I was held at Reflections Academy between the ages of 15-17. In that time I witnessed and experienced horrific abuse that I am stuck dealing with to this day. in the form of severe & diagnosed PTSD.<\/p>\n

I watched Chaffin Pullan physically abuse girls on multiple occasions. Once he pulled a girl unprovoked around the floor by her hair, screaming atrocious things at her and being violent in front of all of us. Mickey Manning had full knowledge Chaffin had been showing girls pornography on his phone (myself included). She then punished us, saying it was our fault for looking when he showed.<\/p>\n

I was responsible for suicidal peers multiple times while here, meant to supervise them so they do not harm themselves- it was called “on hip”. When a girl ran away while I was asleep, Mickey Manning proceeded to explain, her possible death was my fault, I was 16.<\/p>\n

The seminars were a torture I can barely explain. We were forced to endure verified brainwashing and abusive methods. For typically two days at a time, we were deprived sleep and water. The windows were blocked so we could not tell the time. Two days of groups screaming in your face, all sense of identity is broken down. We lead through a group visualization in the midst of this, where we must pick who lives or dies in a life and death situation. The whole room goes around screaming inches from our friends faces “YOU LIVE” or “YOU DIE”, until there is one “survivor” left. We (the people who “died” in this simulation) then were forced to lay on the floor, and scream out our last words to our families before death.<\/p>\n

I was forced to physically fight a student once, for Chaffin Pullan’s entertainment.<\/p>\n

I have nightmares often, and much more. These people stole so many childhoods- even resulting in the death of two young girls. These people are horrific abusers. And as a survivor, I want only to spread awareness, and hold these people accountable.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":22158,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"acf":[],"cp_meta_data":{"_edit_lock":["1664459799:2"],"_edit_last":["2"],"_thumbnail_id":["22158"],"_fusion":["a:16:{s:25:\"show_first_featured_image\";s:2:\"no\";s:4:\"fimg\";a:2:{s:5:\"width\";s:0:\"\";s:6:\"height\";s:0:\"\";}s:17:\"post_links_target\";s:2:\"no\";s:7:\"bg_full\";s:2:\"no\";s:17:\"slider_visibility\";s:51:\"small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility\";s:12:\"main_padding\";a:2:{s:3:\"top\";s:0:\"\";s:6:\"bottom\";s:0:\"\";}s:15:\"content_bg_full\";s:2:\"no\";s:20:\"image_rollover_icons\";s:7:\"default\";s:9:\"bg_repeat\";s:7:\"default\";s:11:\"slider_type\";s:2:\"no\";s:9:\"wooslider\";s:1:\"0\";s:19:\"blog_page_title_bar\";s:7:\"default\";s:17:\"content_bg_repeat\";s:7:\"default\";s:13:\"posts_sidebar\";s:15:\"default_sidebar\";s:15:\"posts_sidebar_2\";s:15:\"default_sidebar\";s:14:\"sidebar_sticky\";s:7:\"default\";}"],"_fusion_google_fonts":[""],"fusion_builder_status":["active"],"elegant_typography":[""],"avada_post_views_count":["737"],"avada_today_post_views_count":["1"],"avada_post_views_count_today_date":["25-04-2024"]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.unsilenced.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22157"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.unsilenced.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.unsilenced.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.unsilenced.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.unsilenced.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22157"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.unsilenced.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22157\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.unsilenced.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22158"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.unsilenced.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22157"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.unsilenced.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22157"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.unsilenced.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22157"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
