Troubled

Paul Geer "The Music Man" was convicted by a federal jury after a two-week-long trial on two counts of coercing and enticing two separate children to travel across state lines to engage in unlawful sexual activity and two counts of transporting the children across state lines with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity with those children.  The jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict on two additional counts. "The evidence at trial proved that, while Geer was a teacher at the Family Foundation School in Hancock, New York, he imposed various disciplinary sanctions on students that were tantamount to torture. The sanctions Geer imposed on students included depriving children of food or forcing children to eat food that had been regurgitated, binding children in rugs and leaving them in isolated rooms for extended periods of time and forcing children to perform forced physical labor. "Read the full Press Release from the US Attorney's Officer HERE.3/5/25 News 12 with Erin Lawlor: https://www.wbng.com/2025/03/05/watch-family-foundation-school-alumni-share-their-story-following-arrest-paul-geer/Listen to "Meet the Music Man" HERE.

Hey stranger danger, remember us? We've been on Blackout for the last few years primarily because the podcast and all you epic humans tuning in from across the Globe have been successful! I dig that it seems weird to go dark when things are working, but gander a google for “Paul Geer” and you'll see that the Federal Govt has finally charged the “Music Man” from my personal vortex of hell “the Family Foundation School” for just 3 of his many victims who came forward from his 30 year reign of terror, and yes we all hope that more of his victims will have access to Justice in the future . For those that arent caught up on this predator, checkout our interview with Liz and Liz titled “Meet The Music Man” from 2020. We pushed for YEARS for the NY Child Victims Act which opened the statute of limitations for child victims of SA in civil court. Those cases have finally arrived in Federal Criminal Court in the “USA vs Paul Geer”. Currently, the jury is deliberating so we are keeping our mouths SHUT as we have for the last few years to protect this process. Troubled remains a free, non monetized podcast by Survivors, for Survivors and the general public. Our goal is still to raise awareness with the goal being Justice and accountability for the past as well as legislation and reform in the present and for the future. To this day, a quarter million NEW child victims are abducted, trafficked, detained and tortured in coercive behavior modification facilities nationwide.For the thousands of Survivors from the Family School specifically, we see you survivor. As soon as the verdict is in we will posts updates about the trial and if you would like your voice included please send audio Recordings to our email TheTroubledPodcast@gmailWe'll use as many clips as possible, but they may be edited for brevity or content. FFS Survivors who would like to submit a character witness statement for Paul Geers sentencing (which is months up to a year out) we are happy to forward you that email or you can contact the James T Foley Courthouse in Albany (which is also how you would purchase the trial transcript which is 5 cents a page, altho please note that we do plan to host our copy publicly once received). For ANY Survivor who hopes to be involved in ANY civil or criminal cases in the future, PLEASE PLEASE hear this “anything you say publicly on any podcast, in any article or even on any of your social media platforms CAN absolutely be used as evidence in any court.” We have a lot to say about how Survivors testimonials were used in Federal Court this time but we and EVERY FFS Survivor (or anyone related to any active case) should seriously stay shhhed until the verdict is announced to avoid jeopardizing our collective access to Justice. We'll be seeing you again very very soon, but until then #iseeyousurvivor

