HEADLINE: Center administrator denies clients' allegations

BODY:
C. Suzanne Hardman-Broder, administrator of Straight Inc., denied that clients were abused or mistreated and claimed that the state regulators did not discuss such allegations with her.

Straight Inc., which has been operating in Marietta for almost 11 years, is part of a Florida-based chain of adolescent drug-treatment facilities that has come under fire in other states. Officials in California, Virginia and Florida have investigated complaints of abuse, in some instances closing facilities.

Clients at the Marietta facility alleged they were:

Called a "slut," "tramp" and a "hell-raiser" in front of a group.

Denied access to water, medical care and sleep.

Physically restrained and not permitted to leave even if they were an adult.

Other problems detailed by the regulators included:

The facility couldn't prove their psychiatrist evaluated a client who swallowed a bottle of cough medicine and some whiskey, and slashed his arm.

One counselor had only a general equivalency diploma; three others had only bachelor's degrees with majors in psychology.

Ms. Hardman-Broder said the allegations "concerned' her but noted, "I also have worked with dysfunctional people who tend to say things when they want to prove a case that may be exaggerated or taken out of context."

What makes me most sick reading this post is I was still in the Atlanta program when this was written. What a blatant liar she was.

We should find if she is working with children and inform her employers of her askewed point of view on appropaite treatment of children. Its obvious that she isn't up to date.
