ok though hanzomon
 the filing the report in the state of Tennessee thing is a great idea
why don't you cut and paste it over here?
somebody should put it on Cafety too

[Anne Bonney]

Hazomon sweetie you were never in a program were you?
this isn't post traumatic stress issue for you
just a hobby right?
although i suppose you must be mad at something
or you just want to be cool?
and again you are too young to drink legally in a bar,
 I'm thinking you said
how about you butt out then? when talking about things that don't really have much to do with you
t.

What are you talking about?

This information is for all wanting to file a complaint with the State of Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities. If you were abused in a program in Tennessee you should file a complaint, at the least it will be on record and investigated. This may not get a program shutdown but it does get the word out to the State and robs them of the "we didn't know" excuse once the shit hits the fan.


Call 1-866-777-1250
You will need the name of the program and your complaint, that's basically it
The State will log your complaint and contact the inspector for that facility who will investigate the complaint. The complaint may be forwarded to another Agency when appropriate
You will need to call back for updated information about your complaint or they may call you depending on what happens


I don't believe that the complaint will be given a special number or code you could use when checking the status of the complaint. So when you make your complaint ask again how you check the status of the complaint

Even if your program is not licensed the State will still investigate to determine if the program is operating illegally. I would assume that they could also check to see if a program is licensed inappropriately.

Now for parents checking out Programs in Tennessee, you can call a number to checkout complaints filed against a facility by calling a different number.


Call 865-594-6551 and ask about the program
The complaints will not be logged with specifics. They are just listed under the type of complaint like 3 critical incidents or whatever. Still useful but not specific


Again this won't bring down a program but it's a step. The more people that file official complaints, the better the step.

p.s, I have the official rules and regulations programs in Tennessee have to follow. I Made some easier to read edits of these rules that focus on client rights and rules regarding isolation and restraint. I'll upload these whenever I figure out how and post a download link. With this information you can check to see if any specific rules were broken in regards to your rights.

EDIT: Download the Tennessee rules and regulations here. The edited documents cover Client Rights and Isolation and Restraint. The unedited documents contain the same rules and regulations mentioned above as well as the rules and regulations that govern Patient-Resident Work programs and Personnel Conduct towards Patient-Residents


Hah hah I stole your work Hanzomon you annoying little bastard

hanzomon told me he is 20 i think
and was never in a program he is just interested in the subject
therefore 20 year old guys who were never in a program
i'm not sure really know what the hell it's like and  have a big right to say much about it

Yeah, you're right.  We should shun and turn away anyone who's interested if they haven't been through a program.  

Uh huh.
 :roll:


Damn!  Isn't that what a lot of us are trying to do?  Get people who have no connection to this interested in it?  Aren't we trying to make the general public aware of what goes on inside these places?  Why would you turn someone away just because they haven't been through it.  Do you have to have been in a concentration camp to understand that what Hitler did was wrong and want to do something to help?

Dear Guest,
I've been 'in program'.  It was a LONG time ago, more difficult to deal w/now than decades ago; although that's real easy to say.  
My issues pale in comparison to most and I was 'in program'.  W/the Original recovering alcoholic, ex-stand-up-comic.
ANYONE who contributes matters.  Some of the wisest remarks come from NON-initiated.
Did ya 'get it' yet?
And if hanzomon4 is only 20, I'm impressed!

What do people mean when they type "we"?

[Anne Bonney]

Depends on who you're asking.  In this case, I meant we in the sense of victims of this industry.

[Anonymous]

that is what i meant as well.
like the people still suffering in PV
and under the after effects of the industry
did i tell Hanzamon that i hated him?
or did i simply say a 20 year old guy
who has never been in a program
might not understand, or get what i am saying
he's has probably never worked a full time job for more then six months
or lived alone as a woman in a bad neighborhood
or had any one larger and scarier then him hit on him
Free speech is a wonderful thing
cornering your neighbor on her way to work and propositioning her everytime she goes by in work clothes, or basically verbally raping your class or dorm mates
not ok also not legal, you can't threaten random people
and since the TV and normal 101.1 FM radio at 12:30 pm are kind of unavoidable
it's like hate speech wherever you go
it's just hate speech that I can't stand
it's no fun to be threatened sexually as a women
i don't want guys to say stuff like that to me it sounds like a description of rape?
and it's additionally pretty scary for people who deal with having been sexually abused as a kid.  duh come on now think about it
now those pictures I can handle
i used to watch south park all the time
i just didn't like the episode with Paris Hilton

No, you didn't say you hated him but you were pretty nasty for no reason.

Where did he threaten you?

