--- Quote ---7. MBA violated OAR 413-215-0076(3) regarding behavior management in that MBA required students to engage in an "emotional growth" curriculum included, but was not limited to, the Lifesteps program that was punitive, humiliating, degrading and traumatizing. The "emotional growth" curriculum included, but was not limited to, sexualized role play in front of staff and peers, requiring students to say derogatory phrases about themselves in front of staff and peers, requiring students to reenact past physical abuse in front of staff and peers, permitting staff to engage in the usage of derogatory names, phrases and ridicule of students, and deprivation of sleep.

Lifesteps are a trademark of the Aspen Education Group. They were developed by Linda Houghton in association with Alex Bitz and a group of former CEDU staff at the founding of Mount Bachelor Academy, a first generation CEDU clone. Lifesteps incorporate the propheet system of CEDU into a slightly modified model built around basically the same ideas. "Peer groups" of eight to fifteen children go through all of the Lifesteps together. Each Lifestep has both staff and student "facilitators," a term that is used because they refuse to call the process "therapy" because there are usually no licensed therapists or psychologists present. If a Lifestep participant fails to live up to the facilitator's expectations of them during the Lifestep, then it is likely that he or she will be "dropped" into a lower peer group. They are all numbered according to the "graduation date" of the children, or the day that they are allowed to go home. Thus, being "dropped" into a higher numbered peer group meant that a child would usually be forced to spend a longer amount of time at the facility. There are six life-steps used at Mount Bachelor Academy.

--- Quote from: "Whooter" ---I agree with a lot of what you say, DJ. But they concluded that there were only 9 substantiated cases of abuse. There were many "findings" but the findings have not been substantiated as of yet except 9 of them. I am sure the number will rise once they decipher which they can substantiate and which of the findings they cannot.
But at this point only 9 are substantiated which is about 10%, not 100%.

That is not quite how the Department of Human Services in the state of Oregon saw it.
From the Complaint and Order to Correct Conditions, color emphasis added:
In October 2009, the Office of Investigations and Training (OIT) completed its investigation and determined that eight allegations of abuse involving five individual students were substantiated against the agency, Mt. Bachelor Academy. The report indicates that the abuse allegations are "exemplars" in that these five clients' experience is not unique and is "substantially consistent" with the experience of all children enrolled in the program. The report further substantiated an allegation of abuse against the Executive Director. The Executive Director either knew of the abusive practices of the agency, or she should have known what was happening under her authority.[/list]
From the above transcribed Order of Emergency License Suspension:
Ultimate Findings of Fact: DHS finds that due to MBA's abuse and neglect of students and violations of the licensing rules listed above, MBA poses a serious danger to public health or safety should MBA be permitted to continue operating as a therapeutic boarding school for children. DHS finds that a condition exists that immediately endangers the health or safety of the children at MBA should MBA be permitted to continue providing therapeutic, educational and residential services to children.[/list]

Pretty much all that needs to be said is in this quote. They found that the "exemplars" experience is "not unique and is substantially consistent" with what "ALL CHILDREN ENROLLED IN THE PROGRAM" were/are exposed to. Since the "exemplars" experience was found to be abusive, and that said experience is substantially consistent with what ALL the rest of the kids there go thru........all the kids there were abused by virtue of simply being exposed to the program's methodology. Why is this so difficult to grasp?

Seems like we are all reading the same thing and are in agreement. Now the next step is if they end up substantiating all the findings (above) then we can say 100% of the kids were abused instead of just the 9 that are substantiated so far. This seems to be the point everyone wants to get to I think.

No, the point is that they found that the very methods used were abusive. Therefore, since they also found that all kids were exposed to these methods, we can conclude (those of us with critical thinking skills) that all kids that were abused via those methods.
