over"
try and remember that i got locked in the same as you did, i got brainwashed just like you did, you might have realized it sooner than i did.
