Petition to Shut Down Provo Canyon School - please sign

I have witnessed the horrors of children enduring great amounts of abuse that were unable to inform anybody. Once you enter the program all forms of communication are cut off, so when there is a form of abuse inflicted the patient has no way to be rescued. I was abused there, and I will always advocate for the teens in Provo Canyon School, and other abusive programs.

Is that true? I don't have any experience with Provo Canyon School, but WWASPS schools don't cut off all forms of communication. Letters are freely written and uncensored so the kids can say anything they want to, and most times they do say they are being abused just so they can push the parental "guilt" buttons and come home and be back in control again.
Parents have weekly contact with the therapists and/or family rep.
Later on they have phone calls and on grounds and off grounds visits.
That's sucks if Provo cuts all forms of communication off.

What a load of bullshit. WWASP censors that letter-- that's already an established fact. Read the Farmer vs. Mitchell case for details and more info.
Kids report the abuse because it actually happened. Because they believe their parents want what's best for them. But once the program has taken over the parents, these parents will gladly have their own children tortured and abused in the name of "treatment".

Provo Canyon School also has a counselor phone home once a week and the student gets to talk on a monitored call - with counselor on the other phone - for about 10 minutes twice a month - maybe three. Visits are strickly discouraged the first month. Parents are all warned that their manipulative children will write and ask to come home and may even tell of FANTASTIC stories of abuse by staff. They are warned to not believe these manipulations by their children. This is done the first week.
There are no pay phones, no internet, the facility is locked, and the staff strickly controls all comunication - even non-verbal such as smiling. Those not towing the line are not allowed to see the light of day - often for months at a time. Immagine spending an entire summer indoors, it's truly worse than juvenile hall. These kids are victims of sexual assault, abuse and other mental illnesses. Most are not criminals.
