The Troubled Teen Industry / Ivy RIdge Protest
« on: April 03, 2005, 02:53:00 PM »
Send me more info about exactly what youre trying to do and I might be in (Re: antigen's post).  I was one of the first kids at Ivy Ridge and also have alot of phone numbers of people who might possibly be down for that too.  I'm a paralegal, so if you need any help finding out statues and laws in Ogdensburg, let me know.
 E-mail me back at :

LSwigert05@hotmail.com

Thanks Leah

I wasnt trying to collect success stories, I was trying to collect REAL stories.

I was wondering how many of you had a very hard time reconnecting with the real world and real people after you returned home from the program.  Was/Is it hard to make new friendships?Please tell me your thoughts on this, also add which program you went to, for how long, and did you graduate and anything else you want to add?

The Troubled Teen Industry / High Impact

Does anyone know the link to see the show Inside Edition did on High Impact?

All that I was trying to get at is that stories get switched around and sometimes in the program girls will make up stories to get a staff fired. Not saying thats what happened-just keep it in mind.
And just for the record let me give myself a little introduction.
Im 20 years old.  I graduated (april 2002) the program after  16 agonizing months.  I spent 12 months at SCL and 4 months at AIR, I was one of the first 5  jr staff sent to help get that program started. I wouldnt say I am pro-program or necessarily anti-program-just confused in the middle.  After 2+ years of wondering why I cant just forget about the program I started doing some of my own research and am disgusted with WWASP.   Since the program, I had a year of doing more drugs than I did before the program (dont do anything anymore) and I am finishing up my associates degree in paralegal studies- so thats me.

I wasnt tryin to excuse anyone's behavior-let me make this clear I AGREE THAT IT IS DISGUSTING AND WRONG ON THE ADULTS PART.  I guess I didnt make myself very clear.

no- not at all-
just bringing a new perspective to the issue
You must remember that there are people out there that if they have an issue with someone else will make up stories to bring that person down.  I am not saying that the whole thing didnt happen,  it very well could have.

I dont want to sound as though I'm taking up for Ivy Ridge- but alot of this stuff just doesnt sound right-- like Jason Finlinson flirting with the girls in there-- Jason Finlinson is barely a friendly person.  I just couldnt see him trying to flirt with one of the girls there.

honestly I wouldnt be surprised if the real story was that the girl offered these favors in exchange for a cigarette--- we do have to remember that there are some smuts in the program.

HI ivy ridgers
IF you remember me e-mail me sometime,  
hey I remember when they barely had enough staff and had the "jr staff" (level 4and up students) restrain the lower levels that were in OP
That cant be legal.

PS to those of you that remember me as an asshole please understand that I had to do what I had to do to get the hell out of that place  so please dont hold that against me
I am a changed person now that I have reconnected with the REAL WORLD.
