----- Original Message ----- [FEEDBACK]
From: [Sender Removed to Protect Anonymity]
Sent: Friday, November 11, 2011 7:01 AM
Subject: Re: The Hyde School Staff List Update
I have some more information, but this is just background.
We have a punishment system in place here that may seem very abusive to
some, but simple to others. It is based on a code of ethics: Sex Ethic,
Drug Ethic, Attitude, Lying, Stealing, Brother's Keeper (snitching), and
Becoming of a Student. When a student violates one of these Ethics, they
go to the Deans (Tom Bragg, Kevin Folan, Mike Aronski, Casey Turner, and
Joshua Welch) to see what the punishment should be. for very minor
breaks in ethics, which include swearing at a teacher, or staying up
passed lights out, they hand out 5:30s. a 5:30 is when you wake up at
5;30 am and go do a workout (pushups, sprints, whatever the faculty
member running it feels like making you do) for one hour until regular
wake up at 6:30. Times for 5:30s change depending if we have late sleep
in or normal wake up. Then, for cases slightly bigger than that, they
give Sunday Work Projects or SWPs. On an SWP you have to wake up for the
5:30, then go do manual labor or work in the kitchen until breakfast, do
more labor all day long until dinner, and after that they might have you
do a study hall for the rest of the night. Occasionally SWPs go off
campus to do some work on a farm or other things. In very bad cases,
such as sex ethic, stealing, lying or Brothers keeper, and sometimes
attitude if the Dean isn't in the best mood, they will put you on 2-4
(Going out to Work.) It is called 2-4 because you're usually on for 2 to
4 days, sometimes more if you tick off the teachers. The Dean's call it
work crew. Every day that you are on 2-4, you have to wake up, do a
5:30, then work until breakfast, after breakfast, work until dinner, and
then a study hall for the rest of the night. Similar to SWP. Some of the
work included is raking leaves, hauling metal, and chopping wood in the
fall, shoveling snow in the winter, and doing field work in the spring.
Working in the kitchen is a year round option. In extreme cases, they
might send you to outpost, which is Hyde's version of wilderness. In
outpost, you go with a teacher or someone and spend a few days in the
woods, trying to "learn about yourself" I don't have that many details
because I have personally never been but I have been told it isn't the
most pleasant thing.
Other than the Ethics system, the also have kids do Lunch and Dinner
crew once a week, and every few weeks have breakfast crew. For lunch and
dinner crews, they split kids up into their teams and each day of the
week have a different sports team do work in the kitchen after meals.
For breakfast crew, kids have to go 15 minutes early to breakfast, set
everything up for the day and then do the same thing as lunch and dinner
crews, except Breakfast crews are split up as the floors for the Dorm
Buildings.
Thank You for all of this, and Im glad I can help

The overall concerns regarding the above report from a recent student of The
Hyde School are suspected labor law violations and the use of "work/labor"
as a punishment/disciplinary measure. HEAL would advise students and
families to report possible labor law violations to the Maine Department of
Labor. (http://www.maine.gov/labor/)
Describe the work provided, whether on-site or for a neighboring farm or
business and what, if any, compensation you received for your labor.
If The Hyde School is violating labor laws, the Maine Department of Labor is
the resource that should be contacted to request an investigation.
Also, work should be a rewarding experience and should not be used as a
punishment. To use work/labor as a punishment conditions youth to hate
and dislike work and see it as a punishment or mark against their character
if they must work. This is contrary to creating a strong work ethic in
which an individual feels work earns them self-worth, self-esteem,
self-respect, and an honest living. The excesses of Hyde's use of work
as their primary form of punishment is a serious concern. |
Survivor Statement (Goes
with video at top of page.) |
THE TRUTH:
All segregated congregate care providers, including those on
our watch-list, are welcome to contact us to correct any information or
provide additional data that may assist with delivering the whole truth to the
public. The HEAL Mission of COPE (HEAL) found in many cases where this
offer has been abused or resulted in revealing additional basis for our
concerns. For some examples see
feedback. Now, we are willing to look at the facts and may have questions
or require documentation backing up any claims. We do verify licensing,
academic backgrounds, and other qualifications when investigating and
researching programs on our watch-lis/enrolled in the Conversion Program to
assist consumers seeking additional information on such programs or victims
requiring assistance with getting corroborating evidence of their claims. We
do that in order to make sure the information we provide is accurate and
verified and cite our sources. In the event any information we've posted is
in error, we're happy to make a correction.
