Ms. Spickelmire,

I have stated in posts before that I have plenty of gay friends, and was dumbfounded by Niles hatred for most of the women on this board. I totally agree, gay men do make great friends. So what the hell is his problem then?

What makes you say he hates women, I've never seen him attack women for being women.

Post by: hanzomon4 on October 24, 2007, 06:17:47 PM
I never went to a program. I found out about the industry about a year or so ago and felt obligated to do something. I've always been an avid history buff and I truly admired the major civil rights movements. Never would I have thought that the rights of children and teens were in such a sorry state. Knowing history like I do I know that it's vital that folks unrelated to the issue stand with those personally effected by it. To not do so would be neglecting the responsibilities I feel we have to our fellow human beings. Make no mistake I don't see myself as that important, however every bit of effort is needed and I want to do my part.... whatever that is.

CCMCUNT is up to her old tricks like the bitch she is.

CCMCUNT admits to using her sexuality to lure male staff and get them fired.

No wonder CCMCUNT doesn't think abuse happened.

CCMCUNT was an abuser herself. CCMCUNT is a sexual abuser.

GBTW. Nothing to see here. Don't bump these threads it only encourages CCMCUNT.

CCMCUNT doesn't like the word victim because she is  A perpetrator.

Up to my old tricks, whut????? I admit I used my sexuality to lure male staff, to get them fired, yeah so what! I wasn't the only one who did that. I think that there is abuse that goes on in RTC's however, I didn't see any, or hear of any, during my stay. But what you all fail to get, is there is a lot of abuse that goes on outside of treatment centers. In fact, a lot more abuse goes on outside the walls, then inside the walls.

A ton more. You know it, and I know it. Period.

It doesn't make it right that it happens at all, but you all exaggerate the hell out of it. Making it sound like all programs kids are abused, mentally, physically, and sexually.

Oh that's right, I am here on Fornits where the majority of the posters believe all programs are bad. That none should exist, and that kids should be able to do whatever the hell they want even if it hurts other people.

The point isn't whether or not abuse happens outside of programs, the point is that they are abusive, and should not be. You can't excuse abuse in a program because it happens elsewhere anymore than I could, say, rape you, and excuse it because someone somewhere else got raped in a worse way.

Right? I mean if I bought you dinner afterwards it would make it all better just like with your logic regarding excusing a program's abuse, right? :rofl:

Well scale wise of course. Programs are a tiny bubble world that represent a fraction of the country and have a tiny fraction of the adolescent population. The points are:
Clearly WWASPS didn't adequately teach you statistics.

Given what we've found out thats indicated to be a truth. You're not suggesting ANYTHING with any basis in fact to the contrary, rather, you're saying our extraordinary claims are extraordinary.

Well, um, no shit? 30 years of ZERO proof to show they're good, but 30 years of victims coming forth with CONSISTENT ACCUSATIONS OVER THOUSANDS OF MILES AND THREE DECADES IS SIGNIFICANT. YOU CAN NOT COUNTER THAT BY WHINING EXAGGERATION!

Well, you're right, except we don't think kids should hurt other people. But you can't somehow counter that programs are wrong, shouldn't exist, and are abusive, by saying that you should be able to abuse a bad kid so they can't hurt others themselves.  :roll:

The point is ethical treatment, and only when necessary, and when not necessary, an ethical treatment OFFERED, not COERCED.

No amount of putting words in our mouths will change our position, except when you preach to the choir of programmie lurkers.

Once upon a time you would have gone nuts had someone said something of that sort. But now with all the trolling back and forth it is hard to know what you really believe.

No, I do not believe sexual abuse is okay in programs. But, when both parties are consenting to it........then it's not "abuse". It might be wrong, but not abuse.

Kids getting beaten in programs is totally not okay with me at all.

Me being inspired to say get over it, and move on was because I see too many people on here letting their experiences in programs effect them for the rest of their lives. Using it as some sort of crutch. So yeah, get over it, and be strong.

I have no clue if Niles is gay, I think he could be bi?!! I really don't know, or care! All I know is he has a foul mouth, and is very disrespectful to women. That bothers me.

Anything else?

No?

Sometimes tact pays off.. I agree to some extent that people of all sorts take way to long a ride on the pity party train. Yet rather than be the one to comment on it I've learned to just shut the hell up. Makes for less of a head ache. Furthermore, I also remember back when I was having my own bucket of tears festival. Tactless comments didn't help much or inspire me...

Just some food for thought for you.. maybe you ought consider letting people figure it out on their own. Not everyone walks the same road you do and it takes longer for others to sort out their feelings.

