There are Many Hot Topics and Heated Issues on my Blog and the Posts on the Chrysalis School are
certainly No Exception. These stories are
not mine, obviously, though many think I post these stories or make them up just because I have some
Vendetta against total Strangers, which is Certainly not the Case.
I am on top of
the Search Engines, I am the news to many people or at least one more source. People find my sites on many different Topics and they email me their story to be included on my Blog, also I offer the ability for others to
Write on My Blogs to get their story out there. Few people take me up on that offer, oh well I am still on top of the search engines, I am still telling their story the best I can keep up with it. And I still Encourage you to write on our blogs and tell your
Montana news to you...
I am the Messenger, the News... the New Media..
You are Welcome to
Tell your Real News.. most of the time people who are Eye Witnesses to the News, People who are Set Up or Witness Set Ups, People who have had these things happen directly to them or someone they know well.... they are the BEST source of the NEWS and not some newspapers version of Reality or some twice removed statement possibly relating tho what really Happened...
my Montana news Network is here.. though I am very busy and Cannot post on all sites daily.. I still Offer you a Voice Should you Take that Opportunity..
Today We Got More Comments on the Chrysalis School and though many pressure me to drop the Posts about the Chrysalis School, I will
Not Deny these Young Women a Voice just to Make My Life Easier.
It certainly won't STOP my Constant Online Attacks anyway so WHY in the World would I remove
the Voice of these Women to appease the Few that provide no Written Statement, no Back Story, no Facts or even Opinion for me to Consider posting.
Many want me to Remove what I have Posted About the Chrysalis School because it does not
reflect good on the school or hurts new business - the thing is these stories are VERY believable to me and it is not my job to say they are not true, but to present them to the people to decide for
themselves or for
the "Authorities" to investigate SHOULD this ever actually happen on anything in the State of MONTANA.
I have reported
HORRIBLE things to Montana CPS and well let's just say there is No Child Protective Service in MONTANA... they send it back to the town, or county to deal with and the Corruption there Covers it up and the Child is Lost in the MIX... Still I post their story..
they have a Right to Be Heard.. I am the REAL NEWS... by the REAL People.. not some book report version of a story... not even really wholly based in my Opinion ... it is Their Story... and they WILL BE HEARD.
If my Posts on the Chrysalis School are "Defamation" or can be Proven to NOT Be True and Factual... then let's take it to court - lots of them as it will take
awhile to find an Honest Court in Montana Based in Law and Fact and not on
Favoritism, Politics, Opinion and Good
Ol' Boys and Gals...
The Chrysalis School owners have not emailed me a statement, not sent me a Cease and Desist and Not sent me any Legal Litigating paperwork in attempt to Sue Me over my posts on the Chrysalis School... ... I Guess they simply want to
Scare the Parents in to Shutting up the Kids and want to Spread the word on
who they think I am and What they think my Motive is... instead of Fixing the Problem, making it right with these woman and hearing them...
Some folks seem to think that
the Solution to the Chrysalis School information I get is to Simply
Shut me Up... see if you can Stop this Investigative Blogger, Shut up this New Media News Source then it will just go away... instead of dealing with the issue . .. the problem .. hearing these woman and making it right by them... well many think the answer is in Blaming the Messenger and Simply Ignoring the Message Completely. I mean surely some completely
un-related Blogger named Crazy Crystal Cox is responsible for what goes on at the Chrysalis School and surely she is making this stuff up and if not then the girls emailing her are making it up and there you have it..
disCredit the Message Quick before it Really Is NEWS...
What Does
the Chrysalis School say when they get
Emails or Calls about my Blog... Do they say I am an Ex-Disgruntled Employee? of Course I have never Worked there...
Do they say I am a local Blogger mad about Local ... Whatever... and so I am just mad and making this stuff up... do they say well she was writing about these local Rapes last year that never really happened and well she is mad and this is her revenge... I have heard it all by now.. and the
Simplest Answer is the Best folks.. and
the Truth IS... I am a blogger,Like a Newspaper except my information tends to be a bit more Fact Based.... I don't know these women or the owners of the Chrysalis School - I had heard stories for years before I was blogging and last summer when a "Runaway" was trying to get to her parents and I heard the story first hand from the folks who picked her up ..
I simply put a post asking if anyone had opinions on the Chrysalis School or had any information on what I was hearing... and well they did... I was Chatted, Emailed, Called and sent things in the Regular Mail... so I Posted it.. NEWS... it is NEWS.. kind of like a Statement from the NEWS...but without the Deletions, Cover ups, and Fixes...
this is Not My Story... These Girls had what was very Real Experiences to them and well in the last two weeks it seems they are really talking about.... from my stats and other things I watch on my sites.. I can see that they are talking about all this...
Also I get emails from Mothers, Calls from Teachers...
What do I do .. Just Shut the Posts off and
take away their Voice based on some Version of Reality that Does not Feel right to Me? I believe these women had very real experiences, I personally do believe they were mistreated, I do believe the stories of the ball games and the "too friendly" behavior - I certainly have a right to believe what I want.. and So Do you.. So the Stories of the Chrysalis Girls will Stay on My Blog.. and may be posted on other Blogs of mine...
they have a Right to Be Heard... Period...
