Yes, they used food as punishment. While on restrictions you had a limited number of minutes to eat. If you didn't throw your food away when trash came by you were further punished. If you talked during the meal, which was taken outside away from the group, your meal would be taken away.

Cindy why are you asking about it? You told me that you were well aware that your daughter was placed on the restriction diet while at SUWS, and that you were okay with it.

Seems like maybe a brutal counselor? it appears they aborted this practice years ago but still I dont understand why they would do this or what they expected to gain. Pissing the kid off more or having them malnourished isnt going to help things from an educational perspective or emotional one.
--- Quote --- The head of the Nutrition Dept at my local community college warned that this diet, at less than half the USDA requirement for an active teen, was inadequate. While on restriction the teen is required to do extra physical training and subject to work details.

Actually that was my second question. A restrictive diet isnt necessarily a bad thing if they stay within the guide lines or under the direction of a nutritionist, but kids need a minimum number of calories to stay healthy and grow. As a minimum, restriction or no restriction this should be adhered to.

No, it wasn't a brutal counselor - this was protocol for any kid going on Restrictions. (But maybe Len can speak about this better since they were his rules.)
No to your other question/statement. The Restriction diet was not done away with years ago. It may have ceased this past fall as a result of ORS's investigation into HLA/RCI, but ONLY because of that investigation.

As to the "why" would they do this? Simple: break the kid down. Deprive them of food and sleep to force them to modify their behavior.