Let them do it on their own in their own time.

I agree that Niles is a rude, crude, nasty mouthed little boy at times. Does this excuse you from your own behaviors? No...

Though I will say you never used to go off like you do now until you were attacked over your intial comments regarding Heritage.

Just bear in mind that you need not rise to the challenge anymore. I believe you were done a great wrong back when this blew up. But you played a role in it all with the way you responded. That need not be the case anymore. I'm more than willing to support you as much as I can providing you are taking it easy and not lashing back at people.  So please...  Ignore the assholes and focus on the relavent?

1. I prefer wine, but if I have to have a beer with pizza, it would be a Newcastle.

2. I like all types of music. I listen to rap often, but there are not many artists to where I could actually go out and buy an Album ( I only like 1 or 2 of their songs). Thank god for ipod's. Best rap album ever would be Dr. Dre The Chronic.

I will try, and play nice. But, it's really hard when I get verbally abused all the time not to be just as immature as them. I really hate the word cunt, and I have been called that over a hundred times here! Then to be called whore. Hey, I admit I did things that were bad. I did use my sexuality as a weapon to get people iced way back in the day. So what? I was bored as all hell, and sometimes did things that were just plain evil. A lot of us did. I felt bad about it. I said I was sorry. Maybe that's why I was in those schools for so long?!!

I was molested from the age of 7 until I was 11 by a much older cousin.  I was raped when I was 15.  My stepfather tried to fuck me I don't know how many times.  Teachers, counselors, police....you name it.    Sexuality is a powerful thing and a young, vulnerable girl at the mercies of untrained, unqualified "hot" staff is a prime target.  They know the girls are excited by the attention.   Especially in a situation like a program.  They know the kind of power they wield over the kids, they know how starved for attention and affection these girls are and they USE it.

A child cannot consent to sex with an adult.  A patient cannot consent to sex with their therapist.  Why is this so difficult a concept to grasp?  I don't get it??

No, we're tying to stop it from happening, help those who were abused, and punish those who abuse others.

And for that matter, who are YOU, still clinging to your program now, to tell anyone else that they are letting their experiences effect their lives too much? If someone was horrifically abused you don't just snap out of it. You're carrying the very kind of bullshit you're accusing everyone else of having.

Its not a crutch. Its a crime that needs to be stopped. Quit blaming the victim and give some vitriol at the person who DID that to them. Why are they so conspicuously not a part of what you say unless its me pissing you off on a fucking forum? Me pissing you off over the internet is me being bad, but someone abusing them in a program = them being a victim?

YOU'RE the one using "such a victim" as a crutch for your shaky, bullshit arguments, STRAIGHT out of the mouth from the program you were in!

Well, see, I listened to people when they came to me. A lot of people came to me.

I listened to all of them. I also have something called "compassion" and "empathy". These let me imagine what its like to be there and start to understand the dynamic going on inside.

But at any rate, who are you? Who are they?

This isn't about anger, this is about what has been posted in my sig, that 800 pound gorilla in the room everyone ignores.

They're cut off from the world, trapped there for no good reason, nobody seems to have any explanation, we've had a steady trickle of consistent accusations of abuse for three decades and the only thing you can say is "I wasn't there".

Who gives a fuck?

You're emotionally defending programs and relying on argumentative ploys instead of facts to back up your assertions.

Who is the programmed one here? Why not prove what you say instead of give nonsensical generalities and say we're saying kids should be allowed to hurt people?

Hey , you keep asking others, why dont you show some proof?

I've reposted enough, and the burden of proof is on them to prove programs work anyway!

They've had 30 years... what gives? If they're so good, show something!

That also is irrelevant to the issue of ethics, morals, and their rights as children, or the nonsensical model of treating problems by ignoring them and forcing completion of a B.M. Curriculum supplemented with LGATs.

Quite frankly, programs are absurd, and the only thing CCMgirl can pull out of her ass is "they're not ALL bad!" (with no proof, or anything more than a false middle fallacy as a crutch) or "WELL YOU DON'T OFFER ALTERNATIVES WTF YOURE SAYING LET THEM HURT PEOPLE?

Honestly... most people with troubled kids do fine without programs. Statistics don't LIE. There are tons of alternatives, and I don't feel like copying and pasting everything deb has posted for years just for CCM.

Put up, or shut up, and see the sig.


