Eddie Curley’s traumatic entanglement with New York’s Academy at Ivy Ridge began in 2002 with the flick of a light switch in the dead of night at his parent’s home in Delaware, he told The U.S. Sun in an exclusive interview.
It was October, a week after his 17th birthday, and Eddie – a varsity golf and soccer star – awoke at 3 am to find two men, dressed in combat boots and fatigues, towering over him at the edge of his bed.
“Alright, you need to get up. You’re coming with us,” he remembers the men telling him as his eyes were still adjusting to the sudden invasion of artificial light.
When his vision finally recalibrated, Eddie noticed that one of the men was holding a pair of handcuffs.
He screamed out for his mom and dad, but his desperate cries for help went unanswered.
“The escorts then told me, ‘We can do this one of two ways: the easy way or the hard way,'” recounted Eddie, who is now 39.
“I asked what the easy way was, and they said to come down the stairs voluntarily.
“So I walked out into the hallway and my mom was there cowering in the bathroom door crying, but she didn’t look at me.
