Another death last week at an Aspen program
Whooter:
They have killed children before. Another Aspen facility in Texas called LoneStar was shut down right after they killed a kid there too. It seems like everywhere Aspen operates, kids are being killed. They should shut down Aspen as a whole. Their track record is abysmal and they even admitted in court recently while being sued over not providing treatment as they promised that they don't, never did and never will provide any treatment and that the statement was just "advertising." Sheesh, they even admitted to being involved in the 911 attacks. There is just no reason to hire them if they already admit under oath that they're not providing any treatment services. How dumb can parents be to even think about using Aspen? :suicide: :poison:

That's exactly right, guest. And you know what? No amount of trolling this thread will change those facts, but this thread will stay at the top. And when people come here, they read threads from the beginning, so trolling it is insuring more people read the facts and news articles right in the front of the thread. The fact that Aspen abuses and kills children is in cold print, right up front, with links to the news stories confirming the facts reported in this guest's post.

SageWalk sends students home amid probe (9/15)

State DHS, Lake County investigating teen's death on first hike; offices searched
From KTVZ.COM news sources
A Redmond-based wilderness school said Tuesday it has agreed to suspend operations amid state and Lake County investigations into the death of a 16-year-old Portland boy on his first hike with the school, in a remote area east of Bend late last month.
Word of the halt to operations came one day after Lake County sheriff's deputies traveled from Lakeview and executed a search warrant at the Redmond office of SageWalk Wilderness School, as part of its continuing investigation into the death of Sergey Blashchishen.
The school issued a statement Tuesday indicating it had learned the Oregon Department of Human Services' Office of Investigations and Training is looking into the Aug. 28 death about 60 miles east of Bend.
Results of an autopsy conducted by the Lake County medical examiner have not been released, so it's not known yet if a cause of death has been determined. The teen's mother said she was told her son vomited, collapsed and died, despite efforts to revive him.
Michael Bednarz, executive director of the school, declined to comment on-camera Tuesday to NewsChannel 21, but provided the following written statement:
A Statement from SageWalk
SageWalk Wilderness School has received notice of an investigation by the Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS) Office of Investigations and Training due to the recent death of one of our students that occurred on August 28. DHS has requested that we remove all students from SageWalk until the investigation is complete, and we are cooperating with this request.
In addition, local law enforcement is conducting an investigation and has executed a search warrant. We have not seen the affidavit for the search warrant and are therefore not in a position to discuss any factual matters or further details.
We firmly believe there to be no basis for these actions. At this time, the exact details surrounding the student's death are still being determined and autopsy results are not yet available.
SageWalk considers student safety our number one priority and is confident in a positive resolution to this investigation. Over the course of our 12 year history, our program has adhered to the highest standards of care and we currently meet or exceed all industry and state standards. We were the first wilderness program to be individually accredited by the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools, and we are licensed by the State of Oregon to work with students who are experiencing issues with substance abuse and are also licensed by the State of Oregon as both an Outdoor Youth Program and Private School.
Due to the limited information available, this is all we are able to communicate at this time.

Man, I'm glad the authorities are finally starting to shut down Aspen programs. There have been a lot of kids dying in Aspen facilities recently and lots and lots of documented, proven abuse.
wild thing:
We firmly believe there to be no basis for these actions.
A student died, not the first, in their care and there is no basis for action? How bloody cold hearted and ignorant is that?
Over the course of our 12 year history, our program has adhered to the highest standards of care and we currently meet or exceed all industry and state standards.
The industry standards? What a joke, "the industry" makes billions from the pain and suffering of children and families. They are ghouls without standards themselves, except making the bucks, how can they possibly set standards?
We were the first wilderness program to be individually accredited by the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools, and we are licensed by the State of Oregon to work with students who are experiencing issues with substance abuse and are also licensed by the State of Oregon as both an Outdoor Youth Program and Private School.
It takes nothing, but filling out a form to receive accredidation from the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools, hence many states do not recognize these wilderness programs and they cannot receive funding from educational funds states and districts set aside for bonafide "non-public schools." There is no actual education in these programs and yet NAAS will certify them for a price. As far as a licensed private school, again, it is a simple form to be completed and mailed into the state.
Close the whole industry down!
