A woman just told the MO Legislator of a fellow pregnant survivor who was made to drink Epsom salts at MS’s Bethesda until she miscarried. @TalkTroubled @BreakingCodeSi1 #religiousreform #hb557 #hb560
A legislator apologized to @AllenKnoll2 for abuse MO’s #AgapeBoarding. “I’m sorry they did that in the name of Christ, because that is not what Christ is about.”
Unfortunately, as a survivor, I disagree. Often these schools abuse kids in name of Christ. @C_Stroop @TalkTroubled

My experiences weren’t typical. Seriously.
I remember the commercials for the “Troubled Teen Industry.” My dad has brochures. He drove me to a group home and threatened to leave me there. 1/

I was 11 when I was forced to visit my new stepmom for a “family meeting” at the psych hospital, where she was staying for depression.

He offered to let me stay on the adolescent side. “Because (I) was sleepy and (I) could rest there.”
I didn’t want to go.
A half dozen grown men forcefully carried me there and restrained me. I was drugged and left in isolation. 3/

Like #ParisHilton, I Am A Survivor Of A Troubled Teen Treatment School And It Was A Nightmare- My school #EscuelaCaribe was religious, featured in @kidnpd4christ @BreakingCodeSi1 @huffpost #breakingcodesilence #EmptyThePews @C_Stroop @parishilton bit.ly/3jzZXsq
I discovered that in 1979 both my school & #ProvoCanyon were the focus of a congressional inquiry , 10 years before I was sent away, 2 years before Hilton was born @BreakingCodeSi1 @huffpost #breakingcodesilence #EmptyThePews @C_Stroop @parishilton bit.ly/3jzZXsq
Activist Kenneth Wooden censured my school, then known as Caribe Vista, for having low-paid, untrained staff who “brainwashed” students, put them into solitary and beat them. IN 1979. @BreakingCodeSi1 #breakingcodesilence @C_Stroop @parishilton bit.ly/3jzZXsq
