Hello from Reddit /r/troubledteens
« on: April 15, 2011, 04:53:48 PM »
Hello Fornits!

You may have seen a few of my posts under username pixel8. I'm switching to this account because it is more easily identifiable.

I learned about the troubled teen industry through the Elan posts on reddit.com. The more I learned, the more outraged I became. With the help of a good friend, I started a subreddit dedicated to news and actions we can take against these horrible teen prisons.

http://http://www.reddit.com/r/troubledteens/

It's been a lot of work to get started, I'm sorry I haven't come over here sooner to formally introduce myself and say hi. Your site is fantastic, I've been doing a lot of reading and directing traffic here. I will be around more often, I'm new to message boards and I don't understand them completely, so please guide me if you see messing it up...I promise it will happen!

I would like to personally invite you to come visit us, as well. Please feel free to post your thoughts, your stories, your ideas to shut places down, news articles, links to resources, links to fornits, etc. Making an account is easy, you just need a username and password, email address is optional.

Most of reddit is like I was 3 weeks ago....they have no idea such a huge, harmful problem exists. If anything, we would like to get the word out about these abusive facilities.

Thank you all for your hard work for so many years to build this website. We look forward to supporting your efforts, and we are here to help any way we can.

Also, there is a reporter who is interested in speaking to people with experience at Bromley Brook School in Vermont. It is Aspen-owned and one of the ones that is being shut down this summer. Please PM me if you know anyone.

I've posted this request in the News section, but if I should put it somewhere else, please let me know.

Thanks!

I've posted a reply in the other thread... (for no good reason; maybe I thought the title was more apropos :D )

Btw, fwiw, I think pixel8 is a great username.

Wow, your links are fantastic, thank you! I will def. move on them.

Ty, pixel8 is my reddit handle. I'm a graphic designer so it seemed appropriate.
