I've mostly received positive feedback for this website, which I felt prompted to start after sitting through a disgusting deposition involving a case between West Ridge Academy and a youth that was repeatedly physically and sexually abused while there. SO, I'm curious to hear what Fornits thinks about the site. I envisioned it to be inclusive of all sorts of law firms, the firms that tried to sue the mother for speaking out about WWASPS, the Mount Bachelor Academy lawyers, the Catholic priest abuse lawyers, but if the collective "survivor" community feels like this is a net-negative effect on our efforts to stop abuse in residential treatment, I'll gladly let myself be convinced to take it down. I'm all ears, folks.

Well, it's a two edged sword. On the one hand it tells us who the bad guys are, but it also lets others know which lawyers have experience defending these programs. I think most lawyers are mercenary in that they'll represent whoever pays them, so it could be that a survivor wishing to sue a program might be well served by one of theses guys. If these lawyers were decent, upright, moral citizens then shaming them in this fashion might have an effect, but these are lawyers. I doubt they even have a conscience. So I don't think your site will shame them into doing the right thing.

I don't really have a recommendation for you. What I'd really like to see is a list of lawyers who have represented survivors against abusive programs.

They'll probably send meaningless demand letters, but there's no case and they're probably smart enough to keep this out of a courtroom. This isn't libel or slander, as he isn't accusing them of doing anything they aren't actually doing. Their clients may be incensed about being called pedophiles, but unfortunately they are pedophiles...