I sure do get sick of the Newspaper Lying, taking pieces of facts and printing them as News... many know it is not to be taken as real news ... yet the paper makes a living at it.. has No Liability or Accountability and Me who is Posting the Truth ... well I get Constant Attacks from ALL Sides...
The Truth is the TRUTH regardless of Who Believes it..Many Stand up for the owner of the Chrysalis School, however I see no one that is there all night.. for years on end come forward and say the Girls emailing and Mailing me their Story, Calling me about their Story ... they don't come forward denying the Story..
So Whatever the Truth is only the Hearts and Minds of those Involved Really Know... but for Me I could not sleep at night if I Denied these Women a Voice.. Sorry..
I won't Deny nor Ignore their Voice
just because YOU Pressure Me..
Their Life Matters,
their Truth Matters,
their Voice Matters..On that Note .. today 2 Comments Were Sent In...
HERE they are..""I too witnessed thorough
emotional abuse and neglect, not just of myself but other girls at the school. I have been considering pressing charges, however, after reviewing the Chrysalis paperwork which my mentally disabled legal guardian signed under pressure, I did not feel as if the case was worth it unless we made a class action lawsuit.
Some examples of the
horrible things these "caregivers" have done:
I went to the doctor several times for strep throat, as throughout my life I have had a very poor immune system due to several hereditary reasons. Yet every time I said I was sick, I would be questioned about the authenticity of my sickness, and had to essentially beg to be taken to the doctor.
Once I was
coughing so hard that I threw up, and fellow girls told me that I was faking it, and "counselors" backed them up. Another time we were on a 660 mile forced bike trip, and I was coughing up blood, and was accused by the owners of the boarding school of "faking it" or "doing it on purpose" so that I wouldn't have to ride for a day. I was diagnosed with bronchitis several times during my stay at Chrysalis, by doctors.
I was also forced to
run/exercise in cold conditions while having doctor-diagnosed strep throat, asthma, hay fever, and bronchitis while at the boarding school. I was forced to
lift hay and work with horses as "chores" despite the fact that it made me break out in hives, and often caused asthma attacks.
Since I have left the boarding school, I have run marathons on my own and not had any of the
lung problems I had at boarding school.
This leads me to believe that the conditions I was running in due to Chrysalis greatly influenced my health in a negative way. Kenny, who is in control of the running part of the school (5 days a week, 2-8 miles a day) has absolutely
NO QUALIFICATIONS in coaching running. Which might explain the
superfluous amounts of injuries which took place among the student population, including: shin splints, broken ankles, asthma, sprained ankles, hip problems, joint pains.
Many of these issues were dealt with similarly to my strep throat-- girls were faking it, until they were taken to the doctor and proven to be
seriously injured. One must wonder how many of these injuries
could have been prevented had they been addressed from their initial onset.
I was forced to clean the car as a chore, in freezing temperatures, multiple times because Kenny imagined I had "missed a spot" on the car.
He made me do it over and over again. I had recently tested positive for
strep throat at this time.
Another time I was picked up from an
LCHS cross country trip, and punished for doing something wrong by having my
right to eat food taken away from me for the day. Food is heavily monitored and controlled by the boarding school, and used as a form of terrorism and punishment.
The staff discriminate upon which girls are allowed what portions of food often based upon unrelated bias, or on their weight. Often the
boarding school owners would let someone small and petite such as myself eat multiple portions of food, yet another girl who perhaps weighed more or
they were feeling angry towards would only be allowed one portion.
Chrysalis has also indirectly
spied into former Chrysalis girls private facebook accounts. In one of these instances, they emailed the girl's parents in response to her private account information, and keep in mind this is AFTER she had left the school. Why would they do such a thing? Completely inappropriate and seemingly of malicious intent.

"" When I left the boarding school due to
continued abuse combined with medical reasons,
Mary and Kenny attempted to manipulate my mother into making me stay. My mother, as I stated before, is extremely mentally impaired, heavily medicated, and non-confrontational. Yet even she told them, "If she isn't fixed by now, she never will be, as you guys
obviously aren't doing your job." And then Kenny essentially told me that I was a
sneaky little bitch and would never get anywhere in life. How professional.
They also
demonized me after I left the school. They told all of the girls
not to talk to me, and let them
spread rumors about me (and other girls) after we had left.
They told community members private information.
They attempted to get me fired from my job, to prevent me from being able to rent, and to
tarnish my reputation. How can they be said to have the
girls' best interests in mind if they turn against us as soon as we stop paying them?
Many of the girls who have "graduated" the boarding school are doing just as poorly as before they went into the school,
if not worse.
This is not always the case; some girls have gone on to flourish. But I wonder if it is more related to the girl's personality as opposed to the influence Chrysalis has had upon them.
I have seen an equal number of those who RAN AWAY from the boarding school, or left early, succeed as I have seen those who were deemed
"ready for the real world" by Mary and Kenny.
At the very least, I feel that schools such as this should be under
supervision and control of an independent, third party panelist of therapists, rights activists, and parents as opposed to letting them
ruin any more young girls.
