"committed" implies it is a medical facility. Can you find any license or accreditation for Benchmark? Thought not.
So you went willingly? How old were you?
Yeah I went willingly. I was told it was a boarding school.
I signed away my rights when I came into program.
What rights, exactly?
Read the constitution and figure it out yourself.
Although I could technically leave
What rights did you sign away if you could walk out the door at anytime?
I didn't sign away any rights, they just told me I did and denied me them anyway. If you want details, read my website (try not to skim, but actually read it).
what the hell could I do without ID, cash, clothes, food, water, shelter, etc...
Did they really throw you out naked?
When I said clothes, I meant apart from those on your back at the time. I figured that would be clear enough without having to explain the obvious.
Ha,Ha,Ha... if I was being abused or violated in any way, this wouldnt' stop me from leaving.
Ha, Ha, Ha ... How old are you. Maybe you should send yourself there. They'll find some issues (or create some brand new ones).
(and permanently when the money ran out).
You could of done what these people did, unless there is a pile of skeletons out front of Benchmark, they must of gone somewhere.
Look. I wish I had time to re-type my website but I don't. Most, if not all of your questions should be answered there. I don't have time to be redundant for you.
