: My name is Wesley Fager. I was in Straight's Northern Virginia camp from 1989 - 1990. My son got pretty banged up in that hell hole. I've spent the last three years of my life researching Straight and its predecessors and successors. Places like KIDS of Bergen County, Synanon Church and The Seed. If you have a story to tell, I'm the guy writing the book so let's hear it.
: It sure is good to see that people like Ginger and Scott are coming forward, least we forget. I encourage anyone who was in the cult, from a parent like me, to a phasor or sibling, or relative or friend, or just a knowledeable or concerned person, to consider publishing a web page to tell your story. If you don't have the expertise, I'm sure that people like Scott and Ginger can point you in the right direction to get started.
: Thank you Ginger for providing this forum so long overdue.

Wesley,
I am doing research on the Straight VA facility. Was wondering
if you could give me any specifics of the abuses which
occurred and what your son went through. I'm also curious
to see if your son might have known Bradley Martin who was
at the Straight facility from spring 1988 until summer 1990.
Thanks in advance for your assistance. This request also applies
to anyone else who may have info on the VA Straight center.