Last week, the first volume of the report on the Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative Investigation was released. Last year, the first Indigenous Secretary of the Interior, Deb Haaland, created the initiative after the discovery of 215 unmarked graves of Indigenous children by Canada's Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation at the Kamloops Indian Residential School in May 2021. If YOU are a Survivor of Institutional Child Abuse (w/in the so-called "Troubled Teen Industry": Conversion Therapy, Wilderness Therapy, Bootcamps, Boarding Schools), or one of our allies, it is imperative to support the Indigenous Communities of Turtle Island through this review and reconciliation. Please center, elevate and amplify Indigenous Survivors and Advocates. READ Indian Country Today's coverage for a summary and follow for more information. The National Boarding School Healing Coalition is requesting people who attended a boarding school or are a descendent of a boarding school attendee to submit their written testimonies to the House of Natural Resources Committee by May 26. Email submissions to HNRCDocs@mail.house.gov and CC NABS at info@nabshc.org. The National Boarding School Healing Coalition (NABS) has put together a suggested outline for written testimony for individuals to follow if needed: dentify yourself, your Tribe, and the boarding school you attended a. Boarding School: what school did you or your family member attend, and what year(s) did you/they attend? State your position of support for “H.R. 5444 the Truth and Healing Commission on Indian Boarding School Policies Act” Personal story that you are comfortable sharing. This is often the most powerful part. Conclusion: Restate/review your position at the end of your testimony Thank the committee or task force for the opportunity to speak a. “Thank you to the Natural Resources Subcommittee for Indigenous Peoples of the United States” There is not a limit to the length of your statements. Your written testimony will be on record in the House of Congress. YOU can support the first targets of the US' Historic prevalence of mass, for-profit, legal, child abduction, detention, trafficking and torture schema by sharing this brief update episode and ALL of the links below to help make sure that ALL Survivors of the Residential Schools for the Indigenous are aware of their opportunity to submit testimony. We are disheartened that after centuries of Survivors speaking up, and a year of investigation, the US Government is allowing mere days for Survivors to step forward and share traumas they may have kept locked away for decades. STILL, raise awareness for this update in #everychildmatters and then do the following: Read the Truth and Healing Commission on Indian Boarding Schools Act HR5444 & SB2907 Support HR5444 & SB2907 (Truth and Healing Commission on Indian Boarding Schools) via ResistBot Text PCGYYN to 50409 SIGN the Change.org Petition to "Demand Thorough Searches of Residential School Lands for Native Children Remains" Podcast on this Friday! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/troubled/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/troubled/support

18 years ago, I became a legal person and was allowed to simply walk out of the pedo run kiddie prison I'd been detained in in the Catskills. I wasn't allowed to "walk away" when they forced me to eat my vomit, or while the last boy I had a crush on was choking to death on his own blood in front of me - but somehow, something about my 18th birthday, changed everything. 18 years later and I'm barely beginning the process of deconstructing my experience within the so-called "Troubled Teen Industry" at the Family Foundation School in Hancock New York. I'd like to thank the film, Sucker Punch, for breaking the blocks I had built the dismissive delusion of my "boarding school" upon.  Let's discuss a few of the things I learned from my one year of access to therapy. For those of us with CPTSD from Tough Love, it's imperative that we recognize DARVO when it happens. While I'm not endorsing DBT, or suggesting these tactics have worked for me, we discuss the Dear Man technique. And scoop this Daily Mail article on our team, focused on Circle of Hope and Agape Boarding School thanks to the advocacy of Amanda Householder and Colton Schrag (to name two of many). We appreciate the shout-out to Family School Survivors, if you are one and would like to participate in upcoming articles, please reach out. If you'd like to connect with the Reverend Chris Wilson (who breaks down the difference between "boundaries" and "rules" for us) you can find them on Instagram HERE @ExiledFaith if you are interested in addressing your religious trauma or learning more about the toxicity of "purity culture", we could not recommend them more.

