Still others come to light when Ginger gets hit with the court order like ex-employee Marla (four moths ago, give or take), another former employee who I won't name because he hasn't made it public yet (the day before yesterday) and former patient "name withheld" because he hasn't gone public yet (today).
That's five in the past few months, three in the past week and two so far today, and there are probably more that I just haven't heard about yet.
You can see that they don't discriminate. They go after former patients and former employees - anyone who speaks out about being treated badly there.

Unbelievable! Westside was served today? Must have missed that. Where was it made public?

Anybody else get sued yet today? Just curious.
You know, I've been doing some thinking about this subject. As an MBA, I often ponder the effects of business decisions. I must admit that I am in a quandry as to why this facility would even want to broach the subject of suing its former patients.
It seems to me that not only does it look really bad from an ethical viewpoint, it is absolutely horrible from a public realtions perspective. Surely the marketing management cannot believe that this will do anything but severely constrict revenue.
Exactly how do these people think a prosepective client would view the constant campaign of lawsuits against former patients? If it were me, I would say to myself, "Gee, not only are they charging an exorbitant amount of money for their services, they might also sue me if I ever talk about my experiences." This is a definite deal-killer. There are no two ways about that. It simply looks, sounds and feels completely unethical.
My second point is that should any one of the targets of this baseless litigation take the matter to trial or even to discovery for that matter, there is going to be a heck of a lot of damaging information made a matter of public record.
The media is already beginning to seize upon the issues raised by former patients. Once there are publicly documented statements and evidence entered into the public record, the "anti-program" media is going to have an absolute hay-day with it. It's going to be picked up by outlets like AlterNet first, then it's going to spin off into more mainstream media and it's going to eventually find its way into anti-program websites like ISACCORP.org as a matter of abundantly documented public record for which there will be no rebuttal.
Are Kathleen and her cronies really so obtuse that they can't see which way the wind is blowing without checking the weathervane? It is absolutely astounding to me that these people even entertain the idea that they can prevent the dissemination of damaging information to media outlets through litigation against patients. I have the distinct intuition that this is going to blow up in their faces and destroy their already tenuous public image.

Yeah, but only when you call their bluff. Just talked to one of the targets. I can't say which one or which type of retribution they received. All I'll tell you is that they are seriously frightened!
If it makes ya'll feel any better, I've done this before. See http://fornits.com/anonanon/#Fay Never heard back from Lenny Englander about that, either, though I did get another letter demanding that I remove a website that I had nothing to do with. Come to think of it, I had way too many pots on the boil back then. I have a good many demand letters that I should scan in and publish. Think I'll just do that. I think I'll just call it the Dewey Cheetham & Howe Fan Club. (and no, I did not get that from Car Talk, but from the Three Stoodges, so there!)
The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. ... All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.