You show us nothing,  if you think the schools are ineffective produce some evidence, some data that suggests 20,000 kids a year suffer in these places.  Don’t just give me a link to some kid who had a bad experience, I am looking for long term clinical studies that show these schools are ineffective.  If there were 20,000 kids a year suffering from these schools, one would think more than 1 or 2 would have raised their hand and said something or went to the police.  The majority of these kids move on to some of the top universities in the country..... you spin off and go nuts and start posting porn because a couple of people push your buttons and you dont have the education or grammar to defend your position thru dialog yet in the same breath boast of a 146 I.Q..  (what’s up with that, anyway?)

You have no evidence; you just beat up on people like CCM who tell a different truth than you want to believe.

This is nothing more than a dumping grounds for your anger and hatred, you have no ties to this industry what so ever, so pick a sight like KKK or NAACP to beat up on and leave survivors like CCM and my daughter off your list.

Oh, and one more thing...I am a real stupid asshole.

Yeah, I am not pissed about it.  But I feel bad for people who want to come on here and be anonymous and just tell their story without it being changed or having their I.P. traced back to a school or program, getting them fired.

Wish there was a way to stop it, especially for the new people coming on here.  I  know I wouldnt want to log on.

Hey, I admit I did things that were bad. I did use my sexuality as a weapon to get people iced way back in the day. So what? I was bored as all hell, and sometimes did things that were just plain evil. A lot of us did. I felt bad about it. I said I was sorry. Maybe that's why I was in those schools for so long?!!


I was molested from the age of 7 until I was 11 by a much older cousin.  I was raped when I was 15.  My stepfather tried to fuck me I don't know how many times.  Teachers, counselors, police....you name it.    Sexuality is a powerful thing and a young, vulnerable girl at the mercies of untrained, unqualified "hot" staff is a prime target.  They know the girls are excited by the attention.   Especially in a situation like a program.  They know the kind of power they wield over the kids, they know how starved for attention and affection these girls are and they USE it.

A child cannot consent to sex with an adult.  A patient cannot consent to sex with their therapist.  Why is this so difficult a concept to grasp?  I don't get it??



Yet no where did CCM Girl say that such a situation was right.. She just doesn't believe it was rape.

I am not trying to discredit Fornits, I am pointing out a flaw that you continue to exploit.... you are doing this to yourself,  if you read my posts you will see that I merely want the problem resolved.  I have kept quiet until it started up again.

Its not a scare tactic.  What I am saying is the admins need to be trusted with your information.  Some of the admins do not hold this trust to a high enough standard and expose people if they don’t agree with them or lose an argument.  Deborah (in the past) has entered into several posts of mine and changed the content of that post without leaving an edit trail (this has been established after several iterations).  My I.P. address (all but the last number) and location was posted about a year or two ago for all to see.  So people know what town I live in.  If there happened to be a TBS or boarding school in the town they would know what school you are posting from.

When you post on any web site your IP number is left there and will allow admins, like Deborah, to determine if the post is coming from Cummington, Massachusetts or Dahlonega, Georgia.  It will be “time stampedâ€

There were more kids who were dangers to themselves. I honestly think ASR is very lucky in that no one has succeeded in committing suicide. I can tell you first hand that for someone with major depression ASR could drive you past breaking point easily. It seemed like they pick and chose who they took seriously about being suicidal. I was not taken seriously, and had my roommate not been in the room one day, I may well have taken my life. I do not say that to evoke pity or anything else like that, and I was not using it to "manipulate" ( a favorite ASR term)

A self study was the worst of the three major consequences. (reflection, challenge, self study). You had work projects, all free time was spent at your table, facing the wall. Lots of writing assignments. Loss of all privileges. Standing during all meetings. You most likely had strict bans

Basically I had to take her back to the dorm and be with her while she gathered up her things and changed, etc. I don't remember if she showered or not. I was basically there to make sure she didn't attempt again.

I don't know why they had me do it. I was "trusted" at that point, and honestly... probably a better choice than some of the staff.