Let's talk about Survivors of Institutional Child Abuse on a global scale. Sometimes its imperative to scroll it back to comprehend the scope of the entire cake we're cut from. Historically institutionalized communities are calling upon the international community to activate and assist them in moving their advocacy forward. This week is #MMIWAwareness and the root of the rot of institutional youth abuse in the USA and Canada were the "residential schools" for the Indigenous. There is so much valuable insight to glean from how Survivors have pushed for reform, redress and reconciliation. But as we continue to benefit from Indigenous cultures, we must likewise center, elevate and amplify their voices as we move forward with any action items or advocacy in/on Turtle Island. As the rising toll of indigenous children confirmed stolen by the Church and State's institutional atrocities surpasses 10,000 in Canada, we implore you to jump on hashtags like #everychildmatters and help to proactively expand the visibility of these Survivors and Advocates. With that in mind, please follow and support one of our favorite Nonprofits in Canada, led by an MMIW Survivor and Second Generation Residential School Survivors @ChildrenFirstSociety on all socials and activate via their website: https://childrenfirstsociety.wixsite.com/childrenfirstsociety In Ireland there are over 9,000 children confirmed killed by the Church and State in their residential homes including the Mother and Baby Homes. Please join the Survivors and Advocates via #motherandbabyhomes. If you're particularly interested in the institutional targeting of Irish Travellers in Ireland definitely support best selling author of "The Tinker Menace" Laura Angela Collins. You can support Travellers and other Nomadic Communities in the EU/UK via #WeRoamWithYou and #StopTravellerHate With everything we have to learn from the successes in these communities, as well as the obstacles they face, our hope is that we can apply this knowledge to our own quest for justice while also becoming more accessible, inclusive, diverse and accountable. We haven't used the hashtag #breakingcodesilence in a while but since we bring it up, we may as well include it here. We have to expand and round out our table of leadership, access and visibility so that all Survivors can see themselves represented whether they be from wilderness therapy, conversion therapy, religious boarding schools, or any Tough Love flavor of the so-called Troubled Teen Industry. And we must recognize when we individually or collectively DARVO ourselves and the community by deflecting the trauma we deny in ourselves and projecting it outward. Checkout "Take Back Your Life Recovery" by Dr. Janja Lalich, next deprogramming series for Survivors of High Control Groups starts in May: https://www.tbylr.com/  We hope you will join us as we move forward into this next stage of our crucible, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported us thus far.  Follow us @TalkTroubled everywhere, visit our website www.talktroubled.org and rate/review us on iTunes/Spotify/Facebook. #iseeyousurvivor --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/troubled/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/troubled/support

Welcome back to Troubled, a podcast by/for Survivors of Institutional Youth Abuse. THANK YOU for being here for the third season of our Independent self archival project. Two seasons bootlegged together over a cell phone, recorded in an old Prius wasn't too much for you? Well, masochism may pay off here as we embark on our most personal missions yet and play the cards we've held closest throughout the collective crucible of advocacy in a time of Covid. Super quick 31st birthday catch-up with Amanda Householder, who just filed a lawsuit against her parents, Boyd and Stephanie Householder, owners of Circle of Hope Girls Ranch AND their complicit and culpable cohorts - Agape Boarding School for Boys, Agape Baptist Church and Berean Baptist Church. We won't be getting into the nitty gritty of the details today, out of respect for Amanda, but we HIGHLY recommend you read the Kansas City Star Article "I was born into this." Daughter of Missouri reform school sues parents over abuse" by Judy Thomas and Laura Bauer, two rare gems of journalistic integrity. It is incredibly difficult to find ethical media allies of this caliber and we would just like to thank these women for how they have treated Survivors of Institutional Abuse throughout the last year of consistent coverage in Missouri. We wish they weren't an exception, but we are infinitely grateful they're both committed to exposing this crime against humanity as it plays out in their backyards. Forgive us our ADHD and self-defense, in this and every episode. We look forward to exploring the specific traumas of ourselves and our peers who were forever altered relationally by peer-on-peer attack therapy, but we'll also briefly address it in this update. We hope that Survivors will see other Survivors making moves and taking names as invitations or challenges to do so themselves. We hope that you will join us on the frontlines at every fork in the road. We also understand that for a historically invalidated community, and collectively gaslit community, that it can be triggering to see the mic passed to the next advocate. Often we can feel as if we are being spoken for, or over, or disregarded entirely. But every opportunity for a Survivor to speak, is an opportunity for Survivors to be heard. If we believe that we are stronger together, then we cannot continue to allow our community to reenact our trauma. MANY Survivors are neurodiverse, many of us experience RSD (Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria) - especially since it's the most common symptom of ADHD. Even if we don't have RSD dialing up the perception of rejection, we HAVE been abandoned, excluded, silenced, and otherwise pariah-ed to the point where you don't even need 'confirmation bias' to perceive the world as wholly unsafe, as well as the people in it. I dig it. I'm living in this world with you. PLEASE let us be aware of how we deflect and project ourselves onto the world around us. We cannot move towards an exclusionary policy as we curate our collective movement. Please join us in advocating for youth rights to liberate all kids in cages, from the border, through foster care, to the ToughLove so-called Troubled Teen Industry.