Woah, woah woah.  Slow down.   You're not alone.  Many of us here have been through what you have so you're in good company, but you're painting everyone with a pretty broad brush there.

if it describes sexual acts in a threatening way
or it treats all women like they are porn it's hate speech
and sexual harassment
it's hard to draw a clear line
people describe sexual acts all the time
hence my use of fuck, i mean i say it when I'm mad
everyone talks about sex, who gives a fuck

i m pretty much concerned about seriouse things with a bad effect
so I'm going with verbal sexual bullying
or it treats women like they are porn,  
if it does that then it is sexist and sexually harassing
and it is a bad thing because it hurts women
and promotes violence against them
if racism was on TV a lot, wouldn't you encounter a lot more of it?
Hate speech gets rolling and the next thing you know you got Nazi's
ok jesus :roll:
i'm not a twenty year old guy
people sexually harasse me
i doubt anyone sexually harasses you
your acting like an insensitive twelve year old
why don't you stick with things you know
How is your life treating you?

[Anonymous]

finally i'm really just worried about sexual violence against women
verbal or otherwise, that makes it harder for them to get through their lives
verbal sexual bullying is very common
and it is no fun or joke
Pamela Anderson with her flotation device boobs
I can't care too much about as long as the TV doesn't graphically show her being sexually assaulted at 4 in the afternoon or something.
it really is like a minstrel show sometimes
and others, it's just too much on basic cable
little kids watch TV in the after noon and the shows are horrible
what about shows like Maury and Jerry Springer?
I saw this skit on MAD TV at 4pm, right after everyone gets out of school, called
Sex Toy Story, and it had a talking blow up doll with her mouth in a O,
a talking rear end, and two talking vibrators,
do I need to go on?
If I repeat some of the worst ones on basic cable before 11 pm, you would think I was sick. How about on Talk Soup, in the morning the guy was talking about a respected older women’s big slappy (*&(*&, only he didn’t edit it and he made a sound.
On that crime show with the red haired lady, a dead hooker was murdered with her privates mutilated, and they showed it at like 9pm!

i never thought i would be on this side of this argument but if it
shows graphic violence against women, teaches sexual harassment and sexual violence
or if it sounds like it's describing sexual assault, not ok
honestly I can’t believe I’m getting this much of a hassle about this on here
 give me a break!
 have you seen some of the stuff that has been posted on here?
 It’s not fucking free speech it’s threats of sexual violence.
We had the raping asian women post, that was as horrific and graphic as it could be, do I have to go back and repost all of it so you will see,
this isn’t a don’t ban “Catcher in the Ryeâ€

So what are you saying?  You can change the channel, turn it off, go for a walk, whatever.  You don't have to watch it.  And parents should be monitoring what they're kids are exposed to.  If they're going to use the TV as a babysitter, whose fault is that?  The shows or the parents?

Give me a break.  You sound like you're advocating censorship.  And wtf did any of this have to do with Hanzo?

i don't like you all much
and you are like hecklers
i don't write this stuff because of you
i write it inspite of you
it has a purpose
like i know a lot of women and girls out of PV are going through the same things
and I'm not going to let some sexually harassing pig shut me up
and telling the truth is the only way anything can get said properly
and i don't care although i hate to think of the way you all think
what are you doing on this site anyway
do you have anything to do with PV
how dare you take this site for survivors and come on here with your disgusting crap
i think your just trying to drive me and other people off
acting like some sexually harassing pig and i'm saying some personal stuff
to try and help people
and you talk about women wanting to be strippers, and your dating a black amazon stripper
and regaling everyone with stories about the red light district
you sound like a bunch of stupid macho teen age boys
i hate men like you
your a bunch a warped sick stupid racist sexist fucks
your like a bunch of racists sitting around telling stupid black people jokes
it's just the same
like a bunch of animals posturing
i am not ashamed
i can't believe anyone would be ugly enough to talk to some person on a site for survivors of abuse out of programs the way that people talk on here
i'm trying to lower the suicide rate out of PV by letting people know the truth and that they aren't alone
you sound like some drunk macho smuck in a bar
if i was trying to prove what i say about the world is true
the crap on this site certainly illustrates my point better then i could
although i can't think
that it is anything more then depressing
thanks for reaffirming my world view
the way you think is wrong. like i said your as bad as a bunch of racists

men like you try to silence women talking about how bad things like date rape and sexism and sexual harassment and all the sexual abuse that women face are
i'm not going to be shut up by some sexually threatening pig
rot in hell you disgusting morons.
you are not who you are supposed to be
i can tell
if you go on a site to help people with abuse they don't act like this
and the same stupid assholes are on here all the time
you are staff no doubt
why else would no one be even sane
like ok sometimes sexual bullying is bad
or huh it does seem to make sense that
those who were abused as kids would hate sexual harassment

[Anonymous]

i hate you worthless idiotic program staff pigs!
hell has a special place for people like you
you have been sexually harassing me horribly
and I've just been talking about life and programs
every other word out of most every one on here's mouth
has been something about women as sex objects
and i am like naively saying yes women as sex objects is very bad
you act just like PROGRAM STAFF
everything out of your mouths is a sexual slur

everything about you is like program staff
how fucking dare you worthless evil human beings
there really is a special place in hell for monsters like you
