Decker. Arrived at RMA while I was a student.
Antigen:
I don't doubt that this guy said what you say he did. And, for all I know, it might be factually true. But remember that the guy had probably been repeating his awful story for 15 years or more. And these "horrible past" confessions tend to grow in the telling.
Compelling evidence would have to include a police blotter or news item of a burned body found in a dumpster around the right place in time. Emperical evidence would have to meet a much higher standard.
All that aside, whether the event was factual or not, the fact remains that this sick fuck saw fit to tell this story to a bunch of captive children. And all the other sick fucks who passed themselves off as responsible adults went along with it asif this were perfectly acceptable behavior. That, I think, is more easily proved and also more germain to the topic at hand; explaining to the uninitiated the nature of the Program.
Necessity never made a good bargain

Some days, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps.

Yes.
But if he really did...what then?
Some street therapy WOULD be in order!
CEDU IS A CULT:
I'm calling Chuck Wyatt tomorow about it. He said he really didn't like Russ Decker and was happy when I told him he quit about a month ago.
Antigen:
The question of if he really did will probably never be answered. But if someone w/ a solid stake--the girl who was gang raped or the family of the guy who was burned to death--comes forward w/ substantial evidence into which your eye wittness testimony of his confession fits, then maybe that will amount to something. All these decades later, most likely those folks will be inclined to let sleeping dogs lie, if they're inclined to think about it at all.
The other aspect of the issue, though, I really think that's a lot more salient. And I forgot to add context for the sake of the uninitiated. The context of these horrid confesstions was a group confession session. In it, this guy was the adult mentor to all of these (your?) children who were then encouraged to come up w/ confessions of their own. Human competitiveness and the need for acceptance being what it is, these kids were essentially encouraged to come up w/ confessions to one-up the others.
That's how these fuckers managed to get your kids to confess to things you never even suspected and, thereby, to re-enforce their schtick that you don't know WTF you're doing as a parent and should, therefore, ignore your gut instinct and "trust the process".
I remain thoroughly convinced that the mindfuck is so much more harmful than any of the physical abuse. I knew going in how to play the game and avoid the worst consequences (or so I thouth) I only got sat on once, and I made the fuckers regret that call. But I didn't get out of it unscathed.
Either cocaine and marijuana are terribly dangerous substances, and breaking the law by consuming them is a major offense that should be severely punished, or these are minor, personal matters that do not really count in the big picture of a man's life. If the latter is the case, then the rationale for a bloody, costly and futile war against drugs simply disappears.
