I think it depends in great part what you are trying to bring to action. What aims do you have?
Is it to work to shut down the various Cedu schools and other places like them? If so, contributing to the two investigations that have been cited in this forum seems like a good start. You might also ask the investigators how you could get more involved, perhaps lobbing individuals actively to come forward with their stories of abuse and help them decide to attach their names to the narratives. The majority of posts on abuse on this site, while disturbing, are not evidence. I can also imagine that actively posting to forums for parents considering sending their kids to emotional growth schools might also have an impact. There is finesse to that tactic, but if the post was not anon and presented appropriately I can imagine that people would think twice before choosing Cedu. I have called Detective Chuck Wyatt in Twin Peaks and provided him some narrative on my experiences at RMA and my take on the program in the early 1990s. He said it was useful as background. I was very troubled by the investigation into abuse allegations that he mentioned and am disturbed by all of the posts on abuse I have read on this site. They make me sad and angry on a couple of levels, but mostly sad.
