Okay so anal searches never happened.. thats definately an exageration.
FOR THE STAFF MEMBER:
I'm intrigued to know which staff member is posting here.. I might have hated you at the ridge, but I must say that I respect your honesty on this forum. The bottom line is that the majority of the people they hire are the same people you'd see getting into a bar room fight. They take out their anger on the students, for two reasons. One, because they can... Two, because, simply put, they just dont like us! I attended Ivy Ridge for awhile, and it was the absolute worst experience of my life. No nightmare I've ever had can surpass some of my worst days at Ivy Ridge. I'll never forget how I felt, and how fast my heart was beating as I watched George Tulip, Tim Reed, and another staff come chasing at me while I was simply sitting on the floor in intervention. The feeling I felt before They jumped on top of me. I'll never forget Justin Strade a 12 year old kid from florida, who looked younger then my average sized 8 yr old brother , being jumped on by 3 full sized men. You say the program can work. Well by god I believe you. If you put anyone or anything in a controlled environment, and tell it what to do all day by physical force and mental punishment.. well eventually it's going to do what you want! But, you must remember, it's doing it for you, and not for their self. So in other words its not going to mean shit a year down the road when they're released. Anyways, I'm definately curious as to who you are, anonymous staff. I think you may have been one of the few staffmembers I actually looked up to. You dont have to tell me who you were, I'm just curious if you knew who I was. My name is Chris G and I was in Quest Family under Leslie Bass and later Dan Buckley... You probably knew me... I was quite the "troublemaker" haha
