--- Quote from: ""Nico"" ---Sorry I havent replied in so long. Lets just say I have been very busy these last few months.
Someone asked why I even came here and I wanted to answer that.
When Amie and I worked there, we werent realy much older than the girls. Niether of us were realy in an authority position, I worked outside with the girls somtimes, and Amie was just kinda thier friend. We both just tried to have fun with the girls and be their friends.
I have said this before and gotten teased, but I never saw anything bad happen. Sure I saw some staff members be real rude to some of the girls, and I always felt bad, but there was not much I cold do about it (Ive always told Mr P that he should have had a school for wayword staff members instead)
So, when I herd about this site, I was kinda bummed. I just came here, read a few things, and never responded. I dont know if there are any girls here from when Amie and I were at the school. Someone mentioned me in a thread so I figured I'd respond. Thats prity much it.
I was sent to a Military school when I was in the 8th grade, and was treated horribly by staff and students, so I can empithize with some of your feelings.
I realy hope that whatever happened there, you girls can find peace. Gods not the bad guy, but people are.
Talk to you later-Nico

Wow... You all seem like some really angry people. The place in Jay has changed a lot, so you're kind of dwelling on the past. It is now called Lighthouse Christian Academy and there is a new Pastor as well. Pastor Cookston. I was in LCA from April 2006- June 2007. I guess i'm knid of flabergasted about what some of you wrote. They still do the soap thing, but they NEVER shoved it down anyone's throat while i was there... Are you sure you aren't overreacting? They only did good by me. I thought they were unfair in some areas, but they've never harmed anyone unless they were tring to hurt someone...

So glad things turned out well for you. Obviously though you have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to the VCA we all attended. You would be angry too if you had to go through what alot of us did. Anger is a part of healing and sometimes you have to "dwell on the past" in order to get through it and on with life. It has taken many of us years to get this far. Have you stopped to think that maybe many of us might be angry due to people telling us to "get over it" or that we are "overreacting" - abuse is abuse, whether it be mental or physical and comments like those only make it harder to move on. Places like this give survivors like myself a place to vent and a sense of belonging knowing we are not alone in our struggle.
I wish you the best of luck.

Hi, WOW just stumbled across this blog and wanted to weigh in... I m a VCA Survivor from Ramona California back in 1988. When the whole thing happened where a girl, carey died due to an accident while we were building a new church house(many of us were). any way, after the palmers were basicly shut down out here they moved to Florida.
How many are out there. my god!!!I've put this behind me for almost 20 years, but wouldn't you know , it never quite goes away.
What ever happened to Miss Virginia?? Does any one know? Or the Browns?
And as for all of you out there that cant understand or tend to criticize , YOU DONT KNOW!! You cant possibly unless you were there. So bite that one and chew on it for a while. see ya. 8-)
