You're kidding, right?
CEDU is no less an obscure duck farm than Bergen-Belsen, and no less a worthy subject of civic investigation.
Reading up on Rachael…seems she works PR for a night club/ may / may not have had sex with Tiger Woods. Wouldnt think she’s a ‘celebrity’ enough to attract attention. (Still, anyone interested in reaching out to her for help though, go for it. Though it seems, she drank the koolaid and became something of a wash out?)
Jackie Danforth (sp.?) outing Mommy Dearest (Barbara Walters) for butchering her with a prison- cult would be something.
In the summer of 1984, Jackie ran away from home and for a month Walters did not know
where her 15-year-old daughter was. When Jackie was found Walters made the difficult
decision to send her daughter to an alternative school for troubled teens in Idaho.
Danforth stayed in the program for three years and credits the program with saving her
life.
Today, Danforth has come full circle. After meeting and marrying wilderness guide Mark
Danforth, she opened a camp in northern Maine called "New Horizons." At a recent visit
to the camp she told Pauley she feels her own experiences help her get through to
teenage girls at risk. "These girls obviously are doing the same things that I did. So
when some of the girls act out, try to run, and things like that, which is very
normal, typical, I have a better understanding of what my Mom went through."
These days, Danforth's life is focussed on other people's daughters, troubled
teenagers like she used to be, but she has made the decision not to have children of
her own. As for Walters, "She wants grandchildren bad," Danforth tells Pauley. "She
loves kids. My mom is the most nurturing person in the world."
