And just so you know where Dupont's loyalties lied, check out this excerpt from his Testimony in Fager's case against straight....Q) is Fager's attorney and A) is Robert Dupont.
1 Q. If the person was placed in the closet, as I
2 talked before, and had been confronted and had someone
3 yell and scream at him in a volume that this jury has
4 heard for up to an hour for 40 days in a row and spit
5 in his face and not let him wash it off before he went
6 to bed, would that be appropriate confrontation?
7 A. Well, it might be.
8 Q. Under what circumstances would that be
9 appropriate, doctor?
10 A. Well, I think that the issue would be what
11 the person's responsiveness to the program is.
12 Q. How about if he wasn't making -- oh, it
13 would be okay to spit on him?
14 A. I don't know spit on him. I don't think
15 there was any -- at least in my understanding of the
16 deposition there was no claim that he was being spit
17 on. In fact, he went to some extent to say no, he
18 wasn't being spit on. If I understand --
19 Q. Who said this?
20 A. William Fager, in the deposition.
21 Q. So you have reviewed all the records?
22 A. No, just that deposition.

1 Q. You were saying that this 24-hour -- I
2 don't know what word to use -- where they were
3 involved or in contact with the upper phaser for 24
4 hours a day was good?
5 A. Yes.
6 Q. That includes bathing with them in the same
7 room, requiring that they take a bath and they
8 required that they have their hands up on the towel or
9 the shower curtain rod?
10 A. Uh-huh.
11 Q. That they go to the bathroom at the same
12 time while someone else is present? They sleep with
13 them?
14 A. Uh-huh.
15 Q. All of that is appropriate treatment?
16 A. Yes, so they don't run away.

Excerpts from the idiots that ran the drug war in this country in the 1970s and 80s. These people, the sum total of them all, created an environment where it was "appropriate" for 14 year old kids to be tortured in thought reform camps like the Seed and then the offspin programs...Life, straight, Kids...Pathway...safe.
These decisions, made decades ago, have resulted in countless kids being robbed of their childhood, of their right to experience life in a normal fashion to include making mistakes and finding their own identities.
Instead, they attempted to recreate us in the image of a chain smoking, angry alchoholic AA dogma spewing cult leader because his ideals for reforming children fit the mold the drug warriors thought was appropriate for teenagers.
In other words.... we got fucked.

It is also important to remember that the founder of the synanon, Chuck Deitrich, was an AA guy himself.
In fact, the term synanon is a play on the term
alcoholics anonymous.
What it is meant to stand for is sins anonymous (get it).
Chuck Deitrich and Art Barker aren't the first or last AA guy to go off the deep end and declare themselves the leader of a cult movement. All the elements for the rise of a tyrant exist within the confines of AA doctrine.
