I just read this post by Ginger on another forum. It is about a letter she received from a Straight Survivor. Very poignant letter which underscores the tragedy of these places and how lucky we all are to have a place like Fornits where survivors can come, find one another and make new friends, share their personal thoughts and feelings, get important notices and/or updates which might be relevant to them, exchange private emails or chat by IM, especially when someone is feeling down and can use a helping hand. Here is the post in case others have not read it. (Thanks Ginger!)

I am sorry about that because the teen hurt industry is not all about WWASPS or the agenda of a handful of people intent on "taking them down". It is about small, mom-and-pop sized outfits that run group homes (like the now defunct Royal Haven), mid size paramilitary programs like Buffalo Soldiers (where Tony Haynes died), outdoor behavioral healthcare programs like Catherine Freer, Skyline Journey, Obsidian Trails, Red Rock Ranch Academy, On Track, where teens have lost their lives, not to mention the faith-based programs like Mountain Park Academy, Roloff, Bethel, notorious for victimizing youth in God's name. The list goes on and on. Perhaps the Spammer might think about these kids the next time he/she gets the urge to hijack Fornits for their own misuse.
