--- Quote from: ""Guest"" ---You are correct, Robert.
--- Quote ---"DSS passed the information on to the state Office of Child Care Services, which sent an investigator, Eric Lieberman, to the academy.
Academy administrators told Lieberman it was true that students were denied sleep for 19 or 20 hours during the first LifeStep session, called "The Truth"

--- Quote ---Staff and students might stay up all night, then break for a nap between 5 and 7 a.m., then continue the session until 2 the next afternoon, the administrators said.
It (OCCS) cited the school for"using behavior management techniques which subject students to verbal abuse, ridicule and humiliation, denial ofsufficient sleep, and repetitive exercise as a response to an infraction of a rule."
OCCS also cited the school for monitoring students' telephone calls and mail. The agency said that the right to privacy incommunications, even for juveniles, can be restricted only by court order -- for example (editing note: this is exactly the argument TheWho used earlier in the thread and it's 100% illegal!), if a therapist believes that the teen's communication should be monitored, perhaps to support a young person through a crisis in relations with his orher family -- and then only temporarily.

This is undeniable proof that ASR is willingly, wontonly and intentionally breaking a law which absolutely does apply to them - and they've been doing it for years.
So this puts this issue to rest. Not only is ASR breaking the law, they've already been cited for it. Thanks for contacting ASR, Who and posting the results of your conversation. You've incriminated them. They must be thrilled about your being their field representative/mouthpiece!
You were saying, Who? :roll:

I havn't read the next two pages yet.. but i'm guessing he ignores this... or at least enough to bla bla bla on.

--- Quote from: ""Dysfunction Junction"" ---You don't have to let him hold everyone up, buddy. The facts have been laid bare on the table and TheWho was 100% wrong and you were 100% right. I mean, who are people going to believe? The public record of ASR being cited for this offense, or TheWho saying they're in compliance? This guy has no credibility at all It's time to move on, with or without TheWho...

Aggreed... CRUSH, KILL, DESTROY: ASR! (metaphorically of course)
Any idea on how to get the government to actually do anything about it... All I see so far is a slap on the wrist.
TheWho:
Anyone that has been in a debate or pulled their chair up to a meeting may understand or recognize that something is missing........ take a look at the last several pages .........Give it a few minutes ... Take your time............................................................................................................................................ Okay times up, what did you see? Nothing?.... you mean the table is empty? No requirements? No documentation? So what are they all referring to, what law? We have all been listening to chin music all day. People citing this happened, this is required, that is required. But when asked to provide the requirements we hear crickets. They all know ASR meets the requirements and the laws of Massachusetts. They are trying to use laws that apply to a mental hospital and apply it to ASR , which they are not.
Bottom line, take what you read here and ask the school when you call and say you heard it on Fornits, don’t panic they didn’t hang up on you, they need to clear their throats maybe....... and then ask away. They will clear up any concerns you have.
RobertBruce:
Right...so again are you arguing that ASR can be either a traditional boarding school but not required to follow the laws of such an institute or a theraputic boarding school that's not required to follow the laws of such an institute?
Which is it Cindy?

If they meet the law's requirements, why were they cited by the state for violating the law? Curious, isn't it?

We haven't even gotten to this other violation of the law yet, and it's even scarier!

This is good practice and very therapeutic, which is why ASR was cited fot it. :roll:
Bottom line is that ASR uses dangerous techniques that they've been cited for and illegally restricts communication for which they've also been cited.
