I propose a solution- we all write our stories up or what we've seen, ...we submit them all to Child Protective Services in the respective states...

If only it were that simple...I think a lot of people have already tried this, to no avail.  Sounds to me like the owners of a lot of these places are politically well-connected.

Anon, may I ask what your story is?  Former/current student, parent, etc.?

Not if we send them out to EVERYONE!  Including in support of End Institutional Child Abuse Act...not that action should end there b/c it's doubtful that it will pass...I think we need more 'victims' to speak out though...we should be able to find a sympathetic congresssman who will take a stand and push things along!

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

I'm a former student..and yes, sadly there is a great deal of pol connection BUT, we have  our stories!

is there anyone in on this?  I have submited my story to Dr. Pinto, see here for more on that
http://cafety.org/index.php?option=com_ ... &Itemid=38

that same story should be submitted to CPS, kat has it, e-mail address above.  I think we should all do that, but...it was really hard to do, I spent much of my time crying as a Iwrote, really freaked out...dunnoho many of you can reach in and dig this stuff out- it's very uncomfortable, but there's far more power in our stories than...than, jsut saying, these schools, or this school is bad...

So please, reach out to Dr Pinto or the cafety.org people.  Becuase the 'End Institutiaonlized Child Abuse act' is due for a hearing, we should submit them soon to Dr Pinto.  And I think John McCain can push this bill through- what if we send it to him with an official professional looking letter- presumably the Chareles or Kat can do that and jsut have a nice stack of stories from us describing the mental anguish, the...torture- or torture-lite, as Maia calls it.  

If people knew how rampant this was, esp John McCain maybe, i think he would act.  This is why bills die- no one extensively supporting the bill and seeing it moves along, see here

Even if EICA dies, at least we wil have created a something aroudn this issue and attempted to garner support from Congress people who are concerned.

so.... anyone on board?
