Teen Behavior Modification Camps Abuse
Teens: They are not what they seem! I know I survived two years in
one! They are unregulated, poorly staffed and a money making scam. They
will abuse your child badly.

19-Year Old Tells Her Story:
"... My experience there was horrific and abusive to the best of my
recollection. I had been diagnosed with severe depression and post
traumatic stress syndrome. The treatment I received was in no way
therapeutic for my diagnosis. On the worst day, I was given a forced
injection of a powerful chemical restraint, Haldol, while 6 people
brutally held me down on the ground..."

Montel
Williams Show: Samantha Monroe attended Straight, Inc. from
1981-1983 - "... Samantha spent the next two years of
her life surviving Straight. She was beaten, starved, and denied
toilet privileges for days on end. She describes her “humble pants,”
a punishment that forced her to wear the same pants for six weeks at
a time. Because she was allowed just one shower a week, the pants
often filled with feces, urine and menstrual blood..."

Declaration of Rachel Hope Roberts: "I was scared and
I dropped to my knees, there was no strength in my body. I then had
to remove my pants and I was given a shot in the butt of Haldol.... I’ve seen the
effects of Haldol on others. One friend at PCS had a muscle spasm
and was unable to move her neck; another one who was unable to keep
her tongue in her mouth because it was so swollen. She just kept
drooling. It gave some of the girls’ lazy eyes that just sit there
at the bottom of the eye and go nowhere...."

SUMMARY OF ABUSE SUFFERED BY MY CHILD: Assault, battery, hair pulled,
restrained against her will, drugged with an overdose of Haldol
which caused her to black out and wake to blindness, facial
paralysis and pain, drooling and lethargy for three days. Imprisoned
and forced to sit in structure (staring strait ahead) for up to 5
hours. Woke to vaginal bleeding and wet pants on the morning after
Haldol injection. CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATED: Freedom of speech, religion
right to safe and humane treatment, prevented from
writing grievances and punished for suggesting that others write
grievances.
Punished with isolation for venting about her abuse and mistreatment
in a group therapy session on December 13.
