I'm having a hard time understanding why you would like to be a part of the whistle-blowing activities if you feel this way... But this being said, all of your "suggestions" have been done. And lawyers have been talked to. Statute of limitations is an issue - as is the lack of a class action lawsuit in Virginia.
I was diagnosed with PTSD by more than one doctor after I graduated. Whether you think that the school is harsh or not, there is no reason a child should suffer with PTSD after attending boarding school. It is inappropriate.
No one compared this to jail. No one said that it was worse. No one said that all of the kids at Carlbrook were well behaved or deserved any sort of *special* treatment... but I don't think it's wrong to expect that the students be treated as humans. Students should have the right to refuse to partake in exercises. Students should have the right to communicate whatever they need to their parents. My calls were monitored and cut off if the staff felt that I was crossing any "boundaries." I was punished for speaking openly with my father about my feelings towards the school 12 months into the program. I was honor council, d-com, friends com, etc. But I was not permitted to discuss any grievances.
I got sick while there and was denied prompt medical treatment. The issue developed quickly and when I finally made it to the doctor, I needed an ultrasound to ensure that I hadn't developed breast cancer. My parents weren't informed until they received a bill in the mail for the ultrasound.
Whether you think it's morally wrong or not, depriving minors of sleep is not a legal activity. 12 hour therapy marathons have not been proven to work in any setting. And I'm going to be bold here and point out that it doesn't appear to be working for Carlbrook, either. Many of the students I attended with have since committed suicide or ODed. This occurs far too often.
Bottom line: Carlbrook has some illegal practices. There are many staff members who are unlicensed and overseeing therapeutic exercises. You lose all rights when you are signed into the school and your parents don't *truly* know what's going on there until well after you've graduated.
The secrecy, money, and "therapeutics" all need to be reviewed by someone who is trained to do so. Hopefully this will happen. Tons of schools just like Carlbrook have been shut down for doing the exact activities that Carlbrook partakes in.
So, your opinion has been heard... but unfortunately for Carlbrook, the legal system likely will disagree with it if their cover is ever blown. Here's to hoping that it is.
