Well, in a strange turn of events, a dear friend of mine took a job as teacher at what ended up being the distant atlanta straight descendant. He invited me recently to come check out the place and meet and speak with the kids there. Reluctantly, I went. I am SO glad I did now! I am here to tell you there is NOTHING left of the ways of Straight inc in this particular program. The kids all wore clothes just like normal kids their age, they were allowed to speak thier minds. They each had individual rooms much nicer than any college dorm ive ever see. Even the new kids were treated well, had their own rooms, their own stuff. They had a DVD player, they had stereos and make up in their rooms. No one watched anyone go to the bathroom. Thier eyes grew WIDE when i explained what a restraint was. They were allowed to speak to me unsupervised. All of them had positie things to say. There is nothing forcing them there. If they choose to run off, the facility calls 911, but no one physically touches them. I got to go on an outing with them. ALL OF THE KIDS got to go. I watched them play volleyball and be regular kids. Even the food was good! I had a big fat chicken sandwich and coleslaw. The average stay is 9 months. They have on sight certified classrooms. The director was very helpful, gave me free access to everywhere in the facility, and said he had some knowlege of Straight and that he has made certain things will never revert back to such horrors. It was really a good experience. I know all programs are not like this, but at least this one, for me, brought some closure.
