You will notice from the lack of
ANY activity, positive or negative on this forum that no one takes it seriously. If there were more than a couple of individuals who claim to have been abused by AARC, they would be flooding this forum, and the media with their accounts. This forum has run its course and even "mel" does not post here anymore.
Once again, a poster supporting AARC denigrates the forum itself. Why do these people post here? According to AARC, the Wizard's magic spells "cure" 85% of the children sent there, so what would compel a supporter to even acknowledge this forum?
Of course the reason is that AARC is entirely faith-based, so support for AARC is as fleeting as any other sentiment, and cannot be defended with facts or logic. This is very scary for someone who has constructed their life around a belief.
The media cannot be flooded with accounts of abuse because the media laps up the effluent spewed out by AARC. The two bird-cage liners in this town both compromised themselves by parroting the monosyllabic drivel put forth by the non-psychologist, non-former goalie, with no dilligence. At this point it would be very embarassing for the truth to come out. The same applies to television. The local stations have run many "feel-good" ads for AARC. When it comes out that the place is just a cult run by a charlatan, a lot of people are going to look really foolish. And folks in this little facsist burg don't like to look foolish. Particularly rich folks like the Empress of AARC. Saw her family name on the new building at the Foothills Hospital the other day. Now which journalist in Calgary, birthplace of Bre-X and former home of Graham James, is going to kick over this apple cart?
