The Troubled Teen Industry / Re: Remember the Christian Alamo (Rebecka Home for Girls)

heres a poem I wrote while I was in Rebekah home 09/02/1983 I got in trouble alot for my poems.
REBECKAH GIRLS: Rebekah girls come rebekah girls go. they come without thier future fortold. with Mrs. Cameron dear, saying with a tear "you can't go home for a year". Some kick, some scream saying "It can't be true" and thing how long it will be till thier year is through. They think thier nerves will all come untied or they will sureley die. When Mrs. Camreon takes thier pants away and all the other things that decay, The teeth you have left from all the fights you had. When Rebekah girls go they go to the world thinking, I remember that day with Mrs. Cameron dear saying with a tear, you can't go home for a year. written by lisa craft a former rebekah home girl.  I got put in the lock up room for 24 hours for trying to mail this poem to my mother.

i arrived at the rebekah home in early 1982 right after brother roloff died and the camerons were the house parents and mrs. barrett was the housekeeper in charge of makeing sure are rooms were clean. I went there because i was being abused by my stepfather and i turned to a church for help because the state would not help me. The first year i was there was ok. the camerons wer very nice to me. yes you got paddeled if you got to many dermits it was hard going without tv and radio but it was better than getting beattin and molested by my stepdad. I am shocked about the commets about abuse by Mrs. cameron I remeber her as being nice. The abuse started when the berrets took over as house parents and yes some of the girls were made to kneel on pencils. Also you were made to kneel with bibles in your hands for one two hours. Girls were refused medical care. This all went on in 1983 there was a girl that almost died from apendex bursting. Mrs berrett told her she was faking and locked her in 'the room' .  Also the same year another girl ended up pregenant and told us Mr berrett raped her when she was in the room for running away. Mrs berrett started having girls locked up in the room for getting to many dermits including from cleaning your room. My bathroom had mold on wall that could not be removed. you guessed it right me and my roommate every week was either kneeling or was locked in the room instead of getting to watch the movie and eat doo doo bars granala. My mother kept all my letters that i wrote her i'm 43 now and my mother is 68 now she was reading them asking me what does this mean. I had to laugh I was speaking in code trying to tell her that things had changed. I got away in Dec of 1983 by getting Mrs cameron to chose me to be te alto singer in the all so famous trio. we went on tour and ended up in Dayton, Ohio where my older brother and sisters lived. If you had relitives in a city they let you stay with them they partnered you with someone from the choir to stay with you. I told my siblings what was going on since the berretts took over the girl that was with me verifyed it, so they refused to put me back on the tour bus called the police,Police told them they had the right to keep me . They had no choice but to go on. I have gained postive and negitives from my experices at rebekah home. I think it is a dangeous thing to glourify the place though. Only God can be truly holy all men have sinned.
