What about "Carlbrook School"?
Anonymous:
You graduated last week, I wonder if you know my son? What can you tell me about Brandy and Greta, (Advisors) did you know them? Do all the kids who attend Carlbrook go through ISS? Is this part of the mind control game that they like to play? My son has been in ISS for 4 weeks now for punching a bed post because he didn't agree with being put on an extra work crew - a wash basin was wet. When I talked to him last he cried for most of the 20 minutes. I was told that I couldn't talk to him without his advisor being on the phone.

So why don't you saddle up and get your ass to CB and PULL YOUR KID?? Someone's got to be the grownup here, lady.

How long were you there?
There is no doubt that CB is not right for everyone.
I also have no doubt that you should not have been there -- or any other alternative school for that matter. Clearly that's going to color your feelings about the school.

I am the guest who posted that long message on june 12th about my experience at CB. I was there for almost 8 months when I finally left. People acutally never allowed me to say that it wasnt right for me, but rather forced me to believe that I was at the same level as everyone else. People in my peer group actually complained saying that they couldn't "rail" me as easily as other people because I didn't do anything wrong when I was at home, but the advisors said they couldn't treat me differently just because I never did drugs or had self harm thoughts. As many other people have mentioned, CB will bring you down so that they can bring you back up with carlbrook's ideals, guided by the code of standards. I knew I had ambition and I knew there was nothing wrong with me, but I didn't want people to think that. I acted like the perfect CB rolemodel. I never got crews and I would talk new people out of leaving. I actually talked this girl out of leaving two days before I booked it.
Does anyone else feel similar to this? Right after you leave CB, you feel connected to it and have a hard time admitting that you were brainwashed or even manipulated? But the more time you spend in the free world, with freedom of thought not forbidden, you realize that CB was a bunch of liars, hypocrits, and manipulators. I've come to the place where I am resentful of its values and the way it conducts things. If I could, I would try to close the school down so no other person would have to face what I had to.

You can. You can sue this place out of existence. Since the police won't defend you, you have to defend yourself, civilly.

Mr. Paperclip- When were you at CB?
