MILLER'S LATEST BOOK
LET'S MAKE THE RATING "O" STARS FOR NEWTON
JUST GO TO AMAZON AND WRITE YOUR OWN REVIEW
Easy math. He doesn't sell books, he doesn't get another book deal, he doesn't make money, he loses even more respect.
People who have never heard anything bad about him or Kids or Straight and their "treatment methods" look at book reviews on amazon...
Also be sure to click "yes" below the existing reviews which expose the truth about him, and "no" below all his groupie's reviews. There are more of us so let's make the numbers work against selling of his books and against their credibility...
1)Adolescence: Guiding Youth Through the Perilous Ordeal

Unfortunitly, the links don't work. You have to go to Amazon and search for the book title or author.

But its a great idea. We can also do the same at Barnes-Noble's website.

From the Amazon web page.... Looks like Tony finds the other reviews offensive.... Poor guy. He actually used his name on the review page so that the entire world can see he is associated or supports Dr. Miller Cassian Newton's form of child abuse. He failed to mention or defend the fact that Miller Newton has paid millions to offset CHILD ABUSE lawsuits.... He failed to mention that he himself was charged with kidnapping. He failed to mention that he is a criminal just like Newty Baby by supporting this child abuse factory for all of these years! Tony you are a jackass! Wake up! There is an entire life out there that you are missing!

Good for professional or lay person, September 26, 2003
Reviewer: Anthony Kozakiewicz
Comprehensive text on the transition through adolescence. Covers many of the pitfalls such as peer and societal pressures, drug/alcohol abuse and eating disorders. Based on previous reviews, it sounds like a book for the EDUCATED reader
-
Does anyone realize that Tony works in a school in Bergen County as a school phycologist? Is that scary or what? Just think of all those unsuspecting parents and kids looking for help in his school. Do you think he practices "KIDS" stuff on them or does he used what he went to college for. If he doesn't practice what he was taught by Newton, then he is a hipocrate! I think his wife works in a school system in BC too. Those poor kids! I wonder if they treat their own kids the way they treated us when we were in the program...2nd. generation KIDS. Yikes!!!!!
-
Wow. That is pretty scary! I wonder if kids are being restrained in the classrooms of Bergen County. You know that post from Amazon, which Tony wrote, is typical 'NEWTON BRAINWASHED' thinking. They are always fighting back that anyone who is no longer associated with the program, (which is only Newton and a few) has no credentials. Hey, I'm no longer involved, I still have many credentials and best of all I am not in bankruptcy from my actions... Hmmm. I hope one day Tony and his wife (whom I don't know) and the others break off from the grip Newton still has (scary) so they can see true reality. It is really unfortunate that there are still people willing to give themselves to such a piece of garbage.
-
What's even scarier is that even after all the lawsuits, settlements, closures of all his programs, and the bad press, Tony and others still think that Miller Newton is a god. What a twisted way to think. Now Tony has access to the school children of Bergen County! Not really the person I would want my child to go to if there was a problem.
-
hey, do you think that he tells the kids in his school that is all right to "dis" their parents? After all, that is what he did to his family. can you imagine a 30 something, professional, supposedly inteligent, person not having anything to do with his own family. Well, that is what Tony did. How professional is that? Newton still has a hold on him!!!How can anyone turn their back on parents who have not done anything wrong except not support Newton. Go figure!
-
I am a Mom of a former Kids inmate that was there for a short time in 1996. I wized up pretty quickly and took him out but the damage was done and he passed away in 1997. He was a good son and I will never forgive myself for thinking those sick people would help him. I have been reading posts here for a long time because it eats at me and I want to see Newton and all his cronies destroyed. I would never have posted if I had not read the post about Anthony Kozakiewicz being a school psychologist in Bergen County. He was VERY cruel to me and alot of others and I would like to pay him a visit. I live in Bergen County. PLEASE, if anyone knows what school system that he is in let me know. God Bless you ALL. You are survivors!!
-
I just want to add one quick thing. Tony K. told everyone in Kids that he was really close to his Dad and that his dad died. Even Jackie G. talked about how she had no family( basically an orphan on her own.) I guess all that stuff they said was a crock of shit. They don't even know the first thing about family.
-
I would love to know why people like Tony, Drew and Jackie push their families away even now. I thought the objective was to bring families closer?! It has been almost 19 years since the scumbag Newtons came here and destroyed much more than can be known. The lawsuits, the press, the testimonials, all about his abuse have not sunk in their heads??!! What the F@#K! They are having kids that their mothers and siblings cannot know? That's real nice Tony! You know how it feels to lose a parent yet you will allow your children to not know your and your wife's family. And your a psychologist? Did you get your degree the same place where Cassian (your god) got his? I can only hope that one day anyone still loyal to these brainwashing freaks wakes up and realizes that the Newtons were nothing but professional con artists!

