Years attended : April 5,2001-April 9, 2003
I spent on and off for the whole time I was in there on
work sanctions, in exile, the corner, eating mapo and dry tuna and
being called all types of names. Robin and Mike Ducey would let me off
shadow one day to just calling me a fuck up, I will never amount to
anything, and putting me on work sanction and standing in exile until
further notice.
I can honestly say that to this day I don't know what I
did half the time to be mentally, emotionally and verbally abused. I
myself have never been physically abused but I have seen a boy tackled
from family 1 by 5 men about 250lbs each for grabbing food to eat off
the table because they were starving him. I was told at lunch on the
day I was leaving that I would never be anything but a "junkie and
prostitute"(Ed Becker).
I would never send my child to this school. In
fact if anyone came to me and said they would put their child in the
Family Foundation School, I would laugh and call them a dumbass and
tell them they must really hate their child. I had to make up a lot of
lies just so all the staff and my parents thought I was "doing better".
I was told my parents didn't want anything to do with me and I would be
there until I graduated no matter how well I did.
Robin Ducey even told
me that they were going to keep me out of school until they "broke me".
I have nightmares frequently, have been diagnosed with PTSD, I don't
trust anyone anymore including my own family,I watch what I do and say
to people very closely. My friendships are nil and the last romantic
relationship was physically abusive. If I had been allowed to deal with
people than maybe I would know how to deal with people now.
THIS SCHOOL
NEEDS TO BE CLOSED AND DAMN SOON!!!
