hi eric .well you definatley got your point across! some of these people had terrible problems before the homes, and i think the homes made them much worse. you dont know there backgrounds so you cant tell them to get over it. Really. i do though like your point on doing something about it,the homes need someone to shut them down for good. ive talked about a civil suit but havent proceeded.

[wrathfulhoof1]

being in the homes for 2 1/2 yrs gave me insight to many of the home lives prior to the homes.the homes were worse for many.i myself would have rather been in the homes then be at with my family. i have met up with many lets call them grads of the homes, and i talk to many online, we have discovered that the past is the past. i witnessed many things while in corpus, and the main word is witnessed.i have been approached by a few lawyers and NO MATTER WHAT COURT YOU GO TO, YOU WILL LOSE THE CASE!!!!! fuck the courts! get even the way they abused you. i have,so ya'll might as well get on the band wagon.

[mitzy]

and how do you get even the way they abused us?
they abuse so we are suposed to abuse?
now thats sounds reasonable!!! NOT!

[wrathfulhoof1]
