Anonymous’ Ascent and CEDU Testimony

1995-1996

For now, I’d just like to state that I got to experience every type of abuse from day one, to having to be hospitalized via emergency room due to malnourishment and dehydration, enduring literal torture I never knew existed in the United States, and for a while thinking that death would be better than what I was experiencing. Years later, I suffer vivid nightmares that are almost a played-back version of what I went through. I still have not moved on 100% over 20 years later. There is not enough that could be done to all of the staff so they understood what they subjected me to.
