Thomas M Burton, a most honorable and good man, was once my attorney. These "schools" drain life from children for profit while violating state and federal law; in one case I was witness to staff from an Idaho "school" harassing, following, and arranging for false charges to be filed against those able to try to bring justice and healing to their victims. In said case, many years after a vocal victim had given up hope, persons came forward to ask for forgiveness after confessing exactly what they had done; God had shown them his glory.
Sir, I am one such victim. Every year around Christmas I have horrible nightmares over the great injustice I was dealt. Nightmares that have gone on for over a decade; I am not the only person suffering the same torture.
I so loved law and the principles behind it in my youth, to such a point I spent hours reading books at the local court sometimes skipping P.E. as it was my last class and felt it not as intriguing. After my kidnapping to Idaho the beautiful lady justice that once in my mind shined like the sun atop a mountain of truth and integrity with even scales now appeared as a whore with the sins of injustice on her back. No child should be treated as we were without having guilt of a serious crime; much less when our physical (sexual in 2 cases I know of and witnessed) abuse was carefully masked as "tough love" at the rate of 250 U.S.D. per day.
Burton restored my, and my fellow victims, faith. I may have not completed my goal, however one "school" had to change names and hide for some years. (While doing their best to silence us) We are adults now, not the boys they tortured for their own sick entertainment. We, yes WE, will stop this most vile and unjust abuse to ensure the fear, nightmares, pain, and emotional scars WE face will never be placed on another human child again; it must die with us and never return.
Children have died Sir; look at the photos of the dead and read their words. You have no idea now horrible the persons Burton goes after are nor have you earned the right to comment on this subject. Friends of mine tried to take their own life in front of me, one throwing himself off a cliff. Have you ever seen a 15Yo boy hit a cliff from several hundred feet off the ground? The human body bounces with a sound and wail. Said boy was not mentally ill nor lacking standard mental capacity.
"...send our boys to dark and bloody battlefields only to return physically handicapped and psychologically deranged ... I dont know about you but I dont want to study war no more." M.L. King
We returned from hell and few listened; what happens in these dark places is considered unacceptable for convicted murderers and enemy soldiers during conventional war. But we were children; all held w/o trial or a phone call.
Damn you sir, you have not earned the right to discuss such matters.