UHS (owner of Provo Canyon) is currently under a 5 year Federal Observation Probation due to a recent $117 million settlement with the Department of Justice so that, even though they were guilty over everything below, they can continue to extort our tax dollars. "The government alleged that between January 2006 and December 2018, UHS facilities admitted as patients federal healthcare beneficiaries who were not eligible for inpatient or residential treatment because their conditions did not require that level of care, while also failing to properly discharge appropriately admitted beneficiaries when they no longer required inpatient care. The government further alleged that UHS facilities billed for services not rendered, billed for improper and excessive lengths of stay, failed to provide adequate staffing, training, and/or supervision of staff, and improperly used physical and chemical restraints and seclusion. In addition, UHS facilities allegedly failed to develop and/or update individual assessments and treatment plans for patients, failed to provide adequate discharge planning, and failed to provide required individual and group therapy services in accordance with federal and state regulations." Full Department of Justice Public Statement Even though we all know exactly who UHS is, they are not only surviving, but thriving. Currently, UHS has finalized an application to expand in Oregon. Survivors & Supporters Assemble. The public is invited to submit "comment" to Oregon as they decide whether or not to approve a 50 million dollar UHS expansion (NEWCO). PLEASE organize, activate and amplify to recruit mental health and human rights organizations to submit public opposition to this notoriously abusive and fraudulent company from further causing harm to Oregonians. There's a reason the OHA rejected their previous application, and sure promises of a blood money dump into the local economy is not enough to pay for the silence of those they've harmed. As an individual, if you have personal experience with UHS, please also submit comment. We highly recommend posting a public testimonial on YouTube so that public awareness can reach a critical mass. However you choose to advocate, please remember that in order for your public statement to be officially counted and effective in Oregon, it MUST be submitted via the contact information below. To the care of Pamela Krecklow PAM.L.KRECKLOW@dhsoha.state.or.us OHA 800 NE Oregon Street, Suite 465 Portland, OR 97232 We highly recommend checking out CCHR (Citizens Commission on Human Rights) International's public comment HERE for an excellent summary of advocates concerns AND the perfect example of what Oregon needs from organizations opposing. Our favorite part about the hearing (included in this podcast) is that the "local allies" UHS cites are not only present in the public hearing, but in OPPOSITION. It says a lot when all your supporters (with one exception) are your employees or your paid Goon/Transporter/Kidnapper. Please rate/write review for Troubled wherever you cast your pods (in particular on itunes) so that other allies can find us.

