I lived here in the late 90’s and was the victim of mental, sexual, and physical abuse. I watched Timothy die in that chair and nobody was counseled about it. We all watched it happen. can not wait to have my lawyer serve you with papers.

Because no one truly knows what injustice an abuse goes on in that place with the staff everything from mental, physical, an sexual. an then the factor of trying to setup kids under certain distrust program listings. an who does the kids turn to, even going as far as messing up there education. I spent years there an because you say it's a godly place doesn't make it so. they screw up an drop the ball with more stuff than anything. To me all I see is a money racket. I speak from my own personal experience.
