Son of Serbia,

It is incredibly heartbreaking to hear the horrible actions of those disturbed individuals. I'm sorry that you had to experience that.

I heard something that needs clarification. If possible I'd like to know more details, or at least understand HOW this could happen:
Rumor has it (from a little sister source) that soon after I "GRADUATED" from that special environment a new kid ran away. (I'm afraid this isn't an isolated incident) he was successfully picked up by a logging vehicle with a male inside, presumably driving it, the RMA escapee gets in. The child is raped by the man.

When he returned to RMA (as soon as you think you're out, they pull you back in) he did go through the legal process of bringing criminal charges against the assailant.

RMA "assisted" him in dealing with the obvious emotional fallout from such an occurrence.                        

All of the above is hearsay, and I only heard about it this week. It sounds like a real nightmare and my heart goes out to this boy (in this case) who not only went through this assault (Castle, no pun intended you sicko), but if they suffered from the emotional fallout of dealing with their traumas under the guise of CEDU therapy.

That is one thing I would like to hear more about. If it's true that there were filings made, even though the victim was  a minor at the time, confirmation of the facts can be attained.


Yes, I recall that incident.  I can't remember his name but I will never forget the look on his face during his first rap back. I remember how dstroyed he looked, how broken, especially given that he rape was a major source of discussion, both in and out of the raps. I always wondered why RMA insisted on subjecting him to further shame. He had absolutely no one to protect him or comfort him.  There was no additional therapy other the raps where the mentally abused him further in an effort to teach the rest of us what could happen should we ever decide to leave. The boy in question was torned down and built back up in the RMA model...it was truly disgusting. I don't really remember anyone saying that there was an investigation.

Yes, your story brought back memories. I do think we may know of each other. I was there in 89, 90.

I was 14 years old when I ran away from Cedu.  I believe my total was 15 times in 6 months, including a 21 day survival program in Idaho.  Each time CEDU coached my parents to ignore my pleas and desperation to come home.  Countless phone calls were ultimately denied in order to teach me the lesson that CEDU was the only answer.  My parents had two different PI companies looking for me...with only one guy successful.  At the end, they would find me, return me, process me and I would be right back out again. At the end, it was a game to me and I think, eventually, they decided they had to teach the others a lesson but not allowing me back and instead sending me to RMA.

I stayed at RMA for about nine months then left when my friend, David, graduated...so desperate I left mid-blizzard and only got to Bonners, if even that.  Had a pretty lengthy punishment, if I remember correctly, only to get in trouble a few months later when I accidently punched another student in the jaw. Nicole, if you ever read this, I am sorry. Only moments before the incident, I had just heard that my sister, who I hadn't seen in a year plus, were not coming to visit me...I hated the situation I was in and I hated everything to do with that wicked place. After I hit Nicole, I was seperated from the rest of the students and kept in a room with only one other person to supervise me while RMA determined what should be done with me. Eventually, I was sent to a former staff members home where I spent a lovely Christmas with him and his family - I felt more a part of something there than I had felt at RMA. DIscussions were intense as people decided my fate...should I be sent to Provo, a six month wilderness school or back to the 21 day program...either way for whatever reason I was to be returned, eventually to RMA.  RMA would not fucking let me or my parents money go! Did another 21 day wilderness program and afterward sent back to RMA.  After that second trip, I suppose I was scared so I pretended to follow the program. Played the game and months later ran away with Danielle..had the adventure of our lives, some good, some bad. After no contact with my family for three weeks, I decided to call home. Finally, after almost two years of torture and tears, they agreed to bring me home. I can't even begin to explain how incredible it felt to be wanted by my family again. Years later, my Dad told me everything RMA/CEDU did to "convince" them to see it the "right and strong" way. Even to the bitter end, RMA tried to get my parents to lie to me and make me believe I was coming home to then snatch me up and return me to that hellhole. Things were tough afterward as I Danielle and I both struggled to regain our real understanding of who were were and our place in the real world. I'm 32 years old and I'm still haunted by the dark memories and moved by friendship that help get me through it all.

Danielle and I ended up on the run for about a month.  During that time I couldn't call me parents because I couldn't take the rejection over and over again and I didn't want to get sent away ever again.  But, at the end of the month, I finally called and my sister who answer the phone asked me to ask one more time.  I did and I finally heard the words I had been dreaming of for almost a year and a half...I was coming home.

David was a very young thirteen when he came to RMA.  From the beginning, you could tell him was sensitive.  I suppose originally we became friends because we were both the youngest students at that time and we had very similar stories.  The raps were the hardest on him and often times he would try to defends his friend in the hot seat only to get worst yelling at him. Soon after I left, he just gave up and ranaway.  He evenutally got to go home but I think the damage was done. He and I would speak quite often and he just never felt a part of anything after RMA.  He developed a couple of habits along the way to help numb himself, I suppose.  After a while it became a little much for me to handle and we began to drift about.  I can't recall how long along the incident with David happened but I do know that in the end he copped to it all...and so now he sits in jail alone again.

David was not a bad kid.  Before RMA he never did any drugs or was violent...something up there made him change.