HEAL does not support segregated congregate care for many
reasons which include that many such facilities are abusive, exploitative,
fraudulent, and lack effective oversight often as a result of fraudulent
misrepresentation coupled with the ignorance of those seeking to enroll loved
ones in such facilities, programs, schools, or centers without a valid court
order and involuntarily. In the United States such involuntary
placements done without a court order are apparently illegal as they either
violate the Americans with Disabilities Act community integration requirement
or due process rights of those involuntarily placed. Now, in regards to
parents, in the United States parents have the right to waive their own
rights, but, not the rights of their minor children. See
https://www.cope.church/legalarguments.htm for more information. Now,
most facilities on our watch list include waivers, indemnity clauses, and
sworn statements legal guardians must sign assuring the program that the parents/legal
guardians have
the right to make the placement involuntarily and without due process in a
segregated congregate care environment, however, California and federal
prosecutors as well as settled law appears to suggest that is not the case.
In fact, in the David Taylor case found at
https://www.cope.church/provocases.htm , Taylor sued Provo Canyon School
and his mother as co-defendants. His mother was found liable for 75% of
the damages awarded to Taylor as a result of multiple complaints including
false imprisonment, while the program was found only 25% liable because the
mother owed a duty of due diligence to investigate anyone to which she would
entrust care of her child and she failed to do so.
Now, HEAL
opposes segregated congregate care and we find most placements are happening
illegally in the USA which if the youth understood their rights would result
in unfortunate outcomes for the parents, particularly when they don't exercise
good judgment and support the fraud and abuse rather than their own children
when they need remedy and justice. And, HEAL supports all victims of
fraud and abuse in seeking remedies at law for any crimes or torts committed
against them. And, that's true whether or not the program or victims are
in the USA.
HEAL has a 5 point argument against segregated
congregate care we'd like you to consider:
a. Segregated care is
unconstitutional and a civil rights violation. It is only permissible if a
person is unable to survive independent of an institutional environment. For
more on this, watch the HEAL Report at
https://youtu.be/C4NzhZc4P0A. Or, see:
http://www.ada.gov/olmstead/ which
includes in part: "United States v. Florida – 1:12-cv-60460 – (S.D. Fla.)
– On April 7, 2016, the United States filed an Opposition to the State of
Florida’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment. In the Motion, the State had
asked the Court to rule, on a variety of grounds, that the United States could
not recover damages for unnecessarily institutionalized children to whom the
State had been deliberately indifferent."
b. Institutionalization is
always dehumanizing and coercive. Institutionalization always harms the
institutionalized and deprives them of protected civil rights. Dr. David
Straker, Psychiatry Professor at Columbia University's School of Medicine (Ivy
League) explains this in detail at
http://changingminds.org/disciplines/sociology/articles/institutionalization.htm.
"Many institutions, from prisons to monasteries to asylums, deliberately want
to control and manage their inmates such that they conform and do not cause
problems. Even in less harsh environments, many of the institutionalization
methods may be found, albeit in more moderated form (although the
psychological effect can be equally devastating)." (See website linked in
this paragraph for more info.)
c. Institutionalization is not in the
best interest of children. Institutions are not ever better for a child than
living with a loving family. Source:
http://www.unicef.org/cambodia/12681_23295.html
d. Reform
schools, residential treatment programs, and other segregated congregate care
settings have been shown to be ineffective and harmful. Best source on this
currently is:
https://www.acgov.org/probation/documents/EndoftheReformSchoolbyVinny.doc
e. Boarding Schools, even the "good ones", result in a form of social
death, isolation, and cause both anxiety and depression. Therefore, it is
clearly not in the best interest of the youth subjected to those
environments. Sources:
http://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/jun/08/boarding-school-syndrome-joy-schaverien-review
and
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/secondaryeducation/11662001/The-truth-about-boarding-school-syndrome.html
Beyond the above arguments against segregated congregate care, we have
reports from the NIH, Surgeon General, Yale University Studies, and much more
showing the methodologies of behavior modification are damaging, harmful, and
ineffective. You can request these documents via
e-mail. In addition, for such programs offering academic services or
claiming to offer diplomas, certifications, or the like, it is important to
check to see if it is a diploma mill with no accredited academic services.
