#OpBridgewater - Origin of the Five Points

The concept referred to as the Five Points pertain to sections of information that were produced during, and as the result of, the process of discovery.   At the first level of understanding, reference material for four of them can be found in the four required readings.  The required readings contain the basic documentation necessary to confidently present the basic facts of the case.

1. Of all the documents, the Summary Judgement is the last word for this case.

2. The First letter to President Emeritus Dana Mohler-Faria is the formal complaint that starts the case in principle.

3. The Waiver of Liability is Mr. Mohler-Faria's answer to my first letter, and the document that led to the lawsuit against Dr. Grace Seibert-Larke.

4. The last letter to President Emeritus Dana Mohler-Faria before the lawsuit was filed in the state of Massachusetts.

#OpBridgewater - In The Beginning

Part Three

A Campus Policy (Revisited) During the time I was still a student at Bridgewater State College, the Dean of Student Affairs said campus policy, "guides the reinstatement process". The first paragraph stated: A student may be required to seek professional help if physical and psychological health problems place that student's life in potential danger; impair that his/her ability to maintain an academic program; or when his/her behavior is a serious disruption to others. That kind of thing works when the doctors actually do their jobs and examine their patients.

However, on April 15, 2004, no doctor examined me, I was never brought before a judge--both of which are required by Massachusetts state law--and I was still removed from campus in handcuffs.   Furthermore, at every opportunity Dr. Grace Siebert-Larke avoided contact with me, and during the entire sordid episode, the doctor continually made assertions about my character and my life that were not true. Worse yet, as a hospitalized student I got no advocacy from the Counseling Center staff, who let me languish in the psych ward at Brockton Hospital past the time allowed by the state of Massachusetts (I got six days, but the state limit at the time was four days).

Part One

On April 15, 2004, I was involuntarily committed at the request of Dr. Grace Siebert-Larke.  At the time she was Head of the Counseling Center on the campus of Bridgewater State College (now Bridgewater State University) in Bridgewater, Massachusetts. I was not examined by her.

As the result of the actions taken against me by Dr. Siebert-Larke and other members of the Counseling Center, in an unprovoked and unwarranted attack on my civil rights, I was escorted from my class at the Bridgewater State College library by law enforcement officers of Bridgewater State College Campus Police, led by Chief David Tillinghast.  

In an unnecessary display of force authorized by the Counseling Center, I was handcuffed, and then questioned by Chief Tillinghast.  After my person was searched, I was escorted off campus and transported to the psychiatric ward at Brockton Hospital without a hearing before a judge.

These humiliating events took place in spite of the fact that I had an unblemished record as a student at Massachusetts colleges, no record of violent crime anywhere in twenty-two years of civilian life, and not so much as a traffic ticket in the state of Massachusetts.
