I was in Straight's Northern Virginia camp as a parent from 10/89 to 2/90. My son Bill got pretty banged-up there. I am also researching abuses at that Clockwork Orange camp as well as at all Straight camps. I don't personally remember Bradley Martin or his parents, but I learned of his subsequent problems from Scott and Buck Beatty of Lewisburg, Pa. Over a year ago I wrote a 20 page letter to his appeal team in Philadelphia explaining the extenuating circumstances potentially brought on because of the severe child abuses he possibly received at Straight-NOVA. I have contacts with several people who were in the camp during the time-frame you mention. I'll talk to you more in an eMail.
