I feel I have to post in case there are some parents considering the Academy at Sisters (Bend, Oregon) as an alternative to MBA. My ex-husband put my daughter at the Academy at Sisters and while I am fairly certain they did not do the lap dancing and other forms of sexual role playing, they did engage in other forms of abuse mentioned at MBA. For instance, they will take away school credits and/or remove the student from the public school some of the students get to attend (Bend High School). In my daughters case this was done one week before finals because she made negative comments about the Academy to her father who was fully and completely brainwashed. This frequently happens before a girl is to graduate either from the program or high school in order to keep them longer. They also will force students to be isolated - either in solitary confinement or by not permitting them to interact with the other girls around them. For more than a month my daughter was not allowed to talk to the other girls or eat with them at mealtimes. The Academy even went so far as to tell the other Academy girls who attended Bend High School with my daughter that they had to ignore her and not acknowledge her while she was at school. Why a public high school puts up with shunning is beyond me but it is done frequently. On occasions they ask the girls to disclose embarrassing things about themselves to the group. Privacy and respect are nonexistent. They also have "feedback," that common form of abuse where they can only say "thank you" as all the other girls and staff tell you anything and everything negative about you they can come up with. Since the only way a girl can move up levels and get privledges is by snitching on the other students they will make up complete lies if they have to. The point of all this is that I am sure parents of Mt. Bachelor students are probably looking at alternatives for their kids who have been messed up by their experiences at MBA and can't return home. The Academy at Sisters is not the answer. I would imagine most programs are probably equally as abusive so all I can suggest is that you get a good therapist and maybe find a family member or friend the kid can live with for awhile. They get out of these programs very angry and need a lot of time, space and support to get acclimated to the real world. I was not prepared for the anger I saw when my daughter ran away a couple of weeks before her 18th birthday and was disowned by her father for a period of time. It has taken a couple of years to get to the point where she we no longer has nightmares about the place and she has been able to put it behind her.Academy at Sisters abuse

Do you have a link to the original? I wasnt able to find this post in the database. Thanks Academy at sisters

Troll Control:
No, thanks. There's nothing I'd like to discuss with you. My comments have nothing to do with parenting, they simpIy reflect your views on children and programs. I just want Morgan's folks to know where you're coming from, because you sure as hell will just be blowing smoke up their asses, quoting phony statistics and falsifying your own "success" story. It shouldn't bother you that I just post quotes of what you said. If it does, maybe you shouldn't have said it, but you did.
When you say children have no rights, it dovetails with your statements that you don't believe kids should have access to an abuse hotline independent of the facility to report any abuses (remember, you said they shouldn't have one because "the abuse hotline operator might talk dirty to the kids"). You stated they should be forced to report to their very own abusers, the program staff, which, of course, is pure lunacy. This is just one of many of your views I will illustrate as I see fit by supplying Morgan's parents with your prior statements.
Let's be real for a moment: You're not what you claim to be, and we here all know it, but they might need some help to figure it out. As I have explained before, if your comments and recruitment efforts lead to even one kid being abused at the hands of programs you promote here, it will be a very, very sad day, as it's completely preventable if people know what your true reason for being here is, a financial interest in the TBS industry, where you have claimed "the real money is."
So let's not play coy, shall we?

@Whooter: that post was originally posted in one of the Mount Bachelor Academy threads by "Academy at Sisters abuse," shortly after MBA was effectively shut down, in case you are wondering re. context...
