Alex Asch's Story

Froderik:
$5500 a month? Shit, My family of 4 lives on about HALF that amount...I don't get it. Why pay that much $ out per month for someone to "live?"

FaceKhan:
Thats what these programs charge. Figure that at most it costs maybe 1k a month for the kids room and maybe another 500 for food maximum. That leaves 3500 some of which goes to insurance and most of it probably just ends up in the guys pocket.

Antigen:
No, the room would be a whole lot cheaper than that. My whole 3 bdrm house only costs a couple hundred a month. I'm sure they own their buildings fee and clear, so now we're talking property taxes an utilities. The labour is provided by clients and low pay graduate staff.

Yes, just a few miles of distance and the freedom of association goes a long, long way toward helping someone snap out of it. If he does, of course, he'll be considered a failure and probably cut off from family support. From my point of view, the sooner the better! I think I had a much easier time of it, over all, than ppl who spent 20 years being the family scapegoat.

FaceKhan:
Well in terms of the cost of the room and stuff, currently the program has 12 kids and they expecting to double in size. They just moved to a very large house. And Boulder is an expensive area to live from what I have heard from a lot of people.

Still a lot of potential profit for a guy who has very few qualifications and apparently did at one time work for CEDU but supposedly quit because of what goes on there.

Fighting and escape WORK! I've had over a dozen friends that have been there, done that. When I was 19, I met a friend also named Alex(no relation to Alex Ashe) who was also locked up by his parents, in his case for being bi, as I am. He escaped by destroying the electrical system in the hospital, only to have to turn back as he had no wilderness skills(far rural location). Fortunately, the Enemy had had enough, and they ordered his parents to come get him. His father simply abandoned him on the interestate, and he's been on his own ever since9now for another 19 years!)

   In the following years I met over a dozen more Gay youth who'd been through this, and every one of them either escaped or got out of it through pre-emptive resistance.

  In an escape, if you have to kill somebody, it's better than staying in psych, but you will then have to get out of teh country if you are in the US. If you are NOT in teh US, getting back, or to Mexico may be enough if you abandon your old identity forever.

  If you do NOT inflict death or a lifelong disability, you will be officially home free aftert age 21 or 22 and unofficially home free, at least out-of-state, after age 18. There is a lot of questionable legality about these places, so they are unlikely to resort to teh courts after, say, having a wall knocked out with a truck from the outside so you can get out. Of course, if you've concluded getting out alive is impossible, all restrictions go out the window.

  Similarily, if your parents send "teen escort" thugs armed with guns after you and you treat them as armed kidnappers, you will certainly get away with it if you allow them to retreat. In the face of armed opposition,weill simply back off and in at least one case of which I am aware surrendered their (illegal) handguns to better armed(2 w/shotguns) anarchists. Nobody was ever prosecuted in that incident, and the woman involved never ended up in a psych ward. I guess a shotgun speaks loudly about determination in that case.

  I never thought of that idea of screaming"bomb" at the airport, though. The ultimate at an airport might be this: Tell the screeners that your escorts are Al Quaeda, your parents love Bin Laden, and you are being taken against your will to a training camp.Make up a plot.  Not only will they not let you on the plane, but the escorts AND your parents will likely rot in jail until it is sorted out, which with Asscrotch and Bu$h could take over a year! This is making one of your enemies(homeland security) fight another one(the mental hospitals).
