Survivor's Letter Requesting Acknowledgement and an Apology Petition: Signature List Feed http://gopetition.com/signatures/straight-inc-survivors-letter-requesting-acknowledgement-and-an-apology.html Online petition signatures en-us Sun, 12 Apr 2026 02:29 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Marcus Perez [Signature #140] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/24494303?utm_medium=rss My childhood was not spent with family it was spent with the sick people that run these programs. know that programs like this tend to live on under new names due to their shameful exploitation of minors the public outrage at their sick predatory behavior. Due to the abuse of these group homes. and in effectivw0orced scared straight programs. My childhood was taken from me due to the abuse of these group homes, forced scared straight programs. forced survivor programs pushing kids to their breaking point and in some cdeath. I suffer from PTSD, However I am not a victim of the sick people, selfish abusers, or politicians with their ego being their primary purpose in creating programs. Their motivation was never protecting the adolescents it was their duty to protect. I do not need an apology I just wanted to write this and sign it My full name. I do not forgive you. Now I am in a position/career that is spent hunting sickos like this.

Hearing and learning of animal sex. not being allowed to be locked in your bedroom because of possible fire hazzard but having all your clothes and bags searched nightly before bed. all clothes were locked in a different room and not allowed to where pants or any bottoms to bed to deter you from running away in the night. having to be physically "carried" held on to by your belt loop where ever you went. no bathroom door stalls. having to hold on to your "old comers" shower curtain when they showered so that our hands were visible at all times. theres so much more it would take days to write about

I remember flapping my arms all day "motivating" and eating stringed carrots for all day meals.I went from 190 lbs. to 159 lbs. in less than six months. It has been a long time but it doesn't seem like it. I would love to sue the shit out of their asses. I rammed my head into a brick wall to try and get them to take me to the hospital for a easier escape and they would have me pinned down for hours because of aggression.Your never right after going thru that.The only thing that dies in there is your hope. Literally endless stories of embarrassment which become the norm.

Said I would be a legal adult in 4 days, if I didn't like the program I could check out. Then had to watch him stand up in open metting, Get praised for his outstanding work with kids. He did not take one minute of his time to see how I was doing. I was being kidnapped, deprived, abused, seeing others getting abused and brainwashed. Dr David Tilley, of Marietta,Ga was the main reason for this happening. Tilley was the main person I saw while in program. He saw and instructed others to carry out the kidnapping, deprivation, abuse..ect.. The first few days I saw Tilley watching Todd Lindsey getting streched out on hard floor with at least five people sitting on Todd. Todd could not move or breathe. This went on many times. Tilley told me I was not getting out when I said I wanted out, and my parents didn't want me back. He told many others this also, that were suppose to be adults with legal rights. Tilley and Rinn were just interested in the money, not helping children. I saw countless forms of physical and mental abuses to all the children in the program. The progam used the children and famililies for money. Felony!

As much pain as re-visiting these memories brings to me. I know I have the strength to stand in front of anyone and tell my storie. I never want another child to suffer the way I did, wanting to die daily. How does that help anyone. After over 20 years, I am passionate and driven to put a stop to this kind of abuse once and for ALL!

I don't think I will ever be the confident, funny, happy person I was meant to be. You didn't just hurt me for only 2 years. All of these years later I am scared to leave my house. my voice shakes if I have to talk to anybody. I can't work any longer because I can't be around people. Every year it's just getting worse. I am reminded every day about the torture I went through for that 2 years. How could I ever forgive you.
You people can't even stand up and say I was wrong to be have involved in that. You're getting old now and will die soon. Judgement day is coming. I suggest you make it right and do all you can to help us heal our souls. apology may help some people but we need more.