yes, they did. to a large degree. Dean Kent (the staff mentioned in the article) was gone by the time i had arrived. (he was there in 1997, and i got to ASR in Cummington, MA on January 5th of 1998) i had heard from other students about Dean, that he was a really nice guy but fired b/c he'd called DSS on them. Brett Carey was still the Dean of Student Life when i arrived, and his wife Lisa also helped in the fitness department & was pregnant when i first arrived. They had 2 other daughters, Madison & Carly. The whole thought was a bit frightening, because when we had the 2 hour group "therapy" sessions 2 times a week, they were harsh and abusive to say the least. All of us students would be split into 2 groups, and we'd be rounded up in a circle to get screamed at, belittled and dehumanized. They called it "confrontational", although it was more like verbal abuse and intentional slaughtering.
i was very afraid while i was there, as a student with an extensive sexual abuse history involving rape & incest, i was constantly the target of this slaughtering, esp. b/c i was overweight at the time. needless to say, i left ASR with anorexia some 19 months later.
Brett & other students were all allowed to scream vulgarities at you, called you a "fat bitch, slut," and all. at the age of 15 i learned the word "dildo" while playing scrabble with Brett. One of my roomates claimed that Brett had forced her into sexual operations.
Most of all, it was excusable for students to haze each other.
It was almost looked at as funny. One Staff named Kristen Merhoff gave me funny looks and made sarcastic and patronizing comments when i'd opened up to her about my eating disorder.
Later on, a staff named Amy Robichaud would scream at me for ruining my life, pushing everyone away, talking about how i was a disasterous person, unworthy of being loved. To say the least, she was an abusive person, much alike a person in the throws of an addiction like alchoholism & drug addictions, both of which she admittedly had. There was a great deal of favoritism there, even staff who seemed to want to gain the approval of certain students.
The labor & sleep deprivation that was mentioned in the article is most likely in reference to the "Lifesteps". These were so called "workshops" it was mandatory for all students to attend. Staff and students would be expected to open up there deepest and most unknown
secrets for the sake of "growing". It's true, there was little sleeping allowed & often i myself left feeling shamed & ridiculed.
i was one of the main targets in that school the entire time i was there, a target of hazing & was even blamed for a student breaking into the med office and comsuming large quantities of my prescriptions. For the first 5 months i was there, you could litterally leave, go smoke 1/2 a pack of cigarettes, drop a couple tabs of acid, take like 5 hits off a joint come back & they wouldn't even realize it.
ASR is, to say the least, a very very fucked up place. i have several more things to say, but this whole thing would take eons.

I am a former student at ASR. I was in the first peer group, 97-98. My experience there haunts me to this day. I have read many articles that refer to the "old staff" and "new staff". I cannot speak for the way ASR is run now, being 2004, but I can speak for how it was run in 97 and 98. Let me start by saying that I am not an angry, defiant kid who is trying to start trouble for ASR. I have graduated high school and am about to graduate college and enter law school. I don't get into trouble, I am a productive member of society, and want people to know the truth. We were badgered, belittled, sworn at, made to stay up all night during "life steps" and given only small rations of food, had all calls to our parents monitored by staff and had the phone hung up on us if we tried to complain to our parents about these things, scrutinized and humiliated on a daily basis. Our mail was read, staff lost their voices by yelling so loudly at us, I personally was called a "slut", a rich little Daddysgirl, a doormat, told my dad tried to buy my love with money, made to discuss personal sexual and private experiences in group sessions with other peers, made to write a ten page paper by hand about what my "issues" were, and if the staff didn't like it, I started over ( this was because I was too close to my friend there, and they put us on bans so we couldn't talk to each other). People, whomever wants to hear specific stories about all of these things, I would be more than happy to share with you!!! email me at gilligansisland636@hotmail.com (http://mailto:gilligansisland636@hotmail.com) i bet i can help you get her out of there


I also graduated from ASR very recently on August the 6th. And I can tell you right now that any kid who complained, their parents were manipulated right out of believing them. There was extreme emotional abuse there, and the only reason anyone's behavior was modified was because they were scared shitless of staying there longer or going to a worse program. We were so scared, your own friends turned against you and you couldnt trust them. The group sessions were awful. One of my friends who had issues with sleeping around was in group and the counselor in the room told her that she might as well keep a mattress tied to her back. Daily, I heard awful things about myself and everyday I was just so sad. Places like this are awful and they need to be stopped. ASR isnt even the worst of them but they all need to go.

I am a an ASR graduate. I graduated in October of 03. At the end of the program I believed that ASR had done a lot for me. Looking back I am shocked that I ever thought that. I was made to turn against my friends and turn them in for the slightest rule breaking (for example listening to music). In group we were often degraded and yelled at, supposedly to make us better. Several times I was suicidal and instead of worrying they told me I was lying and being manipulative. In one group eveyone was allowed to go around and say their judgements against everyone else things like "youre a fat slut". That group was horrible. You were scared into being good and behaving. I'm not sure why I thought this place was so great, I feel as if I was brainwashed in a way.
The wilderness experience was horrible. I spent over 40 days in the outdoors being punished for any little thing we did wrong. My first day I had to run 20 minutes and when I stopped the counselers screamed at me and when i vomited they didnt care. just told me i shouldt have drank so muich water.
