Liam-
Kari got a hold of me & made mention that you needed people to interview that went to CEDU. I attended from 1992-1994. I came home tonight to watch the clips on your website and it instantly sent chills down my spine. The stories I saw, faces I recognized from attending at the same time. Though you try to explain CEDU to people you just struggle time and time again to make people understand what you went through. I have many a funny, sick & twisted story, to share with you if you are interested. Feel free to contact me. My hat is off to you to make a documentary of this, what we experienced as children and still stays with us through adulthood.

Liam, thank you for this work. I taught at a CEDU/RMA school in Montana. The school was created after CEDU/RMA closed in Bonners Ferry, Idaho. By the way, I use the word teach lightly and with a great deal of irony. I quit after two years and three pay raises because I could not bear to be part of such a corruptive, manipulative “society.” I have been active with my state government supporting bills that would regulate and, ultimately, close such schools. Please contact me if there is anything I can do. Thank you.

Wow!!! First off I agree with Thalia (who probably doesn’t remember me lol). And I have not seen the inside of the house since 99 when I went with Lyndi to visit, and so happens Dennis was working that night. BTW if you read this Dennis, thanks for the Drumming tips! But… I am just now at 30 realizing that Cedu has damaged me in, and I ‘m just now trying to fix it.

You know this is very interesting stuff. I went to Mount Bachelor Academy for a year and a half, which was created by the top 6 administrators from CEDU after it got shut down, and listening to these people is like they went to MBA. Everything is the exact same stuff. Maybe somebody should do a documentary on that place, since they are getting investigated by the state currently, just a thought.

Nothing we did was really that extreme at BCA… At most we hugged, sat side-by-side on a couch, maybe rested our heads on someone else.

Liam thanks for these videos. In Lexington KY in 1987, I was a prisoner of a”rehab” that was eerily similar called Possibilities Unlimited. All of the sexually inappropriate things you describe such as single gender raps and group raps, where confessions of sexual activity were encouraged, were used to humiliate us. Absolutely no thereputic value whatsoever.
