I forgot to say thank you to you too Yunker for trying to help me understand.

The Independent Historical Abuse Response Team (IHART) has named its second investigative team. This team will investigate historic reports of child abuse at NTM’s school at Tambo, Bolivia.

Over the next few weeks the team will be receiving information and orientation, and meeting with each other. The team will begin contacting survivors the week of January 1, 2012.

The team members are:

Gregory K. Hannah: Retired postal inspector, with more than 32 years in federal law enforcement with the Postal Inspection Service. He has experience in investigating crimes such as homicides, armed robberies, assaults, theft and embezzlements and worker’s compensation fraud. He served on special assignment with the Office of Special Counsel – Waco, investigating government conduct surrounding the tragic events at the Davidian Compound in Waco, Texas. Greg also supervised The Inspection Service Emergency Response Team at Detroit for more than 15 years. He supervised teams of investigating inspectors for more than 20 years and served as the assistant inspector in charge at Detroit for the last two years. He has experience in criminal trials, affidavit preparation and review, evidence handling, conducting interviews and report writing. Mr. Hannah has been named lead investigator. He can be contacted at greghannah2@gmail.com.

Jeff Greenwood: Private investigator with 15 years experience locating missing persons, runaways and witnesses, and conducting in-depth interviews. He has extensive experience related to liability and workman’s compensation claims, including many claims exceeding $1 million, and has worked with nearly every major insurance company in the country as well as many Fortune 500 companies. Prior to becoming a private investigator he owned an unrelated business in Connecticut for 18 years that designed equipment for the automotive industry.

Kent Schoonover: Detective for the Hales Corners, Wisconsin, Police Department. He has been an officer since 1977 and has been the detective for Hales Corners for the past 14-plus years. When he investigates his focus is on the victim and what he can do for the victim. He has a reputation for being very through in his investigations.

A fourth investigator is expected to be assigned soon, and an additional release will be made when that takes place.

If you have any questions or reports in regard to Tambo or any other NTM-related schools please contact Pat Hendrix at pat.mkguardian@gmail.com.

Is this announced online somewhere? How did you find out?

This was in NTM eNews which is sent out to NTM members. It is supposed to be for members only.

Information in eNews is for NTM members only. Please do not forward any edition of eNews or any portion of eNews, unless an item specifically says you may.

I used to post stuff from eNews on here but then they came out with this so I stopped posting. I don't care if other people post that's their business. I'm not sure but I think part of the reason is because of privacy issues where they don't want everyone having access to a persons personal information.

the above statement from Pat was posted by permission. Pat asked me to post it on the forum

It would be better if NTM were completely open and honest with their information. They have had no hesitation about passing private infomation about my family all over the place to suit their ends in the past.

On the interesting side of life "IHART" has a totally different meaning downunder the significance will have a lot of New Zealander rolling in the aisles. Am busy will spill the beans on it some other time.

To Tambo MK and others who endured any kind of abuse: There were those of us on staff during that period who were also left in the dark. While I was aware of the one single teacher having sex with a h.s. boy at the time of her dismissal, most of us on staff were left out of the loop. Most of it was kept hush-hush. We only learned of some situations a couple of years later, and then, only by 2nd or 3rd hand. May God bring healing to you all.

Well, Bemused, that's exactly where I am. I did not have a clue. About the one single teacher yes, but only when she was being dismssed. Whether you can understand it or not, there were those of us who were not in the inner circle and were unaware of what was going on. Sometimes, we heard from MKs or former MKs. When the two men, who have previously been mentioned, were dismissed, the Field Committee met with the staff to announce that the one in particular was being dismissed, but they never said why. And we were pretty much told not to ask. The other happened while he was on furlough, and it was announced in the monthly field letter that the family would not be returning due to a sin issue. I was hesitatant to even post on this forum. Maybe now you can understand why. I am not, nor was I then, the enemy. Those of us who did not go along with status quo, were dismissed ourselves or left voluntarily to avoid what was then perceived to be the shame of being dismissed from NTM. It was the control and manipulation that leadership held over those of us who were independent thinkers.
