I was at lra for over 3 years 2004 to 2007. And not only was I on a no talking restriction for over a year but was accused of numerous things I never did I was thrown in a room of 3 walls no able to go to school I was started at 24 hrs a day by a devo staff member. Wen my mother died I was put on a suicide watch and had to be escorted to my mother's funeral and was only allowed to attend 2 hours of my mother's memorial with the staff next to me through out the whole service which was in California we flew back 2 hours later for ne to go straight back to a suicide watch for weeks. Yea I definitely honestly would do LRA again but theres definitely immorally things that happened at LRA

The reason I signed this six years ago is because my son was at Logan River Academy and I had first hand experience dealing with the personnel. I personally was deceived whenever I visited. I was unaware he would be housed with felons, some of whom had committed serious crimes injurious to their fellow humans. At one point a fellow student took advantage of him, yet my son was the person held accountable, punished in isolation, and reviled by others. The guilty person (female) was allowed back into the general “student” population. After this incident (in which outside police were involved) we got our son the h*ll out of there ASAP, because it was clear there was some politics going on that we had no knowledge of. He is fine now - a productive member of society, close to and supported by his family and mostly happy. It took some intense therapy time, however, to get to this point. LRA sucked for us.

The charges against Marty Gottesfeld as seen within the context of WHY he did what he did are inexcusably harsh. His treatment is inexcusably harsh. The people who committed the true crimes are running around free. This needs to be fixed.

I was a patient here. I am here to say that most staff are terrible. One or two staff were okay. But 95% of them are not good. I remember one day, they dragged me across concrete just to lock me up in a dorm with all the sick or violent kids. And those violent kids did have appropriate reasons to be upset. LRA is abusive and mean. #shutdownloganriver

I felt lost, I felt trapped there. They didn't teach me anything, Worst time of my life. My parents are still paying for this and it's been 10 years. One time I accidentally farted and received devo hours. I was convinced they were going to extend my stay due to this infraction of accidental flatulents. Logan river needs to be shut down, or at the very least Devo needs to be removed.

The solitary confinement abuse needs to come to a stop. They brainwash you and I do believe that there was sexual abuse to others during my stay.

It is the right thing to do. This man is a hero, not a criminal. What happened to the America that had compassion and understanding for those who needed help. We have become a country of selfish uncaring individuals, who care only for the bottom line. It is shameful, it is heartbreaking. No one should have to suffer this way. Where is the humanity this country was noted for? Where is the compassion for those who suffer injustice?
