From Wes' site:
"In Feb 82 Straight-Atlanta settled with 3 kids represented by the ACLU who claimed they were suffering "inhumane treatment". ( St Petersburg Times, 2-5-82)
3/19/85
"Susan W. Milan AKA Susan White Straight-Atlanta
Ms. Milan represented by ACLU. Alleged medical malpractice, false imprisonment, fraud, assault.
ACLU contact President Bruce Morris US District Court. awarded $37K for peanut butter diets."
" in 1973 at the St Pete Seed with Roger Young, then to Jeff Bourgholtzer whose dad became a founding board member of Straight (Leonard Lubin, ACLU represented both boys)"
If you read through
http://thestraights.com/legal/matrix-civil-criminal.htm it seems to me there's plenty of culpability by St. Pete, Pinellas and St of Florida. Whether or not we can get any accountability out of them (finally, forchristsake!!) is another question.
Well, it can't hurt to contact the ACLU. Note that they've been involved before, they have something on file and yet the beat goes on (ya-da-da-da-dum-da-da). Times change. In the `80's, anything done in the name of the drug war was okee dokee by most people. That's changed somewhat. Maybe enough to get some serious attention for our cause?