TW/CW: Season 2 EP2 was recorded between Jeneen Miller of Pieces of Victory and Miranda Sullivan from Troubled, shortly after they met in Missouri during the November Right to Rights Rally. Mental Health and technical difficulties have kept this long awaited treasure from you, minimal updates to the content are included in the Outro. Pieces of Victory is a Show on YouTube that features many of our Survivor friends and Heroes. Jeneen's book (which is unfortunately totally true) is also available, and we highly recommend it. Everything is on the table, getting dished and dissed. What do "statutes of limitations" for abuse say about our society? How does r*aping little gay boys convert them to heterosexuality? We discuss Conversion "therapy" Torture in the USA, and Jeneen's good friend, advocate and Survivor, James Swift (aka Fifi Frost). Catch them both on Netflix's Haunted Season 2 EP3 and read James' Memoir "Rusted Rhistestones". We remember all the Survivors who came before us, who recruited us to the movement they created, and who LITERALLY gave their lives to this and us. Michele Ulriksen was the first Survivor to write about Victory Christian Academy in her book, Reform at Victory: a Survivor's Story. She is also responsible for recruiting her Victory Sister, Jeneen, to the frontlines. This is all for her. This is all for them. And for the children today, so that someday, there will be #nomoresurvivors RESPECT to our Sh-eros in public office, Senator Sara Gelser of Oregon and Representative Keri Ingle of Missouri. We see you, we hope to vote for your for higher office STAT. For regular updates on Agape Boarding School or Circle of Hope Girls Ranch as it pertains to the investigation and leaks which would put us 6-feet-under if we didn't run through our allies, SUBSCRIBE to the Kansas City Star and don't miss out on any of the coverage that will contribute to Judy Thomas' upcoming Pulitzer. It's time to relaunch #justiceforcornelius - hit us up if you're ready. It's been a year, since Cornelius Frederick was murdered on video for throwing a sandwich. It's been a YEAR and neither Lakeside, Sequel, Bain, or the anyone within the "Troubled Teen Industry" have answered for this "collateral commodity hiccup". #NOJUSTICENOPEACE Socials @TalkTroubled www.TalkTroubled.org Please Rate & Write Review on iTunes --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/troubled/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/troubled/support

A decade in to their relationship, they're opening it up for public perusal so that those of us who have not yet experienced a safe space or learned to create it can benefit from the love that our sisters share.  When do you talk to your partner about the troubled teen industry? How do you explain it?  How can our partners support us?  If you'd like to send any Dear Abbys to the ladies, or just connect with them, please email LoveinSurvival@talktroubled.org as they'll be interviewing other Survivors and their spouses as well as Family/Marriage Counselors to help create dialogue for the dedication those that love us are desperate to provide.  Like Julianne says, if they love you, they'll get it.  If you ever feel like no one does, know that WE LOVE YOU #iseeyousurvivor P.S. per Laura's commentary on the Family Foundation School Truth Campaign; http://www.thefamilyschooltruth.com/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/troubled/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/troubled/support

READ THIS KANSAS CITY STAR UPDATE Thank you to everyone who attended and/or support the Right to Rights Rally in Stockton Missouri this past weekend. We will be uploading the rally in it's entirety shortly after the video feed is uploaded to the (anti) COH & Agape YouTube Channel. This episode includes both a BREAKING update on Circle of Hope as well as some BREAKING NEWS on Agape Baptist Boarding School & Ranch for Boys as reported by the Kansas City Star. If you have not yet caught up on the series that Star has been doing regarding multiple Lester Roloff / IFB "Troubled Teen Industry" behavior modification centers, deep dive and catch up. Agape's official response is included in this episode and they're correctly predict that Judy Thomas and the Kansas City Star are the next in line to join the lineage of investigative journalists who have secured Pulitzers for their part in exposing and closing abusive programs. How did the parents of the Agape boys not hear that as a cause for concern? Agape misquoted an ex-staff and Pastor, James Clidence, who will correct the attempt to discredit him himself in this episode. Head over to Preacher Boys Podcast for an upcoming full episode between the Good Pastor and Eric. Agape also attempted to bully trigger the "bitter boys" on the frontlines, forgetting that they're now men. Men who recognize plebian manipulations and refuse to be triggered by petty Troglodytes. Those men will respond for themselves. We are humbled to be a conduit and platform to project the voices of our brave Brothers who walk in the confidence that their Truth will not only serve the Self, but set multitudes of "others" free as we march forward. Also, just to tickle a few twinging taints, we've included a two minute moment from Agape's Live Feed last night (11/18/20). While many of us who were raised, reared, trained and trampled by "Toughlove" may not be personally concerned about the lack of basic resources the Othello boys were afforded in this clip - keep in mind that Agape is now federally authorized to receive alien children. So, pretty sure there are standards of care for youth under Federal care. How do ya'll feel about your tax dollars being used to detain these kids in an unlicensed, unregulated, unaccredited Baptist reform ranch that has decades of abuse charges and only relocated to Stockton in order to flee criminal charges in California in the first place. Who really cares about the boys? #iseeyousurvivor Who cares about Rachael Kellso? A woman in her 30s, adopted from the Philipinnes, until her adopted parents abdicated responsibility by paying for the abuse of the 7 siblings in Agape, COH and other Agape spawned programs until they aged out. However, Rachael was legally committed into the custody of Boyd Househoulder and spent over 13 years at COH until she was "removed so that we couldn't use her against them". Now she is missing and even her biological sister and her attorneys cannot find her. Won't anyone ask #whereisrachaelkellso??

