Ok, here are some answers,
1. No, I never said my brother's head was put thru the wall....as I said earlier, my younger brother was 7 when I entererd the program and my older brother was around 22. He was in the Navy. He went on one of those sibling interviews, that was the closet he ever was to straight.
"Why haven't you filed a suit. Is it fear or what is its that keeps you from doing what you shoudl do??? "
2. Statue of limitations runs out 5 years after a person turns 18 according to Florida law. Don't think I haven't checked it out. Spent about 1 year looking for lawyers. All said the same thing. I am not the victim of a capital crime. The only way to toll the statutes is to tie straight and the state of Florida to RICO crimes.
"Did both your brother's head get put through a wall like you said and almost five youngens heard you screaming it, or is this an sinsignia thing that all the former graduates/staff say to hoodwink real survivors.
3. I really can't understand what you are writing here. When I went to a protest, I did tell people that I was thrown into a wall for reading a cereal box. I said that becuse it is true. Do you remember the rule? No reading 'cept the bible on 1st phase?
" Mike, you got busterd in straIgt, name some anmames, gather some evidence. let s get on with the fight, stop pussy footin around. risk it all or like yuo say, Move On. "
4. I can name some of the people that fucked with me. I mostly was fucked with by my oldcomer and his foster brothers. I got fucked and busted at drop off's and at home. I got jumped on my birthday when I tried to leave. It was my 5th day in the program. I got jumped once again when I tried to leave. If you were in straight, I am sure you saw people restrained, and tackled.
So that is honest. You know, I try and be honest in my life. I work hard, I am a good parent and husband. I have tried to do what I can to stop the abuse in the treatment industry. No, I haven't been able to accomplish much, but I have done what I can.
Why haven't I done more? Maybe because I don't have the balls to "risk-it-all" I don't have the money or time to quit working and do what it would take to prove RICO. I personally think it is provable, but I am a land planner, not a fucking lawyer. I am a small business owner. I don't have time for doing much more any more than posting on fornits. My wife and I put on 2 conferences to try and get the word out about child abuse in the treatment industry. You shoulda been there. Maybe you can do something to help.
Oh yeah another answer for you.
You wondered when I knew straight was abusive? I know the answer just like you do. The moment I walked into group, I knew something was strange. The first time I saw a kid confronted I knew it was fucked up. The first time I saw a kid hit, punched restrained, denied the privledge of bodily functions, I knew that was wrong. As I think many of us did, for years, I told myself that even tho straight was so fucked up, "it saved my life" Not until I became a parent did I realize it was child abuse. Not until I read and learned about mental abuse did I really recognize what went on in my head and soul for the time I was in straight.
