Facility Question and Answers / White River Academy
« on: December 11, 2007, 12:19:31 AM »
The below post has been edited from its original submission...
A family member was put into White River Academy, Delta, Utah in October. He is not a child that ever needed to be sent off....my sister had the school pick him up from another location, by what me and friends have researched...it appears as though this is one of the very BAD ABUSIVE schools.
My parents are wanting to get custody of my nephew as they know he is in harms way....we are just having a hard time getting appropriate help.....I have been literally sick to my stomach after researching this institutions, and I want to not only help my nephew get free, but all of the other children as well, and I will not stop until there is a stop to this criminal act.....what kind of parent would ever send their child off....I just do not understand this, and will go to great length to help end this abuse....talk about children having no voice....I just am shocked and sick by all of this....I NEED ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE AS FAR AS THE DETAILS OF THIS SCHOOL. AND HOW TO HELP GET MY NEPHEW FREE AS WELL AS SHUT THIS SCHOOL DOWN. Any and all advice would be most appreciated,
I just wish these places were federally regulated if nothing else, but I have read more than enough and think every single school should be completely shut down and EVERYONE employed by these places deserves serious prison time....not to mention the ignorant parents who did not do their proper research
Thank you again, and like I mentioned above I would appreciate any help what-so-ever.
Child & relative assisted.

« on: December 10, 2007, 11:53:48 PM »
Attention grabbers for the flyers...
Playing in the snow didn't make you a snowman...
Visiting the Eiffel Tower didn't make you French...
...visiting wherever etc...
Then something along the lines of....an error in judgement didn't make this kid an alcoholic/drug addict...whatever...

The Troubled Teen Industry / Now THAT was funny
« on: December 10, 2007, 10:44:40 PM »
I laughed until I cried, all the while reading it out loud to my family. My very own teenager didn't like it so much. My husband thought it was pretty good.

Starter questions:
Where have you protested?
When?
What was your personal reason for this protest?
Were you able to educate anyone about the facility and its mode of operation?
Is there a specific staff member you'd like information researched and possibly profiled from this facility?
Do you have additional comments you would like included?
Thanks!

Facility Question and Answers / Can you get an Amen?
« on: December 06, 2007, 11:08:53 PM »
Yeah, AMEN.
Evidently Che missed my post about lock up, the room with only a mattress and sermons getting pumped in while you whiled your days away without a shower, & few bathroom breaks. Possibly he also missed the one about scrubbing floors on hands & knees for hours. Have I not mentioned that the doors were locked, there were alarms on the windows? We weren't allowed to see our families for 6 months or more. Our phone calls were monitored, letters were monitored. We couldn't discuss our past, couldn't watch television, read anything other than schoolowork (which was a waste of time BEFORE getting the worthless diploma, we weren't allowed to talk to anyone not in the particular program we were in. We were isolated from society, had sermons blasted at us morning an night.
Granted, not all of the above is physical abuse, some of it is spiritual, and some emotional...but abuse nonetheless.

But that wasn't the question...
DID any of these "chaps" abuse you.. then use the bible to justify it?
Yes, and yees again. I actually thought that was blatantly evident...

Facility Question and Answers / How was religions used to justify abuse...
« on: December 06, 2007, 10:17:42 PM »Quote from: ""Che Gookin""
Ok.. Out of sheer curiousity can anyone who went to a Roloff home give a clear example of how religion was used to justify child abuse to the child and parent?Oh, that's easy. The Bible says to spare the rod will spoil the child, and other such scriptures that when taken out of context, warped minds can twist and use for evil intents.
