Let's just say the McNultys didn't always strictly abide by rules like "no talking behind backs" and "what goes on here stays here."
The fact remains that all I learned about the Program while my family was involved w/ the Seed held true and came in very handy when I found myself in Straight.
It's so obvious. John's story is that all those excesses and all the brutality was the fault of rebellious, misbehaving St. Pete parents. But ask anybody who was in Cleveland. They all got strip searched too. So did the kids in Ft. Lauderdale. Thom says he doesn't remember it. But there's a lot he doesn't remember.
I do clearly remember knowing that a strip search was a part of intake and that people who tried to walk or run away would be tackled to the ground and held there till they gave up.
How did I come to think that? Was it some sort of mental telepathy w/ those misbehaving St. Pete parents? Or could it possibly be that these practices really were carried on from the Seed?
Your explanation just seems a little far fetched to me. Essentially, you're saying that all of us who remember these things are just delusional, bitter and/or making things up. It doesn't wash, Lauderdale. It just doesn't.

You were not in the Seed. Making sandwiches for the seed as a small child does not make you an ex -Seedling or a pro on the Seed. What are you talking about, so many people posting violent abuses and rapes, I only read a couple of postings. You are blowing thing way out of proportion. Straight and the Seed were two different places, please don't blur them.
The only abuses I remember at the Seed was when someone was in the hot seat, some people sometimes became a little to cruel, and for people or did not want to be there (forced by their parents) well of coures they would feel abused. The Seed was like a bootcamp , it was a tough love program, it worked for me.
John Underwood:
Strip searches: People atttempted to bring drugs into the program, usually pot. I can't even believe this needs explaining.

...and for the record, strip searches weren't arbitrarily decided upon as a pre-emptive, they began only after newcomers were caught with drugs on the premises at Andrews Ave.
