atlanta suicides
I have a web page dedicated to KIDS of North Jersey, but I also want to start a page dedicated to those not with us anymore.  If you have names of people who have passed away, please let me know.  Thank you.  And I hope you find more SURVIVORS than victims.

Re: Atlanta, GA Straight, Inc...Anyone left saved from suici
Brian,


I wasn't in Atlanta but I was in Boston from 89-91. They booted a kid out of our group and sent him down there he might have been in around the same time as you. His name was Josh M. he was from Massachusetts. Real nice kid he just wasn't too happy being there. I'll send you his last name in an email if you don't recognize him right off the bat. But I'm almost positive you were there at the same time.


Let me know if you know him.


-Scott

Re: atlanta suicides
There are four names I can remember hearing of. You can email me for their last names. They were all in the Atlanta program when I was.

Andy W. or H. (not Andy E. the counselor... He lives in Fl. and is doing GREAT!) Anna B., Jamie C., and Pete B.

you can email me at [email protected]

It's such a waste to see a kid take thier own life for any reason. Pete B. was not a suicide from what I heard. He was a casualty of a drug deal gone bad. Shame, .. he is from a multi million dollar family. If any one reading this has any information that needs to be corrected, PLEASE email me. More than anything, I would love to be proven wrong about all of this, but I'm afraid I'm correct...... Brian

Michelle Embry was a transfer from the florida program to the Atlanta hole in 1984..Apparently, she did not comply with the program in Florida.She was my newcomer, and my friend. Michelle attended me on my fourth phase trip home.  She was not able to endure the endless punishment she recieved from the program. Sadly she committed suicide in 1986.

Hello, I am William from Virginia. Springfield, 83-85. I know of about 11 suicides from Wes's site, and heard about a couple personally. I built a memorial to the victims before the reunion we had last August. I did not have any names from any other branch. Also, we protested in DC last July and carried signs with names of the Va suicide victims at the Italian Embassy for the vigil. This is very disturbing to me, to know that other branches also had several suicides. Wes Fager's site covers most of them, but this is news to me, and maybe to him as well. My personal belief is that these people would most likely still be alive had it not been for Straight, Inc. For that reason, I am pursuing the responsible parties until I am satisfied that justice has been done. I have been cautioned that these monsters that created Straight, Inc are some nasty characters and may bring harm or otherwise negative responses to my existence. I am fully prepared to accept any challenges that come my way. If someone from Atlanta, Detroit, Cinci, etc. would Please post a list of the victims from other branches in one post, or I can get it from Wes, then I can add it to the memorial here in Midland Virginia. Thank you, MG8.

I ran into Steve in Charleston, SC several years ago. He was the Front Manager for Magnolias, a REALLY nice restraunt there. We talked for a while and he is doing really well. I don not know if he is still there. I would suspect he in still in Charleston though.

Thanks you Clay. Steve was the first oldcomer I had that treated me like a human. He became like a big brother to me, took me under his wing and all. I lived at his house in the Chamblee-Dunwoody area where he and his mom made me feel like one of the family...one of the few good memories I have.He 7-stepped a couple of weeks after I made 2nd phase but I've always remembered his kindness towards me. I talked to him some after getting out but we eventually lost touch. Years later I heard rumor that he had died but at that point in life I was running hard from any memories of Straight so I never investigated it. I'm really glad to hear it wasn't true.
