We call it confidentiality, my friend. Really, it should have been the first and most important rule instead of "honesty."

Maybe this will come up in Google Search now. Two directors in Michigan Straight and Pathways who thought it was okay to work in a place that imprisons kids for indefinite amounts of time. Hell even people in jail and prison have a set date to look forward to getting out. We did not and were at their mercy to determine when they thought we were "strong" enough to graduate.
-
Which Straight are those people from? If anyone knows the dates of tenure for any staff put that in too.

It's a floor polish! No! It's a desert topping! No wait! It's both!!!!
What if it was a client who went on to staff?
We were all underage and under various degrees of coercion when we made those daily pledges of secrecy. It's up to the person who made the post to decide whether or not they want to do this other old friend a favor and take their name out of it.

i see, i was mistaken about the uh, way to get your name off the forum? i thought that moderators had done that for people before.
i have gotten no personal apologies from any staff i knew when i was there. i have seen NONE of them come by here and say anything. NONE of them, not one. they could answer questions or help with memories. they fucked with a friend of mine BIG TIME. :flame: even if you were completely "brainwashed", i GUESS you are still responsible for your actions.
thanks for reminding me. to anyone i hurt in any way in Springfield Straight 1987, i regret my actions. i wish i could go back an do things differently. if you ever want to talk in person about things, i will. i owe you.

ex-prisoners: respect
former prison guards (staff): no respect
Mad N. Va: get some exit counseling. you're quite blanked in the head if you think an internet message forum is obligated to operate by the same rules as the cults you like.[ This Message was edited by: ;) on 2005-06-04 07:45 ]

They went on Staff, they're fair game. If they have "made a change" since then, let them explain to me how they are different now. Brainwashed or not, they accepted financial compensation for abusing clients. The excuse "I was brainwashed too!" sounds a little too close to "The Devil made me do it".

Yeah, if it's an anon post (author can't edit it) and if I'm pretty sure that either the author is the same person making the request or it's something clearly so far out of bounds, like confidential shit on a minor or someone's SS# or home address. But mind you, I'm not legally bound to do this ever. It's just the decent thing to do sometimes (imo). And I can't possibly promise to watch every post. There are currently 88863 Post in the database. 61 today (and it's Easter... what's wrong w/ us??? LOL)

Oh, it's happened. It's actually not all that uncommon. But some are still just full on pricks. Awhile back, Charles Pendergrass posted some snide shit. It was sort of funny cause a couple of us knew him right off and both immediately said "Oh yeah? Remember Bobby?" Bobby was a kid who just got a rougher ride than most and Fucking Charles was on Sr. then. Muthu fucking pussy tucked tail and ran.
Marney Sykes is completely different. But then, she was one of the less sadistic staffers even then.

Yeah that. Staff was just another phase of the program. And that's common to most of the troubled parent industry. And it's entirely fucked up in that anybody who has solid info to come forward with immediately gets attacked. Outsiders can't understand how they could wittness and take part in this fucked up shit for months or years w/o realizing it was fucked up. But we should. Otherwise, we'll never have very many credible wittnesses willing to come forward.
The internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it.

Jim Sailor. He was a prick....started me over for nothing aside from not relating in group enough.
Some more names of shithead staff from Old Virginny:
Dean Mistretta (waaaay up there on the abusive a-hole list)
Joey Glaze (total nazi-youth fanatic who loved fucking with ppl)
Nathan Bright (same with him)
Courtney Bright (let's just say that she didn't live up to that last name of hers- lol)
Matt Lyle (another fanatical jerk)
Scott Prophett (same goes for him...have to say this despite the fact that I was one of the lucky ones that he didn't fuck with too badly)
Paula Prophett (psycho bitch)
Beth Faquory (sp? -same with her)