#freeouryouth Trigger Warning: per usual, this episode will include descriptions of violence against children and delve heavily into the systemically racist foundation of United States fostercare This is (hands down) our favorite episode and we could not be more thrilled to release it from the vault it's been waiting in since July. We are soo grateful to Erin McGuinness for her invaluable education. Children's Rights began as a project of the New York Civil Liberties Union and, later, the American Civil Liberties Union, and in 1995 became an independent nonprofit organization. We have won landmark legal victories in Connecticut, Georgia, Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Washington, DC and Wisconsin and engaged in advocacy efforts that are changing the way child welfare is practiced in the United States. Children’s Rights is proving that failing child welfare systems not only can be fixed, but can be made to run well. Did you know that 53% of "black families" will be targeted and traumatized by a CPS intervention? We didn't either. It's time to face this Shadow and self educate. And if you happen to notice where we edited content out, please understand that we candidly discussed open legal cases and this is why we waited to release this episode - we just couldn't wait anymore. Our allies with Children's Rights will update us on the content we have to shh until then. So for those of you wondering what rights children have in the United States, join us.

Survivor & Advocate Lisa Spears, invites Survivors of the Troubled Teen Industry to a monthly peer support group via Zoom. Partners are welcome to join, but we ask that you be present in a support capacity. Sorry parents, staff, public, this one is not for you. Because of the nature of peer-on-peer pressure programming, the cure is in the cause and the light shines from the womb. We cannot learn to trust without experiencing safe relationships. Are you ready to try? Please remember that we are NOT the program. None of us. Please do not bring the program into this peer group. Let’s not use their lexicon. This is not The Game, feedback will not be tolerated. This is a come as you are safe space. Roll up a joint, cuss battle your favorite drowned sailor, please include all puppies. Please give Lisa Spears some love for this much needed offering of mental health support to our community. Give her a big round of applause for organizing a second November round for the Right to Rights Rally so that Survivors will have virtual peer support. And once again, the harmed become the healers and ask us to choose once again ‘if we have faith in our fellow wo/mxn?” ZOOM ID: 502 755 096 (no password) #iseeyousurvivor https://talktroubled.org/right-to-rights-rally-missouri/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/troubled/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/troubled/support

