Vanessa, I am so sorry for your experience at VCA. I too went to VCA. I am horrified by the things Ive read online about VCA. I however know most are completely unfounded and fabricated. Did I like my stay at VCA? NO! Do I look back w/ a fond eye? NO! It wasnt supposed to be a place we liked. It was meant to be a place of reconditioning. A chance for us to be plucked out of our drug,over-sexed,provocative ways.. and give us a chance to dust off and redirect our feet. It was a wonderful opportunity for me to look back on my short life up until then and see just how many bad choices I was making and the empty feeling they all gave me. I decided to let the Lord take charge. After leaving... things were bumpy and I didnt always keep my eyes focused on Christ. BIG MISTAKE! His grace was sufficient and after meeting my NOW husband we have three beautiful kids, Home, good memories and a great church we belong to. I love you as a friend and I dont even know you! Just know God loves you so much more... and is always there for you. If you want to turn to anyone.. TURN TO HIM!!! Jocelyn

There is no God.
VCA was the proof.

My name is Trisha Vasquez I attended VCA from 1988 to1990 I was sent there 2 months after my father died and my mom tried to put me in three different homes but they told her i was suffering form depression and she needed to seek a different kind of help. My mother found VCA and i was sent there without her even visiting the school first. Some of you may remember me I had a very hard time with a eating disorder, i could'nt eat much it got so bad I starting vomiting every time I ate I use to see some of the girls stare and thought i was acting out or rebelling. staff members resorted to cutting a inch of my hair off every time i did'nt finish within their time limit then took all my belonging as was only allowed to wear dorm clothes. when that did'nt work they would put my meals in a blender and tell me to drink it. if I could'nt finish in time I was layed on the floor and held down while staff put a funnel down my throat and poured my delicious meal forcfully down my throat. I spent at least 18 months in the GR ROOM out of 2 years. the rest of the time I was in the corner writting I WILL EAT ON TIME.. One good thing did come out of it I learned the Lord but that is the only good thing that came from it my mother could never own up to it nor will she listen when i tried to tell her about things that went on there, it was all in my head, I am so happy to learn I wasn't the only one.... I have four wonderful children and and they are the only bliss in my life... If anyone remembers me or would like to share or just vent about VCA feel free to email @ trishvaz@clearwire.net and for all of you defending VCA you were lucky to not have experienced things other girls in real need of help experienced.

--- Quote from: "ANGELA" ---i WAS AT VCA AROUND 89. JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS WEBSITE... IS THERE A YAHOO GROUP???
LYNDIE TIMMS,CHRISTINA DRUEHL ARE TWO OF THE GIRLS WHO WERE THERE WHEN IWAS THERE..I REMEMBER MANY GIRLS BUT THEIR NAMES HAVE SLIPPED MY MIND AT THE MOMENT. YESENIA WAS ON STAFF FOR A SHORT PERIOD WHILE I WAS THERE. TERRIBLE MEMORIES FROM A TERRIBLE PLACE...BRO. PALMER WAS SUCH A PERV!! ANYONE HAVE ANY UPDATES ON EVERYTHING..YOU KNOW STAFF, FORMER STUDENTS..ETC
I SEE MISS VIRGINIA HAS A BAND....INTERESTING...A CHRISTIAN ONE AT THAT....INTERESTING.
I REALLY WANT TO FIND SOME GIRLS WHO REMAINED IN MY HEART AND ON MY MIND TO THIS DAY. ALTHOUGH I HAVE BECOME VERY SUCCESSFUL , IT WAS NOT WITHOUT MANY YEARS OF COMING TO TERMS WITH THINGS THAT HAPPENED DURING MY 18 MOS. AT VCA. IT TOOK ME ALONG TIME TO LEARN TO TRUST SOMEONE WHO WAS SMILING AT ME. TO BE HONEST, I STILL TRUST ANYONE BUT I AM OK WIHT THAT NOW..AND IT HAS SERVED ME WELL IN MY CAREER , BUT SADLY..TOOK ME A LONG TIME TO REALIZE MY ISSUE AND DEAL WITH IT IN MY PERSONAL LIFE......MANY HURT AND PAINFUL YEARS....BUT TIME HEALS MANY THINGS AND IT HAS HEALED ME.
I KNOW NOW WHAT A REAL CHRISTIAN IS...AND THIS PLACE WAS OF THE DEVIL. EVEN THE PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT "ABUSIVE"..LOOKED THE OTHER WAY AND ALLOWED LITTLE GIRLS TO BE ABUSED AND PREYED UPON...THAT IN ITSELF IS ABUSE AND AT THE VERY LEAST "INHUMANE".....
