Peninsula Village Q/A thread
psy:
--- Quote from: ""antilifeequation"" ---I can see that you two have a kind of back and forth thing going right now, but I just wanted to interject with a general question about this forum. I'm new and would like to tell my story. I assume that starting a new topic would be the best way to go about it. My question is: Are there any reasons, legal or otherwise, for me not to call out specific staff by their first and/or last names when I am describing my time there?
--- End quote ---
Nope. I encourage it. Especially if those staff work there. As long as what you say is true you have nothing to fear.
--- Quote ---I certainly have no intention of slandering anyone; the offenses and slights I suffered at PV are horrific enough on their own and need no exaggeration or embellishment.
--- End quote ---
A lot of people (stupid people) who read this forum think "oh this is just a bunch of fucked up program failures with grudges who exaggerate and manipulate". What they don't undestand is exactly what you just said. There is no need to exaggerate to show precisely how bad these programs are. Don't be afraid to speak out. Programs will threaten a lot of legal action but will rarely, if ever take you to court. It usually ends bad for the program (people with similar experiencs come forward... staff come forward.. subpoeans start flying around and internal documents hit the press...)
--- Quote ---It will take me awhile, I imagine, to convey my experiences there but I am anxious to share with those of you who have suffered similar experiences or love someone who had to suffer them.
--- End quote ---
Ya. I was not in PV, but I was in a program. There are an increasing amount of ex-PV ppl showing up here. The more you speak out, the more courage others will have to do the same. It's like a chain reaction.

How long did you spend in the STU?

Just to clarify it for the PV-page on secretprisonsforteens:
Porta = Portable toilet or was it more rustic like a metal container, which has to be remove from underneath a latrine
