"Intervention" Program
Anonymous:
I was recently at RC and I talked with one of the staff down there about the intervention. Also, I know numerous students that have been on interventions and to quote the person I talked to, "If they don't learn from it, we just have to make it stricter and stricter."
From talking to many kids whom were on the most recent intervention, it consists of pretty much hiking all day with a lot of excessive weight. You are given one Nalgene (I didn't ask about how often you are aloud to refill water). The food you get is consisted of all of the rejected items from people at RC. They are generally the things that no sane person would eat. You are given one scrap (a piece of MRE) per hour of hiking and recently they started making them eat while they hiked. About sleep, they are given minimal sleep. And they do not have to be given it all at once. Again, this is coming from a staff at RC that I talked to, they can put you one the side of the road for 20 minutes in broad daylight at a time throughout the day as long as they get 6 hours total per 24 hours.
My personal opinion on it is that there are some kids there that absolutly need to get their asses kicked and need something to get them in line. With the excessive amount of intimidation on campus, some of the kids that intimidate seriously need to get intimidated themselves. But, it is true that they do not need your parents consent to send you and they do not tell your parents right away and when they do, they downsize it as, "A more intense form of RCI" Quite honestly, that by itself invokes a whole ton of fear upon everybody knowing that they can be accused of something and then they are gone.
Well, this is coming from somebody who was there, so have fun =)

This sounds like child abuse to me. How is allowed to continue?
Anne Bonney:
It is child abuse. Think what would happen if a parent tried that shit at home?
It continues because of greedy, self righteous assholes with a fucking savior complex that con gullible or inept parents into believing that teenagers need to be controlled. They view adolescence as a pathology (I know I keep repeating that but it's one of the major issues we're dealing with here), something to be treated or cleansed or beaten out of them. Not unlike exorcisms.

I always felt that alot of problems stemmed from parents not realizing that parenting is a full time job. Some people should never become parents period.
