Academy at Sisters
Pile of Dead Kids:
--- Quote from: "Vic Zealot" ---Instead they see the individual abuses that happen and attack leaves, while ignoring the big nasty gnarled tree that allows those leaves to grow.

Reminds me a whole lot of the whole "well we didn't see anything wrong with THIS program" business. This is completely insane. It's a whole lot like "well THIS wild tiger didn't eat anybody, so we should assume it's safe to be around". Um, what? Whatever happened to pattern recognition? Charles Darwin's ghost must have a raging hard-on by now.
Troll Control:
--- Quote from: "Ursus" ---Parent organization of Academy at Sisters is J Bar J Youth Services. They run four programs; the more coercive ones are first and last:
* Academy at Sisters
provides a personalized emotional growth treatment program for troubled female adolescents.
* Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Oregon
empowering youth through one-to-one mentorships.
* Cascade Youth & Family Center
offering outpatient crisis intervention and support services for troubled youth and their families.
* J Bar J Boys Ranch
serving adjudicated adolescent males in a structured residential program.

Let me just make an unequivocal, blanket statement here: Any "program" or "academy" that purports to offer "emotional growth treatment" is, on it's face, bogus.
This quite obviously a duck farm packed full to the gills with quacks.
It is precdisely these self-proclaimed EG programs that end up killing/maiming/abusing the most kids. Another NATSAP program, Mount Bachelor Academy, an Aspen Education kiddie prison, was forcibly shut down via license revocation by the State of Oregon after investigators concluded that 100% of the kids there were abused simply because the EG program itself is, by definition, abusive. 100% of the kids were abused. One was raped and MBA didn't even report it, which is a serious crime.

Not that you folks needed to hear this, I just wanted to say thanks...... DJ, Pile, Ursus, Paul, Nihilanthic, Morgan and juliechan for helping this young girl. I was taught something today.
I have a story I want to share with you folks. I am in NYC now for the holiday, at 6:30am I got a phone call from a friend in Georgia, she told me that a young man that I have known since he was 7 (10 yrs. ago) had OD last night and died. This coming off his mother dying 3 months ago from the same thing. Mother overdosed on alcohol a Valium and the son heroin. I asked where his father was, my friend starting sobbing, she said,"he is in Florida lying on a beach with his new girlfriend".
I wanted to share this because this is what we are up against with a large percentage of parents, they don't give a fuck one way or another, either they don't care to get the right help for their child in need or if they do find something (anything) it is just to get the problem out of their hair.
I will not belabor on with this story, it just makes me sick.
I know some of you think I want to promote programs, I am really not interested in that one way or another. I am more interested in helping Megan stay alive long enough to reach "18"yrs so that she can get away from the parents trying to kill her with their irresponsible actions.
I do not have the right now, to post this young mans name he is/was 17yrs. old. May his father rot in hell.

Sorry to hear this sad story, Danny. I hope those surviving this boy and his mother get through the nightmare.
And it is true that these kids need an advocate for the reasons you stated. Someone has to stand up for them lest they be fed, without resistance, into The Machine. If anyone thinks their chances of avoiding abuse is bad on the streets, it's near nil at these kiddie jails.
Not germane to your point at all...but Morgan is the kid we're working for.

No it may not be directly germane (my story) but it comes close enough. I can only hope Megan's father listens to the feedback so he makes a responsible decision for his daughter. That he reads and asks the tuff questions and demands answers before he lets his child be taken away.