Please see article: "Avoiding
Scams: What You Need To Know" for important information on how to avoid
education/training scams.
If you'd like to see what HEAL suggests
rather than segregated congregate care (i.e. committing a crime or tort
against your child if done against their will without a court order), please
see articles: "Fix Your
Family, Help Your Teen" and "Emancipation
Guide".

12/16/20: Conversion Program Progress Report:
The Hyde School |
REPORTING GUIDE FOR VICTIMS, SURVIVORS, AND WHISTLEBLOWERS:
In Connecticut, the criminal statutes of limitation are 1
year on misdemeanors, 5 years on most felonies, and no statute of
limitations on more serious felonies including rape, murder and
kidnapping.
For civil suits in Connecticut, the statute of limitations is 2
years. In Maine, the criminal statutes of limitation are 3
years on misdemeanors, 6 years on most felonies, and there is no
statute of limitations on murder nor the rape of a minor under
age 16 at time of offense. For civil suits in Maine, the
statute of limitations is 6 years. In New York, the
criminal statutes of limitation are 2 years on misdemeanors, 5
years on most felonies, and no statute of limitations for the
crimes of rape and murder. For civil suits in New York,
the statute of limitations is 3 years. Here are your options: 1. Report
crimes such as fraud, assault, battery, false imprisonment, labor trafficking, and
child abuse to law enforcement in Connecticut, Maine, and/or New
York. You can call the Bath, ME Police at
(207) 443-5563, New Haven, CT Police at
(203) 946-6316, or Bronx, NY Police at
(718) 402-2270 to inquire about filing an official
complaint which may provide the probable cause needed to get a
warrant for investigation and/or prosecution.
2. File a consumer complaint with your home state's
attorney general against The Hyde School (Hyde) and include your
request for compensation for any harm done to you. If your home
state is Connecticut or you'd like to file with the Connecticut State
Attorney General as a non-resident, here is that link:
https://portal.ct.gov/DCP/Complaint-Center/Consumers---Complaint-Center
If your home state is Maine or you'd like to file with the Maine
State Attorney General as a non-resident, here is that link:
https://www.maine.gov/ag/consumer/complaints/
And, if your home state is New York or you'd like to file with
the New York State Attorney General as a non-resident, here is
that link:
https://ag.ny.gov/consumer-frauds/Filing-a-Consumer-Complaint 3. If you do not wish to file a consumer complaint, you can contact a
private personal injury attorney and look into suing in tort/civil court.
However, if you can't afford the retainer, you should expect to settle out of
court with a non-disclosure agreement which may bar you from speaking publicly
about the incident because you've agreed (even if with a grumbling assent) to
the terms of the settlement. 4. You may send a new e-mail to rev@cope.church with subject "Post My
Feedback" and we will post your feedback (e-mail printed to .pdf
disclosing your name and e-mail address and any information in
your e-mail with that subject) to
https://www.cope.church/feedback.htm and add a direct
link to those .pdf files to this page .
5. You
may also wish to provide a guest sermon. Guest sermons are
posted at
https://www.cope.church/sermons.htm , under Progress
Reports/Guest Sermons at
https://www.cope.church/conversion.htm where appropriate, and on
program info pages when applicable. So, one provided by
you on your program would also be placed on this page .
Guest sermons should be written into the body of an e-mail and
sent to rev@cope.church . Your first and last name will be
disclosed (contact info will not be unless you expressly request
disclosure). For sermons available on our site see
https://www.cope.church/sermons.htm (and sermon
archives linked on that page). If you have questions about
this option, please contact rev@cope.church. Please see
https://www.cope.church/givetoday.pdf to get an idea
what your sermon may be worth.
