what was russ decker's role in cedu, exactly?

[Che Gookin]

The criminal complaint or court papers ought to be public record. Has anyone found them?

[dishdutyfugitive]

I'm not 100% certain but it was something along the lines of him copping out in a propheet to beating some to death or inches from death. He never got caught for it.

Cedu never told the authorities about this crime.

This raises 2 important points.

Cedu was either

1. So blinded by their kool aid they felt they were above the law.
2. Or they didn't really give a fuck about kids' problems and probably thought the hardcore confessions were a bunch of jabberwocky they didn't need to pay attention to.

Either way it speaks volumes about cedu's warped methodology/philosopy.

So Russ Decker was a student? Could someone provide me with some info about him? When was he as CEDU, etc.

Yes.

I'm the one that posted the gang rape and homeless burning stories about Russ Decker. Allow me to re-confirm that I personally heard both of these stories come from Russ's mouth in Raps while I was at Cedu-RS (1991-1992). I don't know if the stories are true or not (I did not witness the events), I only know what Russ told us.

I left before Russ Decker arrived at Cedu.  But Serb, who came after me, would not prevaricate. Serb was very disgusted by the disclosures, shady pasts, and lack of therapeutic boundaries displayed by CEDU employees.

For me and others, it was very difficult to feel safe as a student, whether you are listening to staff disclose very specific masturbation practices, deviant sexual acts, or criminal acts. Many of us have survived trauma, and there was no way to feel safe in this environment.  (Aside from CEDU's practices of humiliation and verbal abuse.)

 So, Russ was a "student" who became staff?

[dishdutyfugitive]

Affirmative.

Affirmative.

Alright, that's just sad. Just really sad. The guy...I mean...he's a victim as much as a predator. Who knows maybe his parents refused to take him home after he was 18...What choice do you have at that point..No real choice. :heartbreak:

It raises thorny and grave issues regarding autonomy.

Who's responsible for what and for how long?

How much is enough?

Does intent supercede consent?

When does benign become detrimental?

Why does detriment taste so sweet when it's baked into a salvation pie?

My sentiment is that under the circumstances, he is not "responsible" for his actions. Does that make his actions less reprehensible? No. If I Sovereign and I were to arraign the for- profit CEDU Torture Chamber association, he would not be a prime target.

What’s interesting is that witnesses that saw what was done to him while he was a detainee at CEDU would work for his defense, while detainees who witnessed him in action when he was a …well, you can’t really call him “staff”…a trans-detainee—disciple…. would be of use to the prosecution.

No, I do not think the RMA Decker is same as Cedu staffer. CEDU staffer was 24 when in 90/91.  

But whatever. I don't think t matters if he was a student. I'm sorry, his actions pre staff were reprehensible, and it is disgusting students were under the thumb of this person.  To me, CEDU was a great place for  sociopaths to run amok.  A few horrific students became staff - but there was something wrong with them to  devolve to that level.  They got some sick kick coming into a poistion of power and terrorizing students.