Thats not Bergen County! Close enough though - I am on a mission now. I will track him down and let his superiors know where he came from and what he has done to others. Maybe they will reconsider someone like him working with children. It makes my hair stand on end to think that unsuspecting parents are allowing him to be alone with their troubled children. Bye for now and THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!
-
i know it sounds scary to think of Tony having anything to do with children, but I can't really believe that he uses the same tactics as he did in Kids. He is just a BIG PHONY. I don't think that kids are in any danger from him, or else someone would have noticed something before now. Let's not get off the track and start a witch hunt. Let's keep focused on the real enemy [MN]. What can we get from destroying Tony's life, especially when he has a family to support. HIs children are not to blame. As for not seeing his family...that is his problem. I remember his family, and believe me when I say that they don't deserve that kind of treatment. They are better off without him, and they probably know it by now. He can't help the fact that he is just plain stupid. Someday he will wake up and wonder why he wasted so many years. being a jerk. Please stay calm, don't go on a mission to ruin him. That is not for his sake that I say that, it is for yours. Nothing good can come from that kind of action. He is not in his right mind. At least that is my way of thinking.
-
Jackie an orphan??That is a laugh. I remember her family coming to Kids many years ago. I don't remember how many siblings she had, but I do know that she had a large family. If she feels like an orphan, that it is because Dr. Newton told her to stop any contact with her "horrible" family. It was probably because they didn't bow down to Dr. N anymore, and he got mad. It didn't take much for him to decide that someone should not see their family anymore. It really is so sad to think that her kids don't even know their grandparents, aunts, uncles, and maybe even cousins by now. Only in a cult could something like this happen.
-
This will probably be an unpopular opinion - but, to the parent "on a mission" I wanted to throw it out there.
I hear your anger and I can't actually imagine in your situation how you must feel about KIDS. I just still think of Tony as a victim. And, I did hear him testify at the recent trial and I really think if we look at it rationally, there is no way that in his role as school psych that he is a danger to children, being "alone with them" etc. From seeing him on the stand, I feel certain that while he will not renounce MN, that is not the method he uses in his job.
I just question possibly ruining a man's life, (career anyway) - when in my view it is STILL and always will be - just MN and RAM who deserve that consequense.

Interesting opinion Christy, one that I probably agree with...on the other hand, there was a debate on the El Paso board on whether the McCormack's should be relieved of responsibility for what happened in El Paso.
Were they also brainwashed? When does the responsibility fall on the individual, particularly when Miller's whole "kingdom" has crumbled.
Should the McCormacks and people like Tony, be held responsible for decisions they made (in the Mc's case) that they have never been repentent for or continue to make, in Tony's case?
Ineresting debate.
-
I agree with Christy on the point that Tony is "still" a victim of the Newton regime. It's probably hard to think that way since he has abused many of you. Understandable! I was there when he was a phaser and just made it to staff so I have never really seen him in that much action but I can remember him as aggressive. I have read and heard many BAD things about him after I left. I also agree that hunting down Tony through his employer will only cause problems, less if done correctly. A note to the school system is not inappropriate. It is children we are talking about here. A concern is a concern! It's your choice. However I must say that the people involved with the Newtons and/or Semblers to this day need to be watched. There are still operating "straight/kids" like programs out there. How do we know they will not start another "cult" somewhere!? Maybe not tomorrow or a year from now but what about 5 or 10 years from now. Someone like Tony who is weak minded and only thinks one way could be a candidate to start the new and improved KIDS. Of course under another name like "Children Beating Children". It was easy enough for the semblers, the newtons, seebler and others out there. It could be just as easy if we allow people, towns, states to forget Newtons legacy. That should be our focus. Although the occasional bashing of "Newty People" is comical.
-
As a parent I am concerned that Tony and others like him can influence children in school. It is his way of thinking and his suggestions to the children that worries me the most. I would not want him helping my child. What kind of coping skills will he teach them???? If your parents don't follow the same beliefs you should not talk to them? Do we want children who are going through puberty to think the feelings that they have are wrong or abnormal? Do we want them to think that everything they do wrong is cause they have problems instead of just realizing that everyone is not perfect and we all make mistakes.
-
i've gotta say i think it is perfectly fine to go after tony at his job. not in a negative manner, but merely to inform the school system of his background and direct them to this website. i don't think there is anything wrong with that. it is far from a witch hunt. most of the people on this board experienced his abuse first hand. as far as him being a victim of old man miller, of course he was, but that does not let him off the hook as far as his own behavior goes. i don't think he should be treated lightly, especially when he is in a position of authority over children and there lives. he has shown an abuse of power in the past and there is no reason to believe he won't abuse that power again. i say write the letter and if it destroys his career so what! better to destroy his career than to allow him to potentially destroy the lives of the children he is in charge of. if his own past actions destroy his life, well than too f**king bad! maybe he should try making amends to the people he hurt in the past. he could post on this site if he had the balls! to the parent who posted here, god bless you and good luck!

