Monarch School ATTENTION

(1/7) > >>

Anonymous:
I believe that more attention needs to be brought to the Monarch School. I would like to bring attention to the abuses kids have suffered at Monarch School. I remember Timothy Earle grabbing me on the shoulder before graduating and looking at me and saying "Remember whatever you do, NEVER mention what happens in the insights or group workshops. Unless talking to someone who has completed the program.Otherwise you will be out of agreement." Well it took me a good tormented year before talking about Monarch School with friends and family. And it was very difficult at first. But after talking to therapists and close friends I felt more comfortable talking about my experiences there. I would like to open this forum for people to expose what happened at the Monarch school.

One of my worst experiences at the Monarch School was when Curtis Foster pushed my head to my knees with one hand while pushing up into the center of my stomach with the other hand. Yelling at me with all his might telling me to "let it all out." "I know its in there YOU TELL YOURSELF YOUR MESSED UP. YOU TELL YOURSELF YOUR WORTHLESS. YOU TELL YOURSELF YOU DONT DESERVE TO LIVE!" then he would whisper very softly "It's ok I know its in there just yell, just give it a voice, GIVE YOUR LITTLE KID A VOICE!"He constantly applied pressure to my body until I gave in and began to yell. I remember feeling the physical pain for a couple of days.
Every time I saw Curtis he would apply pressure and pinch my shoulder. Just so I would know who the boss was.

I would also constantly witness Sarah Loseman (sp?) touching "smushing" with other students in a very inappropriate way. Kids as young as 15. She would have them wrapped up so her breast were touching the student. Or I would notice her head lying in the groan area of a young male without a pillow (which was suppose to be required while "smushing" at the Monarch School).

I do not know what it is. These brainwash group therapy and insights seem to be so against being promiscuous. However, weird sexual tensions seem to constantly occur between staff and student. It always really creep me out.
I could go on for awhile about my experience but I am really curious to hear other peoples. Please post.

Oscar:
I have added this thread to our datasheet over Monarch School.

However when I look at the datasheet, I believe that it could need some expansion.

What about info about living conditions, the so-called schooling, possible level system, description of the types the punishments used by the program?`

You can put it in this thread and then I will add the text to the datasheet with references here.

I understand WHY this is upsetting. Most Graduates do NOT remember or want to remember the freakishness and pressure in having achieve emotional catharsis in front of peers and staff- on demand.  The lengths that the staff will go to make their point is clear: the ends justify the means.
Ironically, Dan Earle, Tim's father used to give me a pinch or a small kick whenever he saw me, too. While I think he's creepy, I never disliked him for any reason, until I found out more later about his pervy actions in Idaho.

Here's his brief bio from Monarch School's website:

-------------- • -------------- • --------------

Curtis Foster - Life Skills Manager



Curtis earned his bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Central State University in Edmond, Oklahoma. By the time he completed his degree he had already worked nine years in the mental health field. He started working with teenagers in 1981 at a Psychiatric hospital in Oklahoma City and from there moved into residential treatment at a small RTC in OKC 2 years later. He remained with this program for 14 years in various capacities ranging from Team Leader to Center Supervisor to ROPES Course Manager. In this last role he learned a great deal about experiential education and brought that knowledge with him to the Inland Northwest in 1997.

Curtis moved to North Idaho in 1997 and began a new chapter of his life working in therapeutic boarding schools. Working for various schools Curtis continued to expand his education and knowledge base before coming to Monarch in October of 2004 where he was a Peer Leader for two groups before becoming a Life Skills Manager this year.

Curtis brings years of experience as well as an enthusiasm for working with young people. He loves the outdoors and hard work. A devoted husband and father of three teens of his own, Curtis is happiest surrounded by youth.
