A request was made to Dr. Riddile earlier this year to speak out against the allegedly abusive treatment of children in a drug treatment program called Kids Helping Kids in Milford OH.

Kids Helping Kids uses the same form of “therapy” as did STRAIGHT, INC. Dr. Riddile was the Executive Director of STRAIGHT, INC. in VA. He held other executive positions within that organization for several years. Additionally, he was directly responsible for the proliferation of STRAIGHT INC in at least 3 cities in this country.

As a Principal, it is his duty to report child abuse. He has stated that he will not speak about this abuse, due to his position as a county/state employee and that he has no knowledge of the KHK program. He is an expert in the field of widespread systematic abusive treatment of adolescents and young adults. He personally knows people who were involved with KHK.

This abuse of children in the name of treatment needs to stop. It should be Dr. Riddile’s duty to help stop this ongoing tragedy.
