Mitt Romney's Money Man is a serial child abuser (

Mel Sembler's Penis Pump, Privacy Claim Headed To Trial

http://www.northcountrygazette.org/articles/111706Pumpgate.html

Mel Sembler is Mitt Romney's campaign finance minister. He's also worked for Joe Lieberman and other republicans

Do they give a shit where their money comes from?

In a word, NO

A little about Mel http://thestraights.com/melsembler/

As a proud American, I find Melvin Sembler, our ambassador to Italy, and his wife, Betty, to be profound embarrassments. It is important that their advice on the drug war and especially on drug treatment be ignored. Indeed, it might be best if Italians listened to what this powerful couple had to say about drugs - and then followed policies in precisely the opposite direction. ~Arnold Trebach, Professor Emeritus of Law at American University

Nice job of slander...

Everything is a matter of public record. What slander?

They run very close to really performing psychic murder. ~Marge Robertson, executive director of the Cincinnati Chapter of the ACLU, speaking of Straight, Inc., from Cincinnati Post

According to sworn testimony, Straight often left restrained group members sitting in their own urine, feces or vomit until suitable concessions were extracted. ~From Treatment, Thought Reform, and the Road to Hell by Dr. Barry Beyerstein, a leading Canadian researcher on opiates and brain functioning who operates a laboratory at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada

Straight officials have generously allowed me to witness some of their group sessions firsthand . . . I believe that Straight's treatment can be fairly compared with 'brainwashing' in prisoner-of-war camps as documented by Brown (1963, chap. 2)*. Thus, procedures that would be reprehensible in any context outside of a prisoner-of-war camp are considered acceptable 'treatment' in the case of drug addiction. ~Dr. Bruce K. Alexander of Simon Fraser University in Peaceful Measures: Canada's Way Out of the 'War on Drugs', p. 75

The 500 page, 1983 Gardner Report substantiated massive incidences of child abuse at Straight-Sarasota which included affidavits given to the States Attorney that children had been forced to clean toilets with their bare hands! The Dale Report of 1978 substantiated that child abuse was occurring at Straight almost as soon as it had opened

Straight is about stripping a child down of all self respect and then trying to build him back up in a desirable image hoping that you won't drive him over the edge along the way. Animal trainers and contemporary psychologist call this behavior modification. Cult awareness specialists and military intelligence officers call it Chinese thought reform. The Communist Chinese themselves call it re-education; Straight calls it re-acculturation. But most people call it just plain ole brainwashing. In his seminal book on brainwashing Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism: A Study of "Brainwashing" in China psychiatrist Robert J. Lifton, Jr. warns of the dangers of driving a person to suicide by severely depriving and depressing him. He writes:
Some prisoners may be brought by their severe anxiety and depression to the point of suicidal preoccupations and attempts. Dr. Vincent recounted: 'They scolded me in a nasty way . . .It was so utterly hopeless. For six weeks I did nothing but think how I might kill myself.'

There are hundreds of such quotes, and, Straight was sued successfully many times

Soon enough, Straight’s tactics caught up to it in the courts, if not with its political cheerleaders. A college student won a false imprisonment claim of $220,000 in 1983, and another claim cost Straight, Inc. $721,000 in 1990. A Straight, Inc. spin-off called “Kids of North Jersey” settled a $4.5 million abuse claim in 2000. Straight chapters across the country began to shut down, culminating with the last branch in Atlanta closing in 1993.

Mel Sembler is a serial child abuser. Mitt Romney's Bain Capital owns WWASPS, another such program

http://wwaspdiaries.com/2011/10/07/the-mitt-romney-troubled-teen-connection/

Romney’s national finance co-chair is Mel Sembler, the founder of Straight Inc. Straight Inc operated from 1976 until 1993 and ran nine programs in seven states. As noted in Maia Szalavitz’ 2007 article, “At all of Straight’s facilities, state investigators and/or civil lawsuits documented scores of abuses including teens being beaten, deprived of food and sleep for days, restrained by fellow youth for hours, bound, sexually humiliated, abused and spat upon. According to the L.A. Times, California investigators said that at Straight teens were “subjected to unusual punishment, infliction of pain, humiliation, intimidation, ridicule, coercion, threats, mental abuse… and interference with daily living functions such as eating, sleeping and toileting.”

You say that the individual was a serial child abuser when it was the company/program. Do you have any direct proof that Mel Sembler actually abused a child much less repeatedly?

It's all in the court papers. Do you feel like reading 100,000 pages of briefs?

This isn't a political attack. The program I was in was supported by Democrats in the state of Maine. https://www.rollitup.org/inspired-art/503901-life-gone-awry-my-story.html

I'm not trying to torpedo Romney because of his party. I want party members from both sides to demand more from their candidates

These are a small percentage of the children who have died in programs. Elan graduated 39 suicides. Straight inc graduated 87.

They inspired me to write my book

And


To those children we have unintentionally missed. May they all rest is peace.

I guess its hard for people to see the truth when they're already brainwashed, I have this issue quite frequently with ignorant people. I give you the info research it for yourself, but don't say its bs when you don't know sh!t.

That's some sick shit!!!!

These kind of programs still exist. They open in countries that have no regulation and the U.S. sends kids to them.

In 1978 the government prosecuted Charles Diedrich and Synanon, the pilot program for this model, and they called it abuse, and brainwashing. They brought in expert witnesses who testified to that. Meanwhile, they paid Sembler and others to do it to children in Maine, Virginia and Florida.

Mel and his wife abused many children in Florida and the rest of the country . I have read many accounts from survivors of Straight,AARC,KHK, and the Kids programs ( Kids of north Jersey was fucked up). Some where Mel his wife Betty, Miller Newton and his wife Ruth were directly involved. The name Lulu comes to mind. Just look up Straight, beltlooping,marathoning, Motivating, Phase 1

At 1:00 you can watch a group of kids "Motivating" in this CBS report
