The Troubled Teen Industry / Green Chimneys, Maltreatment Center

Green Chimneys in Brewster, NY is nothing but a Maltreatment Center. My child was brutalized by staff and I later learned sexual abuse was part of the picture. DO NOT SEND ANY CHILD TO GREEN CHIMNEYS NOR RECOMMEND GREEN CHIMNEYS TO ANYBODY!!!
Dr. Samuel B. Ross Jr. is nothing but a charletan, a mountebank, a liar. He is good at swindling, yes, swindling money from big corporations and conning famous people to do photo shoots with, all with the idea of continuing this Maltreatment Center and fooling the public at large. It was a jaw-dropping moment for me to learn that I was not the only parent to get the "the Pope gets kicked out of my office if a child has trouble" routine. Other parents were told the same thing, practically if not verbatim. My own child said that you don't seek help from Dr. Ross; he is just what you need protection from!
Dr. Ross Jr. is, according to my child and other kids I've listened, yes LISTENED to a very cruel person. Kids have disclosed genuine horror stories of being slapped and having their hair pulled and sundry physical abuses, including beatings in front of the entire student body. I also learned that untrained staff manned the dorms and kids were left to supervise the rooms. Abuse was common and I have since learned that many survivors, as these Green Chimneys kids are calling themselves are coming forward with disclosures. I only wish I'd listened to my child when my child was trying to tell me about what was taking place there. Hiding my head in the sand and defending the powers that be was the worst thing I could have done. Had I only listened, I could have spared my child the extreme level of abuse and resulting trauma.
The Green Chimneys videos on YouTube are completely deceptive. Nobody can leave comments. If you try, you get the "comment pending moderator approval" routine. Loosely translated, that means nobody can leave any negative comments. Again, this is with the idea of fooling the public.
