Oh well, if dishonesty is a label just because you don't agree with my answer, there isn't much to do about it.
It's not a matter of disagreeing with me. In fact I asked you a question April 13, there was nothing to disagree with me about. You didn't answer my question with specific examples of what you thought Eric had lied about instead you admitted to knowing nothing about Westridge but then for the rest of your entire post you wrote personal attacks against Eric.
But I must wonder why there have been no reports of investigation as a result of GoodK's complaints?
Specifically what complaint do you think should have been investigated? Eric's accusation of their behavior modification techniques is in line with many other similar schools. While some school in the past have been forced to shut down, more open up. Something does need to be done.
Why won't he tell us what formal complaints he has made to Utah state authorities? (I don't consider unresponded emails and left phone messages much of an attempt.
It's the whole program that's wrong. Not one particular thing. It's how they treat individuals. You've got to understand what behavior modification is about, and how it is accomplished. And people who have been through these programmes are not emotionally strong individuals, prepared to fight for their rights. They don't even appreciate fully their rights were violated. Many probably after being broken down emotionally, feel they deserve that treatment.
Was there a letter? Did he ever connect with a live being? Did the CPS ever talk to him? Did he ever talk to the cops?)
As if complaining when one finally gets out of such an institution about the humiliation and abuse such as priviledges of even talking being taken away is going to be listened to by any cop?
He also says he has "lawyers" agaggle ready to pounce. It isn't a secret when one has a lawyer. The lawyer would take my call. I'd be interested in making that call. Why aren't we favored with a lawyer.
You've demonstrated on this board that you aren't an individual wanting to help, you demonstrated over and over again your main interest is to taunt Eric. He shouldn't trust you.
So, I'm not ready to accept at face value this big whopper, or the little whopper about some bishop who committed adultery and should be defamed. I not only not accept the story at face value, I doubt its truthfulness.
Well I didn't accept it at face value either. So I did research. I came across for example an individual who'd been there, who wrote a blog. He mentioned going to that place as an incidental. In particular he mentioned a story of a therapist there who told his parents to make sure he puts "icy hot" on his penis. I have posted on this board previously about this and gave the link. Don't have the time atm to look for that. I also looked into what is involved with behavior modification, looked into the history of schools/teen programs which have used it, and I'm confident given the descriptions from ERic and others that this school uses the sort of behavior modification techniques which are meant to break down a person's will so that they will be compliant to whatever is intended. In breaking down these kids wills, humilation and punishments are frequently used.
