--- Quote from: "karate man" ---i'm not going to name any names because this woman i spoke with is interested in working with me on contacting former clients of this
place and also former staff to coroberate my concerns.

This is supposedly the same woman who told you your programs staff regularly visits Synanon. How could she possibly be so ill informed (making ridiculous claims no less) yet, still be useful?
--- Quote from: "karate man" ---because this place is still running and there are people out there who share my concerns about the program, i am not going to say, "the place is
run by (blank) and staff include (blank blank blank) and they get their funding from (blank) and these fuckers need to be shut down and thrown
in jail as early as tommorow for being serial child abusers.

Why not? You’ve said as much about them without really saying much about them.
--- Quote from: "karate man" ---the real purpose of my post was to describe the program and see if the response i got confirmed that this program is 'synanonish'. i'm still gathering
information and contacting former staff and clients to see if they would be willing to share what they know about the place and if they share the same
concerns with me bring their concerns to authorities who will be interested in protecting teenagers from this sort of treatment.

Okay.
Proving a program Synanon-ish doesn’t make the harms inflicted by a particular program any more valid than others. There are programs with no known links to Synanon that have done some serious damage to people.

as for travelling back in time to synanon, that is what she told me - that the directors are affiliated with synanon and they go down to california twice a
year to visit people in synanon. thats what she said. [/quote]Was it your brother the lawyer “with experience in cases involving TBS in Canada” who put you in touch with this unnamed “official”?
--- Quote from: "karate man" ---she also said that pretty much all of the treatment centers in british columbia use the synanon model
to some degree, but this specific place uses the most extreme form.

What would that be exactly?
--- Quote from: "karate man" ---what i meant by research was i used my own experience in the organization, wrote it all down in an essay, and checked the treatment methods against other
programs that people on this board and others have gone through to see where this place fits. so their arent any links, and my essay is private except for the
erxcerpt that i added here about the theraputic community.

Why are specifics of your experiences private, yet you have asked repeatedly for people from other programs to contact you with theirs?
Why haven’t you answered the questions involving specifics about details asked on your other threads?
Will you, right now? Or would that require more research time?

--- Quote from: "wdtony" ---Hey karate man,
where did you sleep at night while in the Last Door program? Was it in a host home/recovery home or did you get to go home to your own home at night? Did you sleep at the actual program building?

How much more research time will you need to answer this one?
