THIS is exactly the type of post we should see more of! Posts that lay it down with no need to wade through PAGE LONG articles!
Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with posting articles, but not everyone wants to read long articles. I'm one of them, at least most of the time. I like books, but I don't really like reading long articles online that much. It's just a personal thing. No offense to anyone who likes to post long articles, yes at least they're doing something...y'know, i'm just saying..

That's the point your moral compass is broken.
Instead of "N" at the top of your compass there is a "$" sign and a "C" for cult.
What an artistic tough guy - he bends noses.
Everyone bow down and chant - hmmmmmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnn. TBS mother teresa has shared 'end of the tunnel' party visions. Mel Wasserman visits him at night and preaches celebration gospel to him. Apparently we all drink Jim Jones beverages, give eachother reach arounds and praise the modern day saviour, outsourced parenting. I'm sure TBS protocol for reacharounds is to walk away half way through.
Before invitations are doled out you might want to do some party planning. In this case:
1. Get the facts straight. Belief is for suicide bombers not kids from broken homes. Collect the facts and present them.
2. Get the industry to own up to it's corrupt foundations, 25+ year track record of cult practices. Get lon woodbury to print and acknowledge the truth.
3. If you care so much, launch a 'get your shit together' camp for unfit partents. Gee - that might help, not subjecting kids to the entire shitstorm.
4. Make the industry wipe it's own ass. They've created a leigon of disgruntled graduates. When you throw a party you have to clean up afterwards. Can anyone say Vietnam vets being spit on when coming home?
Have fun at the pookey party. I'm sure Lon gives a hell of handi.

I hear ya, what I usually do, if the post is extremely long, is give a brief synopses, hilight areas of interest and then provide a link so the reader can choose to read the whole report if they choose to. No need to post a novel.

--- Quote from: ""psy"" ---Well. Here are the facts: George was already suicidal. He was clinically diagnosed as bipolar. How do I know this, as well as his name? Jayne Longnecker told me when I interviewed her back in Nov of 06 (so much for patient confidentiality. or student confidentiality, or whatever...)
Yup. He was clearly a danger to himself and he wanted to get help. He didn't. Instead, he was yelled at, berated, and browbeaten until he could no longer stand it and killed himself (according to multiple eye witness accounts). He should have gotten legitimate therapy, he should have felt accepted and loved. He didn't. Benchmark advertised to be able to help him and it was criminally irresponsible (IMO) for them to accept him in the condition he was already in. They told parents I have interviewed that they had qualified counselors on staff and 24 hour supervision (yeah, I got video tape) and all that jazz. They told my parents the same. They lied.

Psy,
I'm not a substitute for TheWho, or whatever you choose to call him. (God forbid, I'm very busy and have a family to support.) Consider me rather your average open-minded jury member.
First, you impress me as a sympathetic and articulate young man. I don't get the impression that you're an egotistical two-bit con artist playing the saint. On the contrary, I trust that your intentions are honorable and good.
Here's my gut feeling given the information in your post. If you had told me that George was the picture of mental fitness before going to Benchmark I would say, Hmmm, Benchmark might really be responsible for his suicide. But you candidly acknowledge that George was suicidal when he went to Benchmark. Now, as a jury member, I believe you've already lost your case. Given the bipolar disorder, the suicidal tendencies, and possibly even the suicide attempts, you would find it difficult to prove that Benchmark caused him to commit suicide. At most, I'd say, you could argue that it failed to prevent a suicide, that it's not a good place to send such a kid.
And having been through a program myself I know first hand that Benchmark may have factored into George's suicide. But I don't think you can convincingly claim that Benchmark, and Benchmark alone, caused George to commit suicide.
