Another death last week at an Aspen program
Ursus:
--- Quote from: "Guest" ---SageWalk's founder and previous owner says that Aspen has been neglegent and reckless with the program since they took it over. He states safety controls and proper personnel were cut.
ASPEN kills children.

How convenient, and how easy it is for him to say that now, eh? Or it could be that he just was lucky back then...
That blog entry containing material from an interview with SageWalk founder Brett Merle was also posted in another thread, namely, Mind Control as Therapy in Programs. There's a fair amount of material pertaining specifically to Brett Merle following that post.
I'd especially like to know just how SAFE it is, psychologically speaking, for folks to have someone from a program background practicing neuro-linguistic programming on them, and who may or may not even be certified, hmm?

Brett Merle runs a teen escort business and used to be in a program. Not a good guy at all. He has the look of a sheep killing dog. Merle's background is all program, from his RTC to the Army. He sounds like a mercenary wannabe reduced to kidnapping kids.

Brett Merle
Brett Merle has a fairly unique perspective in transporting, transitioning and interventions. He was transported to a wilderness program at the age of 16. He went on to become a United States Army Airborne Ranger, earning a bronze star and purple heart while in combat in 1989. After his term of service, brett went to work for wilderness programs, residential programs, crisis residential, culminating in him founding his own wilderness program in 1997. Although he sold his wilderness program in 2002, it is still in operation today. Brett has been in the youth help industry and been transporting kids since 1994. He holds a first degree black belt in kenpo juijitsu, is a PCS (positive control systems) non violent verbal/ physical intervention instructor, has his current cpr/ first aid card and is registered with the California trustline to legally be able to transport to/ from/ within the state of California.

I didnt find where the article talked about Sagewalk at all. It never uses the words reckless or neglegent. Did someone provide the wrong link? I would like to read about what Sagewalks founder said.
Troll Control:
yeah, it's there. he said aspen removed all of the safety controls and hired people with no life-saving skills or therapy qualifications and ruined the nice business he built. go back and read it again.

I think as a minimum we can say the program owners have gained a bit of credibility here on fornits, at least some of them. I remember back a few years when I posted here that no one would believe what program staff or owners had to say about their programs successes, even if they provided testimony. So this is a big step.
