"My {103} years of working with teenagers have given me a sense of omniscience about life -- as though I'm standing on top of a high hill with a panoramic view, watching each of my students struggle with the obstacle course of adolescence and knowing in advance what the outcome will be, by the way each tackles the course."

God DAMN! Everytime I think it can't get creepier it does. Straight's flagship program and headquarters were in St. Petersburg (my home town, still here).
I've never heard of the guy, but that's not saying much. I had no idea that Straight went on or that there were other similar programs out there until just a few years ago. I was driving down the road and saw a billboard addressed to Straight Survivors. A week or so later there was an article in the Times that my mother pointed out to me. It listed Arnold Trebach's site and I found Fornits from there. Until then I thought Straight and it's concept died out a long time back.
Silly me.
Botched Programming:
I can totally identify as when I got out of Straight I was definitely not looking for another place like Straight. While I was in the Atlanta Straight I about freaked out when a guy from the St Pete location was transferred there because he was misbehaving and I guess was too much for staff there. I remembered the freaking song we use to sing in Open Meetings that said that it started in St Pete, but they never said it was like cancer and spreaded all over the US.
As far as it goes Teen Torture and Child Abuse was a money making venture for Mel and Betty Sembler and they wanted as much of it as they could get. More kids = More money.

Hey... You in this business too? I don't seem to remember you from the annual Milk Them Fuckin Suckers For All They've Got meetings, but hey, the industry is growing... Long as we keep ol Bush Bits at the podium, there should be enough room for all of us, Har-de-Har Har Har!
