He is quite aware of the abuse I told him and he mocks me. We should be bringing this to national news. Fuck these people!

If anyone wants to join me...I'm writing a book. If anyone wants to join me. The Project is called Spare The Rod. It's goals are to not only expose these schools for the terrible abuse they have committed against children (one of them being me). Often we have PTSD as I do and anxiety issues and night terrors. Those are very real and fuck your head up bad. Anyways reach out to me via email brettwilliamharper@gmail.com or brettwilliamharper@outlook.com I just hope to get some statements together about all of these abusive schools and their long term effects on kids, expose those still working in them and the transport agencies, one of which my parents own, that are profiting off of human suffering shutdown. I want them all shutdown. I want the media on this. This is a story people need to hear.

I was enrolled from 01/15/2014 - 06/26/2015 (18 months) in the current location in stockton MO. Although my experience was not a rugged and rough or "more hardcore" to say the least, than those from many previous years before me, even in such recent day in age, it was a very Life changing experience, and not for the better. To name off some facts; yes, kids are beaten and manipulated and even discriminated by staff. yes, 90% of the time, your parents are lied to about your children and their progress in the program and about the true things that happen while they are there. Yes, children are neglected according to their rank, (usually being grey shirt or lower) physically, psychologically, and very much emotionally. i do know its 2018 and "gangs" are nothing like they used to be, but being in agape, you are mentally forced to join a "gang" or "clique". On a personal account, i felt the necessity to join one of these in order to "survive". With personally witnessing physical, mental, and emotional abuse, from staff to student, i of course did not want this to happen to me. But nevertheless, it did anyways. I then went into a "survival of the fittest" mode. I even recall very clearly, a staff member demanding a student to beat the sh*t out of another student for snitching on him. My worst memory is when I was in the dorm floor in a bunk in the side wall where you cant really see anything when the lights are off, and the guys surrounding me would beat me with socks filled with miscellaneous items. I didnt even say names or when it happened,but when brought forward to a staff member, he told me "Looks like you slipped in the shower or something". I got that same a** whoopin for 12 months and not a single staff member did a d*mn thing about it. I still have the same scars on my sides and back and all from things breaking my skin so bad that i needed stitches. i even recall a chiseled toothbrush end being penetrated into my calf while sleeping. So Being at agape taught me 2 major life lessons. 1. if i have the worlds worst kids, ill have better results in improved behavior and lifestyles by leaving them stranded in the bay area in cali, then sending them to agape, and 2, how not to be a b*tch and take an *ss whoopin.

It was a cult and messed my head up considerably. I am a Christian and live a healthy Christian Life style now, but went down a hard road after leaving that school. I seen kids severally beaten, broken bones ect. I was beaten, I was forced to eat cereal with bugs in it. I was scared for my life every day there. I have many stories about that place that I won't go into. I think it was 94 I was there. I remember the fire department coming and first shutting it down cause we were locked in a barracks with no way to get it in case of fire. There was a laser in the hall way that went off if you went off if you went to the bathroom. Every one would have to get up and wait for you till they can go back to bed. That meant that the kids would beat you the next day. One kid peed in the post of his bunk bed that was hollow cause he was scared to wake everyone at night. One day we had to clean it area and his bunk was lifted and pee flowed out. He was beaten badly, I felt so bad for that kid.
