An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

I was a resident at Edgemeade of Va. Edgemeade was located outside of Roanoke, Va on Smith Mountain Lake. Everything that's being said about the place is true. I was sexually molested for several years by a counselor and nothing was done about it. I was in that hell hole for 4 years because I was taken from my mother because of abuse and the state didn't know what to do with me. Some of the residents were extremely violent, one girl set another girls hair on fire, things like that. I spent 4 years watching my back. I was relieved to hear that they closed it down and had no idea there were other Edgemeades. I was there from 1975-1979. I will say most of the staff were caring people but untrained. If you were there please write a reply. Only kids that were there could truly understand what it was like.......Hell for kids
