Nicole Barrett at Cedar Breaks Academy

This testimony was found in another blog on blogspot. All rights goes to the author Nicole Barrett

When I was 17, I was sent away against my will to a “residential treatment center/behavior modification program”. I was forcefully taken (because I did not comply) by two strangers (“transport team”) and was driven from New Jersey to Utah, only stopping a few times to use the restroom. I feel as if the majority of today’s society is unaware of all of the torture, brainwashing, and outright child abuse that occurs across the nation everyday. Outsiders to these programs are outright blinded and completely unaware of what is truly happening in these “programs”. I feel that if more public awareness existed in regards to this abuse, more lives would be salvaged from this conspiracy and mistreatment. Cedar Breaks Academy was eventually shut down. However, many more venues of torture such as CBA exist and are created under new names each and every single day.

With it being five years after this traumatic incident, I still feel the repercussions to this day as if it had occurred yesterday. The other girls I was held against my will with who I consider my sisters also feel this way. Many of us ran into more problems post CBA than we had when we went in. What CBA considered "problems" are what most people would consider normal teenage behavior such as lying, underage drinking, and promiscuity. If that were so, the majority of my high school class would be sufficient candidates to be essentially "kidnapped" and subjected to this teen torture that continues to happen every second of everyday.

The school closed in 2009.

  1. Hey. I remember you! Im not sure how to feel because i agree. No one shines a light on this. I dont remember much of anything since then. All i did wqs argue and bicker with my sister. I never thought id smoke weed, until after that when i met a girl there (not her fault so i wont name lol but she was funny!) Who told me about her times smoking and after this whole situation, i still feel weed isnt the worst choice and it helps with dealing with the emotions and trauma from being there. They brainwashed me and made me feel wrong just because 1. I accidentally knocked over someones water 2. I spoke up when the staff were eating our candy instead of us when my grandparents sent it to us for christmas 3. Because we missed one tiny little spot during clean up. Im about to cry right now thats how stupid it was.

    How do you find someone who can help you deal with it?

    My grandparents deserve the money they got scammed out of.

    I never had sex, did drugs. Or anything aside from causing my grandparents stress because my sister and i didnt get along.

    Whoa. End vent (:
