It is so frustrating. It's just more bullshit. It never ends does it?
In my case, I thought that since the funding came from the State of Virginina, then there would be some record of me somewhere.
I was wondering if there was anyone else who received "allocated grants" from the state for their stay at Straight?
I have a hard time believing that records were allowed to be destroyed considering the issues surrounding Straight.
I wonder why all medical records off all "Straightlings" were not examined prior to anything being destroyed.
I'm pissed. Again and again. :flame:
That was probably the point of shredding, so those records could never be examined. Why on eath would Straight want to leave behing a paper trail to document their endless misdeeds, crimes, etc?
Oh but the shit gets deeper. I know for a fact some former staff members took client records with them (also stuff like COC's, letters, etc) when they left staff. I know a person that sifted through a box of these docs but unfortunately it was years ago and access to these docs are impossible now.
Also, you would think the police department (where I was kidnapped by Straight) would have my records since there are public record and I was an adult at the time. But no, I have been given the run around every time I call the police dept, have been sent on a wild goose chase (I suspect deliberately) to the historical society, where I was told the police were "telling me a story", their words not mine.
There is nothing but shadiness surrounding the whereabouts/destruction of our records.
