  • Heartbreaking but informative

    It’s heartbreaking to hear what students suffered and still have to work through but it has been incredibly insightful and informative on how such systems work. I learned a lot for myself and to keep vigilant about signs of abusive systems.

  • Heart Breaking

    As a father of three kids it’s absolutely heartbreaking to find out kids were abused in what should of been a safe place. It’s also heartbreaking to see how our government has handled this. One incident in Lumsden and the province decides to take out sex education out of the schools. Yet our Premier ignores the voices of kids who were actually abused in a school…. I feel terrible for all those hurt and I applaud the strength of the voices on this podcast for coming forward and not giving up on l... more

  • I feel for all of you

    I just found the podcast and started listening because I have a friend that went to that school. I wanted to start listening as a way to show support for all of you as well as to follow the case as there has not been a lot of news lately.

  • Fellow survivor from Idaho

    I was subjected to an ACE indoctrination center from grade 7 till graduation in the early 80’s. Thank you for sticking up to these bullies and sharing your experiences with us. Whenever I see a homeless person I realize there is little justice because the only fitting justice for the monsters from these cults is to literally to have no other earthly possessions than what would fit in a shopping car.
