IHART Progress Report

The Vianopolis, Brazil investigation began in May, 2011, The Bolivia and Panama investigations began in January, 2012. Following is an update on each investigation.
Brazil:
The scope of the investigation covers the fall of 1983 – summer of 1993. The investigation has ended and the team is busy writing the report and tying up loose ends.
The Recommendations Panel has been selected – more on them as we get closer to their meeting.

Bolivia:

The scope of the investigation covers 1952 – 2004 when the school was closed. The investigators have revised their student list to 1023 student names to attempt contact, which includes some parents of MKs and staff as possible witnesses/survivors. This does not include other adult staff members. Of the 1023 names: 12 are believed deceased and 96 have been interviewed and 18 have declined interview or stated they have no information to share regarding abuse.
Panama:
- Pii is currently transitioning to the 3rd and 4th phases of the investigation. Phases One and Two include a thorough document review, interviews with victims, witnesses, and any additional research necessary to move to the final phases of the case. Phase Three includes interviewing the alleged perpetrators; Phase 4 is the writing of the final report.
- Currently we are scheduling interviews with alleged perpetrators to begin in the month of June. There are a few remaining witnesses to interview, which will largely be conducted via conference call. The writing of the final report is well underway and will be completed upon the interviews of alleged perpetrators.
-Pii is currently over 75% complete in Phase 1, 90% complete in Phase 2, just beginning Phase 3, and roughly 40% complete with Phase 4.
-We project the completion of the investigation to be on schedule.

Thank you for posting this update, dbarney.

Still waiting to see this latest IHART update appear on the NTM website.

Hellooo!

Maybe they are too busy shredding the incriminating documents relating to the Scott Kennell case.

Scott who? No not one of ours, no never heard of him, you must have the wrong mission. Look he's not on our website so that proves it.

andy used to send out info to me but he left us all. then brian was doing it. now apparently no one is sending out info to mks. were it not for fandaeagles - where would we be???

We would be in the dark.

Which, I am concluding, is where most New Tribers are. And where most of the mission's supports are.

In the dark.

This is a shameful truth.

I sent an inquiry to Brad from the latest investigative group now hired by NTM. It's really hard to keep track of who exactly is in charge anymore. I asked as to the status of the Panama investigation and this was the response I received: "I am finally getting back to you to answer your question from Friday. According to NTM Policy the Survivor will receive: Field Summary Report, Statement of Findings per Survivors' Offender, Recommendations per Survivors' Offender and Action Plan. As far as time goes we are in the final stages of our report writing and we will have the information available as soon as those are finished. I do not have a definite time line. As you could imagine we have a very big task to get finished and we want to be as thorough as possible. Thanks for your patience."

I read this response and then immediately responded: "Thank you for your response. One question though, if you are an independent investigative entity, why are you following NTM policy?"

What???

And how much is all this costing? Should have called the "Big Boys" in years ago and got this sorted out for free and looked like an organisation that cared, instead of an organisation that is throwing money at something that is unlikely to actually prevent another paedophile ruining yet another life.
