It's struck me that this recent buy-out of old CEDU schools and other programs owned by large venture-capitalist conglomerates represents not a strength but a serious vulnerability.
The reason for this is that the bigwigs don't care one way or another about what it is they own; they're just interested in money and empire. They're not programmies and they don't have a vested interest in child abuse.
Therefore, the way to cause them to abandon their acquisitions is simply to make them undesirable to keep.
This can either be done on a personal level (conversations, well-written letters, picketing their houses) or financial (remember, malpractice lawyers love deep pockets!). If the scandal or the cash-bleed gets too large, they'll shut it down. Who wants to keep something if it's causing you endless personal grief, you're repeatedly being portrayed as a child abuser (which, if you're keeping these places open, you are) and lawyers are suing your ass off for having it?
Rich capitalists won't be nearly as tenacious to hold on to it as, say, Len Buccellato.

Oh yeah. Peninsula Village is owned by a healthcare group called Covenant Health, and I'm sure another lawsuit or E.Coli outbreak would have the moneychangers wringing their hands. After all, they've got their good standing in the community to worry about. It doesn't look good for the annual Covenant Marathon in Knoxville to suddenly be linked to fucking up kids.

How many fornits posters lives near there. I think it's a good time to crash the party. Perhaps a sit-down protest / flier campaign is in order. Maybe it's time to make copies of those photos...

Actually I think it would be much more effective to participate in the race wearing "Covenant Health Funds Child Abuse At Peninsula Village" shirts (with the photos on the back side of the shirt)- especially if you can get the eventual winner of the marathon to wear it...

Deeeeeep Pockets.
"Intentional Inflicting of Emotional Distress"
"Punitive Damages"
"Class Action Lawsuit"
"Wrongful Death Suits"
"Accepted on a Contingency Basis"
I can hear the splashes as avaricious droplets of attorney-drool hit the floor like rain.

Yeah! :rofl: I can wear a t-shirt that says "My daughter was abused at Peninsula Village" on the front and "Covenant Health sponsors child abuse, too" I used to run regularly, that sounds like a good reason to start back up. Seriously, a great idea.

My wife didn't sign any releases, ever. Now custody has reverted...you see the direction this goes.

This one went down the page WAY too fast, so I'm flipkicking it to the top again.
Surely people must have more to say on this topic than they do on meaningless conversations with programmies?

HELP! If Aspn can be nailed, it puts every other bad program at serious risk (esp. PV which is in need of a fresh round of attack and is most similar to Aspn in terms of their corporate set up) and there's an opening right now if we can gather resources.[/b]

Attacking their corporate setup sounds like the best way to shake them up. Big business would lose interest in programs quickly if regulations had to be followed. They smell money like sharks smell blood. PV gets $9000 a month per kid (private pay), and they don't put out anything other than a "bed box', food below public school cafeteria standards, chemical and mechanical restraints, a few underpaid staffers and maybe overpaid clinicians. That's a big fix for money junkies, and health care MegaMarts can't resist. They'll run like hell if they're held to regulations, or lawsuits rob them of their bottom line and cause a PR nightmare.
