Straight, Inc. and Derivatives / The Buildings
« on: December 29, 2004, 08:25:00 AM »
I read on one document that Straight survivors were interested in purchasing one of the FL buildings. Does anyone know what is up with that?

Also, do people know the status of the other buildings?

I believe a worthy long term project would be to have, as others have suggested, a memorial, as well as a catalogued history, especially including testimonies from survivors.

Current and former prisoners of abusive treatment programs (and your allies such as friends and parents):

There may be time limits on several things in your state or county. I would suggest that you obtain any documents that pertain to yourself as soon as possible, before their required storage time runs out. Records that may be helpful to you are complete school records, complete medical records, and complete psychological records. In the case that you are not able to get the complete psychological records, I would suggest that you find a sympathetic psychological professional to request them for you.

If you experienced or witnessed anything in your treatment program that you think might be a crime, I would suggest that you report these things to the police and/or the FBI. It is my opinion that any allegation of child abuse ought to be taken seriously, so if you find yourself not being taken seriously by anyone in law enforcement, talk to a different person. There are statutes of limitations that vary from state to state and from crime to crime. These statutes may also differ with regard to civil vs. criminal suits. It might be helpful for you to look at the code of law in your state.

I am not a lawyer, I am a former prisoner of Straight in Virginia. Please take or leave my advice on your own best judgment. It might be best if you found a good lawyer to help you understand the law and what your options are.

You are right, they do keep transcripts. I had thought that only my grades would be on there. I will order a copy and see what it says.

Straight, Inc. and Derivatives / I don't know what I'm doing
« on: December 27, 2004, 09:44:00 PM »
I am just researching as much as I can. I am also calling police and FBI to report the crimes that I experienced and witnessed. I feel that I have to do for myself rather than wait for someone else to do it. This is not to say that anything that I do alone will make a difference, but I wonder what will happen if I sit around and wait forever for the laws to change or for a brilliant law firm to take up the fight.

What I experienced in Straight was physical and emotional abuse and mental torture. Crimes were committed that must be brought to justice in the courts of law.

I cannot report everyone's crimes, and there are many far worse than what I saw. Please keep in mind what I found out in talking to the District Attorney in Fairfax County, VA the other day: there is no statute of limitations on felony crimes in Virginia. Were there felony crimes committed at Straight VA? Since I am not a lawyer, I cannot speak to that. If you think you witnessed or experienced crimes at Straight VA, you can call the police to report these crimes. (My experience has been that while one detective may not be easy to talk to, another will take you more seriously. These are not the easiest phone calls to make.)

I called to get my complete school records, but in Fairfax County they were destroyed after five years. I will post on the other survivor sites about getting records as soon as possible.
