I am probably one of the only employees that left Thayer. No, I wasn't fired, I was even asked to return.
However, I will never return. Thayer is not a great program and something has to be done to shut them down.
I can't actually say I saw abbuse, but I call neglect abuse. Neglect weither is was medically or just plain ignoring a kid. I never saw anyone physically hit a kid or anything like that, but the lies told by the Bundy were crazy, on going, never ending.
When I first started working at Thayer, I did if for the money and I thought it was very interesting and delt with kids, so I loved it. The part I didn't love was the dishonesty from the owners and the fact no one was ever on the same page.
I worked at Thayer for the money while I was going to college and I realize now that I could have lowered myself to being a stripper and felt better about myself.
I have never been treated with such disrespect in a job and I have never been asked to do such things as, hand out medications, or scream at kids. I was known as a soft sargent one who let the kids get away with stuff and maybe that was a little true.
All I know is that I have compassion for children. I realize why they are their, but what the Bundys don't realize, is that they aren't better than anyone else. Everyone is equal in God's eyes. Everyone sins and everyone can ask for the same forgiveness.
I feel like I want to stand up and talk about Thayer, tell the authorities what I know, but in the back of my mind I fear the Bundy's will hunt me down and try to slap a lawsuit on me for talking about anyting at all.
The Bundys are know for that.