A year after she revisited her own Program (Spring Creek Lodge; WATCH on her YouTube), and just days after losing everything in the fires ravaging our country, Cadilina Deville cashed her last coins into her classic car gas tank and set across the country and through the desert to join the few Survivors who could make it out to Provo Canyon to protest with Paris Hilton on a weeks notice and a prayer.  Since we're moms and broke and couldn't transcendental meditate our way to Utah in time, we're grateful to have been kidnapped by our elder Survivor Sister and you're coming along for the ride.   The Troubled family would like to give a BIG Congratulations to Provo Survivor Courtney for protesting outside her vortex of torment and closing the door on that trauma, rising into her Survivor highness, and doing all this just in time to marry her soulmate. WTF Sister, can't wait to read your book. Definitely call in and let us know how you feel! We forgot what dopamine and her sero/oxy friends are like.   It was great to hear from Agape & Bethel Survivor, Allen Knoll! If you have not yet read his book Surviving Bethel, definitely prioritize resolving that. Also, the short for his upcoming documentary Bethel Boys is a definite cathartic trigger warning and we cannot wait for that project to be released!  We would like to apologize for the typical Troubling of technological audio derps, but we hope you already know that we're functioning in a barely functioning capacity. So we appreciate your patience and are always happy to accept tech donations. We bring this up because perhaps the most touching of interviews with an Ex Provo Boy is deeply swallowed by the speakers in the background. However, we're pretty sure Mikaela Shwer, director of The Kids are Not Alright captured the moment so we can all ugly sob together someday. To that Survivor Brother, we see you. We need Brothers like yourself on the frontline because our brothers walk the thinnest line between overcoming and overcame. Definitely reach out.   Sooo, we had the biggest squee moment when one of our idols (who is the inspiration for one of our favorite movies) calls out Amanda Househoulder in her interview with Cadilina. OMG we want to tell you but AHHH. We planted her as the first interview for many reasons and mostly because, patience, or lack thereof. So much to unpack but we'll shh.   On another note, but not entirely, respect to our Survivor Sisters who joined the psych, social psych, social work, fields as a result of being the subject of a social psychology experiment deliberate gone wronger than wrong. Laura Rouse is one of the most brilliant and supportive Survivors we've ever virtually met and of everyone that we didn't get to hangout with at the Provo Protest, this is the voice we heard pop on during editing where we were genuinely bummed out to have missed it. She lives in Hawaii y'all, the opportunities aren't plentiful.   Reminder that this was officially #BreakingCodeSilence 's first event and their coming out party if you will from a virtual social media campaign to a real life movement. They're working towards creating an organization and are already accepting donations through nonprofit partner NYRA (which you should have heard of otherwise you're missing too many episodes). So if you haven't already familiarized yourself with this campaign, their team and their mission, make sure you head over to breakingcodesilence.net and do not forget to sign their petition.   Speaking of Petitions, keep sharing Paris Hilton's Petition to Shut Down Provo Canyon. And yes Paris does make an appearance on the podcast but you'll have to listen to whole thing to find her cameo with Cadilina.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/troubled/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/troubled/support

This week is ALL EYES ON MI'KMA'KI National Week of Action #Treaty1752 (Cover Art by Indigenous Artist Hawlii Pichette aka Urban Iskwew @urban.iskwew www.urbaniskwew.com) As Colonization climaxes in Canada with open domestic terrorism and unabashed hate crimes against the Mik'maq fisherman in Nova Scotia, we are humbled to be entrusted with this message from Thunderchild. From birth, Marie Knockwood was appointed and anointed to dismantle the systems which dismantled her people since the invasions. Through generations of genocide and centuries of collective gaslighting from "white people", the Indigenous have exploited through their own silencing.

A little pre caffeinated rant on the continued & current hostile occupation of Turtle Island and the deplorable Assimilation of the Indigenous. From Pocahontas to the countless bodies of children left in unmarked graves littered around “residential school” remains. Residential schools REMAIN, just not openly racially motivated since the 90s. Assimilation is still happening. It’s October 12th, the perfect day to repay Turtle Island and her people for hosting us without consent. Educate, evolve, engage.

While we've been talking about our brothers quite regularly recently, we haven't spoken WITH one of them in far too long. So enjoy this 2hr special with Wes Good, as we make up for a loss in the masculine perspective. Whether you know Wes from the Family School, his real world life, or his band Deadwulf; you're about to know him a lot better. Consider this a conversational rant-esque catch-up. We follow a spectrum of shiny subjects into and out of the darkness including but not limited to: first/teen love, decking your dad while being "legally kidnapped", the impact of and impressions made by our captors, "what is Stockholm syndrome?", the glaring gender gap in representation of our Survivor brothers, talking with our parents about TTI etc. If you aren't already familiar with Deadwulf, definitely checkout their YouTube (in particular "Hancock" a song about the Family Foundation School). Don't forget to check out Wes Good on YouTube as well. You can connect with Wes on Facebook, and Deadwulf too. This magical link brings you to EVERYWHERE you can listen to Deadwulf on. Please support our Survivors, especially those who utilize their gifts to express the truth of our stories. All feedback always welcome! If you would like to hear more from Wes let us know.

