Mount Bachelor Academy Shut Down

--- Quote from: "joethebadass" ---What I posted was a letter that was sent to all parents of MBA students by the Oregon DHS. It was obtained by another survivor whose parent got it off of the MBA parent listserv. The parents-only forum isn't open to the public. Furthermore, I've personally spoken with three MBA staffers who have confirmed that this is true. It's official. Their license has been suspended, but not revoked. They still have a chance to appeal the "nine substantiated cases of child abuse and neglect" in ninety days at a hearing, but I doubt they will be successful.

Ahhh, first-time-to-the-internet genuine official-source content on Fornits. Thanks, Joe. Rare that we get that around here. Next time anyone gets stuff like this, please post the source with the content, aight? Paranoia and trolling levels around here are high enough.

Is this hearing open to the public? Who will be allowed to speak? Will it be recorded on video? Posting Aspen getting its ass spanked by OR DHS on Youtube will be a huge morale boost.

I have to say that it is quite healing to attend one of these and confront your boogeymen. I've done it numerous times regarding Straight and Miller Newton (most recently Oct. 26th) and it is one of THE MOST empowering things I've ever done. Out in the real world their power ceases to be.

--- Quote ---The substantiated incidents meet Oregon's legal definition of child abuse because they were inconsistent with recommended and appropriate treatment or care, used derogatory names/phrases, profanity, ridicule, harassment, coercion, and/or intimidation that was likely to endanger the child's health or welfare. In addition, the activities subjected children to a substantial risk of harm to their health or welfare, and the adults failed to supervise or intervene when the child needed assistance or care, in an activity that was likely to endanger their health or welfare.
An expert in the field of child and adolescent psychiatry consulted by DHS as part of the investigation concluded: "In general, coercive, degrading and humiliating treatment is harmful to young people, especially those with psychological vulnerabilities. Young people (male and female) who have been victims of abuse often hold themselves responsible for the abuse, and develop sexualized behavior for reasons they often don't understand. To confront them and humiliate them about these behaviors in an effort to force them to see themselves more clearly and consequently change their behavior can be very destructive. It has the risk of reinforcing self-blame and self-loathing attitudes already present in traumatized individuals. It is essentially retraumatizing."
