Title: Montel Williams: Sends a Kid to Red Rock Canyon School
Post by: hanzomon4 on July 19, 2007, 04:14:42 PM
Well we can write this asshole off as a traitor. As most of you know he did a show on Straight and WWASPS where survivors told their stories. You'd think that he would learn from this but no. A year ago he did a show were he praised the mother and daughter team who wrote a book praising  WWASPS.

Well now he's gone off and pulled a Dr.Phil. He's sending a 14 year old to a program in Utah called Red Rock Canyon School. I missed the name but he's using some escort service as well. They got this lady on there who is saying how this 14 kid is murder his sister and her baby if the don't send him to a program, my God...

The show is called Ticking Time Bombs:People on the Edge (http://http://www.montelshow.com/show/today/thursday/)

Disgusting he's now running "Is your child in crisis? Call Montel" ads ::puke::

EDIT: It appears that this kid has spent time in other programs. At the end of the show he said thats how he ended up at Hopard?(I couldn't really catch the name) "by them(?) making it look all nice". This sounds like a kid who knows that program reality doesn't match the brochures from experience.

My kid was at Red Rock Canyon.  Not a WWASP run program.  I can say that this school pretty much is and does what it says, unlike WWASP programs.  I am not pushing this school, and I don't refer, never have, and never worked there either, just in case someone wants to troll in here.

Shame on Montel.  Hypocrate!

What was the reason you placed your child in Red Rock Canyon?

Absolutely not.  It's one of Sue Sheff's favorite programs, actually (see WWASP vs PURE transcript).  Coincidence?

Hi Sue!  We all know how much you just LOVE to post online as other people, pushing your own programs.  The judge will not be amused (and he wasn't too happy the last time, either).

The choice was Provo Canyon or Red Rock but the psychiatrist decided on Provo since it was more clinical setting.

I guess you never heard of Gayle Palmer DeGraff? I guess you never heard of Sue Scheff? In what possible fantasyland was Red Rock Canyon "unlike WWASPS programs"?

Post by: Covergaard on July 20, 2007, 04:13:00 AM
The school seems to be where they claim it is. The buildings on their website is not fake, which is a good thing.

Google maps (http://http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=747+St.+George+Boulevard,+utah+84770&ie=UTF8&ll=37.110358,-113.56723&spn=0.001283,0.003573&t=k&z=18&om=1)

Another source from people periodicly leaving their office for a cup of coffee in return for a good report is the School Accreditation office in Utah (How do you get to work there? Easy money for nothing).

List of schools the have visited (http://http://www.schools.utah.gov/curr/accred/reports/teamreports.htm).

They have a report for Red Rock and it seems that they do seem offer some kind of school there, but as always the visitation report states that we are living in 2007, where students should have benefit of the internet.
Visitation report (http://http://www.schools.utah.gov/curr/accred/reports/TeamReports/RedRockCanyon.pdf)

Parents are happy - former workers and detainees not. From another forum: Tread (http://http://www.topix.net/forum/city/leeds-ut/T8FDMDJVA6G20UBJ2).

They do not use a level system, but communication in the start is not existing. From the above tread.

I understand that parents are not allowed to speak with their child for up to 21 days after arrival, is that true? Mine was a "captured" runaway, taken to the facility by a total stranger. I am mortified my child will be subjected to meds again!
.

Like most places there is a myspace group (http://http://groups.myspace.com/redrock)

My conclusion is that it is one of the finer jails, but still - it is a jail.

Some info on Red Rock is in the WWASP vs PURE transcripts.

See Page 187 of the scanned document (page 181 of the pdf).  Eventually, I am going to post my annotated, text-searchable versions here.
A little information on that here:
http://wwf.fornits.com/viewtopic.php?p=224754#224754 (http://wwf.fornits.com/viewtopic.php?p=224754#224754)

Also see page 171 (pdf 165):

When asked if any of her "staff" had visited Red Rock to inspect the place, Sue responds:
Quote
"A. the word "staff" there are -- everyone was a volunteer.  Parents helping parents.  i had a friend that visited that school and met with D. Bernie Farrow and Arlene Farrow.
Q. Now, when we took your deposition, you didn't remember anybody that did that, did you?
A. I don't recall what I said in my deposition, but I have thought about it.  Even one of the parents that reminded me that Gayle did go out there and sit down with Arlene and Dr. Farrow.
Q. Gayle who?
A. Gayle DeGraff.
Q. Well, Gayle DeGraff was the admissions director at Red rock Canyon Schools in St. George at the time, wasn't she?
A. That is correct.
Q. So she is the one that did the research for Cedar Mountain Academy for PURE?
A. She is the one that looked into it for us because she knew -- we had been referring to Red Rock.  And Red Rock and Cedar Mountain are two completely different schools and they were looking for a transitional school for even the kids that were coming out of Red Rock.
Q. You had never been to Red Rock?
A. At that date I had not.  I have been since."


Anybody Know Who Gayle DeGraff/Palmer is?  Ever heard of Michelle Sutton?  That is the girl she was responsible for letting die of dehydration.

Gayle Depalmer is like a bad penny. Turns up every damn place you least expect her. Except in jail, but here is for hoping.

A group of fornits activists could find out Montel is doing a show on this topic, you could disrupt his show with protest it would be good media exposure.