If you're already in the anti-cool cult-kids club, then you're probably already following Pulitzer winning journalist, Jessica Miller on Twitter. Her current breakout series with the Salt Lake Tribune, is answering questions in Utah that generations of Survivors had previously dismissed as futile. The Tribune and their tenacious truth-seeker are definitely headed for yet another Pulitzer. Just the next, and certainly not the last, for both Jessica and the respectively revered legacy of journalists that put investigation first when it came to mass legal child abuse. If you haven't seen her LIVE #TribTalk with Breaking Code Silence founder, Jen Robinson, then click no further. Since the Tribune is a non-profit, and up against some serious obstacles in their quest for foraging facts (as detailed in this interview), please donate (if you can) HERE.

Please also support our sister Survivor and the generations of tortured youth that have overcame or have been overcome by the predatory perversion at Provo Canyon by signing THIS PETITION to shut it down now and forever, finally. To our Survivor community, please keep #breakingcodesilence. For some of us, the purpose in the pain then is the power to eradicate this perpetrator now and forever more.

Since Assimilation, which persists today, America has maintained a historic predatory preference for mass legal for-profit child abduction, trafficking, detainment, torture & murder. The modern Toughlove Troubled Teen Industry was created by “America’s Most Dangerous Cult”, Synanon and is a multi-billion dollar machine built on brainwashing millions of Americans.

TW: Per usual please heed the heavy trigger warning on ALL of our content. This episode discusses graphic topics such as institutional, religious, psychological, physical, mental, emotional, and sexual abuse of children. We also close out this episode with a reading of the final letter of our most recently stolen Agape Brother, to whom this episode is dedicated. We ask our Troubled family to support the family of Joe Barnett, who left this dimension early due to compound trauma from the torture he endured at Agape Boarding School for boys in Missouri (where Amanda Househoulder grew up as a Staff Child). Joe's wife is now a single mother, with no income, trying to survive during a global pandemic who has lost the love of her life and is now drowning under extreme debt due to a hefty trauma bill and funeral costs. If you are also financially struggling, we understand and just ask that you kindly assist in amplifying this GoFundMe and furthering the conversation of Mental Health Awareness. Exposing Circle of Hope is now a Nonprofit, and their first mission is to recruit trauma informed Mental Health professionals across the USA to provide free or low cost services to Survivors. We are just downright sick of burying our friends. If you would like to donate to this fund, please feel free to utilize their PayPal MyCircleofTruth@gmail.com That is also the email to send affidavits and offers of support for Rachael Kellso and her sister's attempt to find and reunify with her. Since our original coverage of Circle of Hope, Rachael was removed so that we could "no longer use her against COH". Currently she is missing and none of her siblings that we have spoken with know where she is, but all believe she is currently institutionalized. Rachael is a 30-something year old Filipino woman who was adopted after extreme abuse, subjected to further abuse, and then dumped for over 14 years in an abusive IFB Lester Roloff Cult Ranch. Certainly, someone out there can help us. The Survivors of COH invite you to join them in Missouri November 14th & 15th where they will be protesting against Agape, COH, and their complicit compatriots. The will be lining up, in person, at the Sheriffs to file complaints against the Househoulders as well as petitioning Missouri to rescind their State's Religious Exemption which shields child abuse in the name of G-d. Pure blasphemy if you ask us. If you feel inclined to financially support this mission, please see this GoFundMe PLEASE make sure to subscribe to our podcast on your favorite platform as well as rate (with review) if possible.
