This abusive cult must be politically connected

hey,

i was a counselor at daytop in '95.  i was often ostracized and denigrated due to the fact that i was classically educated (not a "daytopian") and took serious issue with the treatment of kids there.  i eventually was squeezed out by acting director lanza who changed/doubled my shifts without notice until i decided to leave.  pretty sad, huh?

anyway, i worked in the ADU and my name is steve.  i hope i was some help to you while you were there...

mind telling me your first name?

I told all four that there are going to be some times where we don't
agree with each other, but that's OK. If this were a dictatorship, it
would be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator.

Hi Steve,

I am the former Daytop resident 94-95.

It sounds like you were one of the few, ethical and clinically appropriate counselors. I do remember counselors like you, who tried their best to be responsible, therapeutic, and empathetic. Joe B from the Millbrook warehouse comes to mind. Like you, most of the decent counselors were not Daytop graduates and/or had some formal education. As we are both aware, most Daytop staff do not have a GED, much less formal clinical training or other college education. I don't remember a Steve--but my memory is blurry on names of staff and residents from that period of time.

When you mentioned Lanza--that triggered a name recollection. Frank Lanza is the director I mentioned in my original post. He made a kid sit on the chair, during winter, outside of the facility. Daytop responded to a complaint about the incident by moving Lanza to a position where he is now responsible for staff training. I am sure numerous staff have reaped the benefits of Lanza's insight about ethics and clinically sound treatment. LOL.

My name is Angela--originally from Long Beach, NY

hey angela,

glad to hear you're doing well.  it always makes me feel good when i hear one of the "kids" has made it to a better place.

i don't remember you either, but i worked in the adolescent diagnostic unit, so you may have been transferred to the other side before i started there.

have you heard from others that were there at the same time?  i miss some of you...

lanza's no longer in charge of anything.  he's dead and buried - literally.  i read online that he had a heart attack and died some time ago (2 years maybe?).

i worked with george, mike and hendrick in the adu.  i always wonder what happened to those guys too.

anyway, hope you're hanging in there...

steve g.
