Family Foundation School - Activism Against

Activism Against

Since 2007, Community Alliance for the Ethical Treatment of Youth (CAFETY) has conducted an ongoing campaign against the Family Foundation School. In October 2009, a local newspaper reported that CAFETY had sent a letter to residents of Delaware County, claiming abusive conditions at the school, including excerpts from former student testimonials. The letter directed residents to an anti-school website for more information about the alleged abusive conditions. Delaware County law enforcement, social services officials, and the school stated that the allegations in letter were based on past issues that had been corrected by the school. CAFETY disputes this claim, saying that its concerns about alleged abuse are based on written complaints by students who attended the school as recently as 2008. CAFETY members have also taken part in rallies in other areas of the country, where experiences at the school were addressed.
