Little known fact:
Roloff homes was operating on The Farm in 1989-1990(?) in Corpus.
They got away with it by having the parents put their children under conservatorship to the Homes.
I was in the Dye Home at that time & their was also the Palmer Home for Girls & the Anchor Home for Boys was still operating.
From what I understand from reading other Roloff Homes stuff on the Web, the protocall was pretty much the same when I was there. There was the one hour Bible recitation, church attendence 3 times a week, the radio bible listening 2 times daily. Isolation from family for the first 60 days--no communication at all.
Probation consisted of wearing these horrid red polyester a-line skirts with the white & red checkered shirts. We had to shun the people who were on probation. We weren't allowed to talk to them.
We were also encouraged to 'narc' on offenders--offenses were petty.
Looking back now, it was a time I am ashamed about. I turned on my roommates for the dumbest things when really I should have been connecting with them as a way of survival.
