An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

"
There is no such thing as an "attempted" escape at Carlbrook.  You either run or you don't. It's not a lock down."

 :rofl:

That is the same thing that they said to us at RMA.  We all got the "there are no fences here...no bars on the window...you can walk down the road any time you want".  That sure would make for a loooonnnngggggg walk.

First...at RMA we were in the middle of nowhere...where would somebody run?  Hitchhiking was also illegal in Bonner Ferry at the time (so we were told) not to mention that as soon as a child ran...the local law enforcement agencies were all called.

Looking at the area that Carlbrook is in now, it appears that it also is pretty much in the middle of nowhere.  The town's educational and unemployment demographics aren't very impressive either in my opinion...but that's a different subject altogether.

Basically...what I'm getting at here is that if a child is placed in the middle of nowhere far far from home...especially in an environment(school) that practices "attack" therapy...it can feel like prison even though there are no fences/razor wire/bars etc.

50 stories?...How about 500...hell...Ginger could probably get that many just by cutting and pasting off of fornits...it could be done in a way that shows the similarities between each program...for example...the "lifeboat exercise"...it sure sounds like that happened in many different schools.  I could go on and on about particular exercises...but really...we could make a book thicker than the DSM-IV

Wow...look at all the noise that comes up when I ask to have Tim compare and contrast how things were at RMA with the way they are now at Carlbrook.  Funny how everybody seems to rush to his defense...yet he wasn't even being attacked.  I wasn't asking for peoples personal opinions of Tim, yet as a former student of his I'm surprised that he can't answer some questions about programs that he is running vs. the programs that he ran.

All I can suspect is that Tim desires to turn tail and run from the RMA aftermath...sweep it under the carpet and pretend that it never existed.  Perhaps that is why he doesn't list RMA as one of his "credentials".

"Obviously, this particular board is for commentary and opinions based on CEDU. Hopefully, nobody will be too inconvienced or put off with the following.



I'd never heard of Islandview, so I figured I'd look it up.  The first thing I noticed was the location.  Utah just seems to be conducive to disturbing behavior and beliefs.  Far be it from me to denounce polygamy, but when children start being abused then "tradition" and "personal beliefs" are irrelevant, and those guilty of such betrayal of the innocence of children that want to claim entitlement to exception based upon their personal model of faith can make those pleading screams as they are dragged away to the room of ravenous wolves who haven't eaten for five days.  Anyways, that's a rant for another site.



Like I was saying, I looked up this Islandview website, and I neglected to read their bullshit mission statement because those kinds of places all share the same kind of hubristic tone, always intended to mollify parents with the beguiling promise that the trouble in their child's life is not, in fact, a reflection of their parenting whatsoever.  No, in fact, some kids are just born deficient, and there was nothing you as a parent could have done to remedy whatever shortcomings your child displays.  That is where we come in.  Here at...you guys are all familiar with the rhetoric.

Then I checked out the staff bios.  Jesus.  That was the creepiest lineup of so-called troubled adolescent care specialists I've ever seen.  Something about the "school psychologist" particularly brought out a sense of foreboding in me.  I don't know, maybe it was this picture.  The school Psych is the guy who is seated.



http://www.oakley-school.com/founder1.html



Also, check out the "Check in on my child" option on the following official Islandview website.  I love the image there.  This broad has a kid sequestered at some long term radical treatment facility in fucking Syracuse, Utah, and she's sitting at the computer with this vapid grin on her face that is probably intended to appear delighted, relieved, and grateful all at once.  You can almost read the thoughts her face is supposed to imply- "Oh, he IS making progress!  What a wonderful assessment of my kid?s progress by the people I'm paying to straighten him/her out.  Well, not straighten them out, I mean, heal them of their inherent defects that I did nothing to cause and was wholly unqualified to correct.  Unlike these nice people in Utah, who I'm paying an exorbitant amount of money to in order to guide the development of my own child's very personality.  I'm comfortable with that.  And this progress report says that my kid is making huge strides towards being a functioning and stable human being, although he/she is still a good 6 months to a year away from discharge.  Speaking of which, I better get my checkbook and send those miracle workers another used Honda Civic.  For what they're doing with my kid (and for what I don't have to trouble myself with doing now,) paying enough money per month to buy a used car outright is totally worth it."



Actually, I'd imagine that is not the sentiment they had in mind in going with this particular image.  But it's what I took out of it.

Sardonic...I remember your first post that has since been lost.  I was afraid to comment on it as I too wanted to lash out at those that were dismissing the wave of emotions that were brought out by being "turned on" to this site.  I have seen that you now realize that we are not all a bunch of "disgruntled 20 year olds" with nothing better to do with our time than bash programs as many people lay into us about.  For nearly two decades I have repressed everything that happened at RMA that tweaked with my psyche and when I see so many other people going through the exact same things it made me start to remember and it really isn't a fun rollercoaster ride of emotions.  Lots of thigs were buried deep within our subconcious due to the sleep deprivation/physical exhaustion tecniques used in conjunction with their so called "excercises"...now that I am remembering alot of what happened to me at RMA and telling my story to my family and psychiatrist everybody has a new understanding for the trauma I have been experiencing post RMA.

I am not one of the people that has not gotten on with my life.  I have Degrees in Both Econ and Business...have contributed to society in many ways whether it be volunteer work or substitute teaching while running a business and restoring a house.  I'm not a lazy misfit.  I have tried "getting over it and moving on" for a long time now seeing both Psychologists and Psychiatrists all of whom have been baffled by my illness.  None of them doubted that I was "messed up" but they couldn't put their finger on it.  I have been a medical guinea pig for years with nothing working (supposed bipolar) but after seeing that I was better off meds...albeit still screwed up and tortured in my head...I felt destined for a life of hopelessness.  After finding this site and telling my story I have been rediagnosed with PTSD.  That is a whole new struggle in itself.

With regards to your comments on the brochure for Islandview...if you started checking out the websites for other schools...you will see that they all seem so benign yet they are still running things in similar if not the same ways.  And the glazed looks of happiness are there also.  I have checked out where the former RMA faculty of my day are now...(some of who don't even mention in their website Bio's that they were affiliated with RMA) and they have sprouted up as school directors all over the country.

Thanks for understanding

"I recall back in 1985, 3 of us students rented some videos and were invited to Randy Eide and Caroline Wolfe's apartment above the field house to watch them.



Caroline came out of the shower with nothing but a small tower wrapped around her and proceeded to make herself comfortable on the carpet in front of the TV to watch Clint Eastwood flicks.



She laid the towel on the carpet and then laid down on top of it, face-down, and for 4 hours that was the view we got.



She also made endless sexual references and suggestions and invited me up to her apartment on two occassions, alone.  To think she did not have sex with students seems unlikely at best.  That Randy didn't care his "former" prostitute, CEDU grad girlfrien/fiance was lying naked in a room with three students, one of whom was having a sex contract for 6 months (me), was a little strange.





--Bill,"

You're shitting me :eek:

ok...it appears that a faculty member has come out of woodwork and made themselves known.  I can appreciate their desire for anonymity and their request for their name not to be "muddied".

I have just a couple questions for starters and hope that we can have some intelligent discourse without resorting to the "noise" that I read on this forum from both the "pro" and "anti" camps on this forum.

1.  Can I safely assume that if the poster is not Tim Brace, that he is privy to what is said here concerning Carlbrook?

2.  Would Tim be willing to field questions directly on this forum for the purpose of comparing and contrasting how Carlbrook is run now vs. the way that Rocky Mountain Academy was run while he was the director there?
