Casa by the Sea (ran by Mike Palmer) New Bethany girls home is closed. It was run by the Fords.
25. New Bethany Home for Girls - Shreveport Louisiana
New Bethany Home for Girls, aka New Bethany Church, was not owned or run by Roloff or his minions.
Mack and Thelma Ford owned and ran New Bethany (nb), located in Arcadia, Louisiana.
Mack Ford is a pedophile, and groups have formed to assist survivors of nb.
Mack and Roloff had similar beliefs and it seems that one of the times the Roloff home (Rebekah?) was closed, the girls were sent to nb in Arcadia, Louisiana.
I was at nb from '76 - '77. Some will admit that sexual abuse was an issue, others will deny the possibility [can't fix stupid]. I was contacted in 1998 by the DA or ADA in Shreveport and asked if I would testify against Mack Ford. I was more than willing but whatever the state of LA was trying to do must have been dropped.
Mack and Thelma Ford still live on the property in Arcadia.
Mack is trying to sell the property for a sweet 2 M and the dumbass thinks he gets to pocket the money!
When a girl made an allegation of physical or sexual abuse, after a good beating and days and weeks of absolute silence, some would change their story.
We all have such great memories!~ NOT!~
