Facility Question and Answers / Outback Therapeutic Expedition /Second Nature
« on: October 19, 2007, 01:34:05 PM »
My ex-wife has a lot of money. She has a psychiatrist and at least 5 psychologists involved in this case. Although, of course, no psychiatric evaluation was ever done on my son until he was in the wilderness program for a month, and even then his diagnosis came back as Depression NOS and Parent-Child relationship problems, neither of which are recognized as valid diagnosis for residential therapeutic treatment.

Her basis for putting him in Utah is parental alienation syndrome, that I have made her kids hate her.  She ignores the fact that her kids didn't start hating her until after she sent her son to Utah. She used PAS as an excuse to send her son to Utah even though he had never committed a crime, was passing in all of his classes in school, had never been violent toward anyone, and was obedient to her reasonable orders. In reality, she sent him to Utah because he does not want to live with her, and in a child custody dispute sending him to Utah is the only way she can keep him from being able to live with me. Otherwise, at 15, he would get to choose the parent he wanted to live with.  As it is, she has kept him from having any contact with me or his sister for six months  now in spite of two court orders so far to the contrary.

As far as the court putting her in jail, that is unlikely. She is claiming that she is acting in the best interest of the child, and the court has to wait until it has facts to the contrary. The court ordered an independent psychological evaluation of my son in June and it has not yet been performed due to my wife's and the facility's continuances and delays. She has 3 lawyers working for her on this case.

The best that I can hope for is that my son gets brought back home sometime in the next 3 or 4 months. I will have to put up with more of this crap until he turns 18.

The court where my divorce is filed has jurisdiction over my wife and son, not the wilderness program. And, having watched my wife delay a court ordered independent evaluation for 6 months now and still going strong, I have little belief that it has jurisdiction over my wife.

As far as the GAO goes, remind me the last time the government actually helped me with something. I am thinking . . . nope. Can't remember it.

No, they didn't. At least I don't think the facility he is in is related to Aspen. I think it is owned by 4 or 5 women.

In Canada, kids apparently have rights as of 16, so parents probably have to smuggle the kids out of Canada themselves instead of using escort services.

When my son was first sent to wilderness, the story they gave me was that it was a 1 to 2 month process and he would be back home again. Then they diagnosed him with Depression NOS, and said Residential Therapeutic Facility was the right place for him.  They gave me a bunch of bullshit about me having frequent contact with him, but it was all a lie. They wouldn't even let me see him when he went from the wilderness program to the Residential Therapeutic facility.  

It has been 6 months since I have been able to talk to my son even by telephone. Now they want to place him in another facility because the facility he is in now has discovered how many lawsuits my ex-wife has filed in the past and apparently figured out that my wife will sue them no matter what they do and ask for all her money back.  They appear to be trying to turf him off to another unsuspecting facility as soon as they can. In the mean time, I believe they are afraid to let him talk to me because they are hoping to keep her from suing them. They appear to have figured out that she is much more formidable as a litigant than I am.

I have been fighting this in court and am now bankrupt. My ex-wife has all the marital assets tied up.

I have talked to several psychologists and one adolescent psychiatrist, and they all say that what is happening is child abuse. These people should be in jail.

The owner of Gateway Academy in Salt Lake City Utah is the former director of the agency that licenses residential therapeutic facilities. Gateway Academy has like 3 or 4 lawyers that own it. Imagine that.

My wife had my son kidnapped and sent to Outback Therapeutic Expedition even though I have joint custody.  I went to Utah to try to get him back but Outback made it clear that they would require me to file a lawsuit in Utah to get him back. I couldn't afford to do that. They had cooperated with my wife in hiding him from me in the wilderness and I had no way of finding him.

Outback Therapeutic Expedition knew they were helping to use him as a weapon. There had been no psych eval before he was sent out there, and even when they had one done by their pet Psychologist, the only diagnosis they came up with to keep him was Depression Not Otherwise Specified.

In my opinion, the people at Outback Therapeutic Expedition should be put in Jail.

Gateway Academy appears to be just another institution for child abuse. A warehouse for kids whose parents are messed up. I don't know anything about the other place.

Gateway Academy charges $10,000 per month and has barely qualified people, some of whom appear not to be licensed. As programs go, it probably looks the best, but figure your kid is going to spend 99% of his time with ski bums who are just there for the minimum wage job while they ski.

As far as any real therapy going on, you have to be joking. It is a Gulag, just like all the other Gulags.