1) I completely agree that Tony is a victim
just as all of us were and I would hope that
anyone going after him would use some compassion
in going after him.
2) Those on staff at kids, and those on their
higher phases were also "victims". In their role
of "authority" a great deal of damage and suffering
was inflicted on others.
As long as their are programs modelled after kids
and straight, and as long as Tony is thinks that
the treatment model used at Kids is acceptable,
as long as he thinks that no fault lies with Newton
or Kids method of "treatment" he is a threat to any
child, adolescent or teenager he comes in contact with.
and last but not least...
3) Since Miller and Ruth Ann's son was also in Straight,
and they began merely as parents, one could argue that
they too were "brainwashed" or "victims".
-
Why, out of the 360 something people have looked at this topic are their only 7 reviews of his book, and 2 of them are favorable?
No more book deals for Miller. Keep them coming.
-
I have written at least 4 reviews on various Newton books yet nothing has been posted. I know it takes 5 days but it's been longer.... I'll keep trying!
-
I really see all those points and my head spins when I try to take a firm stand - the truth is it is just sad and complicated. I spent some time with Tony's Mom at the trial and what is also sad is how much she hurts over what must feel like "losing" him. I can't say I saw any compassion from him to her when they were in same courthouse. That is heartbreaking. She gave birth to him.
I am glad I am not in charge of determining fault b/c I would be a horrible judge! Personally, for some reason, I feel convicted only about the monumental responsibility and guilt of Miller & Ruth Ann Newton.

I need to know what school/town he works in. I have a child who will be attending school in bergen county, and I don't want him near Tony.

jersey city..... it's hudson cty not bergen

Can anyone tell me how to review these books. I can't seem to be able to find where you can review it. I would hate to think of Dr. Newton making any money from some poor unsuspecting parents. Isn't there anything that can be done to undermine the sales?
-
You can go to http://www.amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com).
Do a search under "books" for Miller Newton.
All his books will come up.
Select one (click it).
When the new page loads scroll down to the bottom. You can vote yes or no on pre-existing reviews / if they were helpful or not.
You can also post your own review up to 1000 words I think. I don't know if there is a limit on reviews, but mine didn't get put up there either. Maybe it was just too harsh. We'll see in a few days.
-
When I get it together I'll post a list of people, organizations, etc. who are promoting his books, requiring them for classes, etc. You can find them on the internet, but I bookmarked a bunch. I'll get to it when I can.
Real busy.
In hopes that these people are simply unaware of what happened, what the truth is and what his books don't say, we can inform them.
-
Looks like our reviews are slowly getting up there. Mine finally made it up.
Miller is down to one star the lowest rating!
Let's keep it that way.
Tony and the anon. shrink are the only ones with a positive review.
-
What are Drew and Jackie up to these days? What type of work? Just curious after all the Tony K posts....

Because some of us aren't into your brand of activism, thank you.
Just because you think it's a great attack on Newton to write scathing reviews on a book website, doesn't mean the rest of us think it's a good plan.
REmember that a certain percentage of those views are from the same people. That statistic doesn't reflect indiviual readers of this thread...
-
I would like to know about them too. I never liked Drew [quite the bully], but even though Jackie could come on too strong at times, I still remember her nuturing side too. She did help me through some hard times. How she married HIM is beyond me. Iwould love to know how their kids are. Does anyone know if they treat them like they did us? I would be interesting to find out. Also, I keep wondering why in world that whole group still stays together and looks up to newton. I will never be able to figure that one out.
-
They live in Mt Holly NJ, her a schoolteacher (last I knew in Hawthorne?? dont know now) and he Mr. Business-man, I THINK but not sure he is with that MetPath or whatever connection Miller set him up with after he left staff.
-
Has anyone else noticed that ALL quotes for Newton's book have been deleeted? That it now reads "be the first person to review this book?" Sounds like he might have caught wind of all the bad reviews. Anyone want to post the first new review? Amazon wiped them out.
-
I wrote reviews for ALL his books on Amazon about a year ago. THere were about 3 or 4 reviews per book...all negative....now they're ALL gone. What's up??? :eek:
