An American Gulag

velvet2000:
Has anyone else here read Alexia Parks's An Amerian Gulag? Or have you been to teenliberty.org? If you have then you know the story, if not Alexia wrote the book and created the site after a young relative of hers was "escorted" to a few schools including Bear Mountain Academy (Yeah, the one where three boys beat a newcomer to death and left his body outside so that they could get police into the school in hopes of getting free'er), Loving Hearts and Safe Harbour.

Her sister (the mother of he "escorted" teen) has been posting negative reviews at Amazon.com saying that Alexia's story is a fantasy. She also argues that children are not "innocent" as stated in Gulag, and that Columbine should prove that! That's right, two kids murder so all of them are evil! What does that make us adults?

Having read the book it sounds 100% truthful to me, and I've read up on those schools elsewhere. If you would like to help out go to Amazon.com and post a review or something about alexia's cause. You can also "rate" whether or not other people's reviews were helpful, which can push their posts up or down on the readers list.

My internet got cut off and I have been using the connection at my moms house when I can. I hate being seperated from the collective :smile:

I read the book, it was interesting and very sad. It is a bit light on info on the gulag system as a whole and it concentrates on Alexia's particular experience trying to find her neice.

I wonder if there is a book out there or being written that truly documents the dangerous scourge of speciality program cults?

In regards to Alexia's Sister, the news reports about Bear Mountain alone would lead any reasonable person to believe Alexia's story over her sister's brainwashed replies. If you are going to waste your time responding to her reviews then I suggest post the links to the bear mountain stories that are available online.

Wouldn't ya like to work on the book, too?  
The race for the book deal is on.  All kidding aside, there are numerous books in the works and proposals are being shopped to publishing companies daily.
