Redditor Speaks out to /r/troubledteens about his experience in Horizon Academy
“I went to a WWASP called Horizon Academy in Amargosa Valley Nevada. I had just turned 13 and was there for over 2 years. After I was there for a few weeks to a month I started being raped by a few students. This lasted for months. I tried to get help from the director but I was ignored. I thought that it was normal. Eventually I got to see the local sheriff and gave him a report and told him the whole story. I never heard back from him for weeks until the director told me he told my dad, sheriff and every one else that I made the whole thing up. Before I go on, I do NOT want to continue any legal stuff.
Last night I submitted my story to /r/rapecounseling because I’ve been having excessive flashbacks and night terrors and I felt i need to get it off my chest. (i’ll put what I said below.) A few hours ago my dad went through my history and found that I submitted that. He was furious. He said he was going to send me back. And I heard him talking to someone on the phone. Im panicing I cant go back there. PLEASE DO NOT DO ANYTHING WITH THE POLICE OR ANY ORGANIZATION. If my dad really isnt going to send me somewhere and the cops call, I’m fucked. I just want to know what to do, or leave what happened to me before I get brainwashed again.”

If you are a Horizon, Casa by the Sea or Cross Creek Survivor please comment on this article or submit your full testimony to WWASP Survivors to show this kid’s father he is not making this up, that there are many survivors out there who experienced the same things and that Youth Foundation Inc (formerly Horizon Academy) is the same abusive organization it has always been!
The more comments/ reports we can collect the more chance we have to convince this kid’s father not to send him back.

Please private message me, my son was there the same time as you and I know he had the same experience but will not share it with me. My heart goes out to you, I am sorry to hear this horrible story. My son’s father put him in there and I fought to get him out for over a year.
I’m a Darrington kid. I wish I could help you!! I am so sorry!!!
I was sent to Horizon Academy in 2007 when I was 14 two weeks away from being 15 I went home after 22 horrendous months. I wish every one of these facilities would be shut down. They’re a living nightmare.
