Some Civil Suits and Criminal Cases Against Straight, Inc. and Straight-descendent programs

(c) 5-27-2002 by Wesley M. Fager

.
Straight makes it a point to try to get from its young students their deepest, darkest secret.  If someone knew your deepest, darkest secret would you sue him?  In spite of the high pressure coaxed confessions stated in one's own handwriting from MI's, COCs and FOS lists; in spite of the fact that Straight has parents sign a fine print statement that they will not sue regardless what happens in Straight;  in spite of the fact that Straight goes to great lengths to limit potential witnesses to the daily abuses; despite the fact that Straight makes old comers become part of the abuse in order to progress;  in spite of the fact that Straight can call in former White House Drug Czar Robert DuPont time after time to testify in its behalf;  despite the fact that many judges have made pro-Straight stands. . .  In spite of all this there have been many, MANY criminal charges and civil suits against Straight.  Just as Straight has successfully sued many parents for money owed who stopped payment having learned of  the abuse.

The same had happened in 1973 at the St Pete Seed with Roger Young, then to Jeff Bourgholtzer whose dad became a founding board member of Straight (Leonard Lubin, ACLU represented both boys), The same thing happened to a 16 year old girl who had been abducted from Saint Petersburg Catholic High School into The Seed with her mother's consent.  All forced to The Seed in 1973, made the newspapers but James T.

The fact is there are so many suits involving the Straights that it is almost impossible to track them all. We have attempted to cite many of these cases, but ran out of time trying to discover and cite them all. For example, we do not even get into the numerous cases that Salt Lake City attorney Mike Mohrman was approached about in the case of Kids of Salt Lake City.

Richard and Susan Ferris were among the 80 families sued by Straight - Saint Petersburg in one 10 month period. Straight sued them for $1,089. Mrs. Ferris says that her son had been seduced by his host mother so she refused to pay, but later settled with Straight anyway just to make them go away. Straight sued Patricia Neumann of Lake Alfred but Mrs. Neumann filed a court document stating that she had been coerced by Straight and that the coercion included being told her son would "die without Straight." Robert and Veronica McCallion of St. Petersburg wrote in a court document that Straight was "unprincipled" and "had no intention of living up to their promise of treatment and rehabilitation" Darlene Licate of Spring Hill said her daughter had been stripped-searched and verbally abused. "I don't pay for abuse," she said.

The following table is from the official web site from the Pinellas County Sixth Circuit Court. It shows lawsuits where Straight - St. Pete was the plaintiff. Did Straight have a bunch of bums for parents or were they middle class white parents who like Darlene Licate say they won't pay for abuse?

Straight - St. Pete is not the only treatment camp to use the courts to get its money. Springfield, Virginia sued too. Here are some defendants and the judgments Fairfax County judges awarded to Straight:

  • Howard Shawell of Pottstown, PA ordered to pay $10,527.42
  • Sandra Woodward of Pikesville, MD ordered to pay $9,268.55
  • Kathleen Riffle of Burtonsville, MD ordered to pay $16,120.22
  • Robert and Glenita Jones of Fort Washington, MD sued for $8,669.06
  • Charles and Mary Kurtinitis of Bowie, MD ordered to pay $7,424.52
  • Susan Silk of Wilmington, DE ordered to pay $12,521.05
  • Marilyn Jane Carson of Baltimore, MD
  • Donald Rao of Washington, DC sued for $7355.00
  • Stella Moore
  • Sandra Smith case L107171
  • Charles Tolbert of Fairfax, Virginia,
  • Alvin and Donna Sprague
  • Calvin and Elmire Johnson
  • Rosalyn Walker
  • Charles Howard

And there are many others. Interestingly Fairfax Food Services & Caterers (In Step Corporation) was one that sued Straight. They were awarded $17,177.72 for food they had supplied plus interest, but Straight avoided collections until the judgment was eventually "discontinued and stricken" by the Fairfax County Courts.

Look at Charles Tolbert one of those who was sued by Straight. theStraightsDotCom editor Wes Fager personally witnessed Charles Tolbert at a Friday night Mic Talk trying to address his son but was repeatedly interrupted, corrected and ridiculed by the 16 year old psychiatric synamaster on how to address his own son across the picket line. Chuck Tolbert was so humiliated that left compound. His common-law wife of over 10 years was forbidden from the camp grounds because she was living in sin. Mr. Fager writes, "Charles Tolbert is a truly fine man and I invited him over to diner one night. But even though he had been cleared to be a Straight parent with a boy and a girl in the program, they denied my request to have him over because they had character issues with him." Eventually they broke his son's arm but did not let him see a doctor until the next day (click on Virginia Department of Mental Health's inspection findings on Mr. Tolbert's son # 90010). And so he took both his kids out. Would you pay them? Straight sued him for their money!

Growing Together is a Sembler-based synanon in Lake Worth, Florida. Here are some Florida parents they have sued:

  • Charles A. Parnell of Palm Beach Gardens
  • Janet Knauss of West Palm Beach
  • Ellie Madison of Fort Lauderdale
  • Janice McIntyre of Singer Island
  • Michael and Janice Peterson of Palm Beach Gardens
  • Janette Thorin of Lake Worth

Sembler's companies, a long history of civil suits. Thankfully most of us will be involved in, at most, one or two civil suits in our lifetime. Many of us will never be involved in a law suit. But Straight founder Melvin Sembler and his clan seem to make political contributions together and use the court system as just a part of doing business. Melvin Sembler and his myriad of family enterprises and businesses have a history of going to the courts to sue (and of being sued) as shown next. (Note: some suits may be listed more than once under different Sembler plaintiffs or defendants.) [Source: the official web site for the clerk of the Pinellas County Sixth Circuit Court.]
