I have been wanting to tell my story for some time however the owners of Sunset Bay Academy and Pacific Life Program threatened to murder me and my family when I was a teenager there and forced me to convince them I would not report their abuse.  I have come to learn that my family has been lying to me and working with the owners behind my back this entire time even many years after I was a teenager there and forced me into silence and worked together to sabotage every goal I had worked for in life and every new relationship I began in my adulthood while encouraging me to only associate with my abusers and exploiters and using psychological treatment as a disguise to keep me silenced.  This place is sinister and the operations of the administration is one you only think exist in horror movies. What happens here is so strange and disturbing when “troubled” teenagers are released they are not believed when they try to seek help. I have never encountered such base evil and dirty lowly human nature than when I was sent to Sunset Bay Academy in Mexico. This is my story and there are many others like it that have been silenced.

There is a lot that happened in SBA I have a hard time thinking about and talking about so I will do my best to at least get some things out.  Aside from the standard forced stripping and initiation done here, I have experienced and heard of abuse I know are not justifiable no matter what they say about the kids in their care.  The facilities are unsanitary and rooms they handcuffed students in all day and night were covered with dead bugs, literally thick and covered to an extent I had not seen before.  Students clean the facilities every day and clean before parents arrive for tours.  There is a front office area where the staff and administration have access to and keep their offices that look like a completely different building than the rest of the actual facility.  The front office is nice and clean and looks professional and is only for show for parents, students unless they were upper level or having coerced sex with staff never spend time there and the actual living quarters and school look very different and families are not exposed to those parts as much.

Sex abuse is very common here but the owners know parents do not believe the kids, they downplay everything, and pretend it doesn’t happen when they are also part of it.  Schooling is nonexistent here, and they deprive students of school as punishment.  Students can also be pulled into isolation and punishment for any reason such as doing too well in the program or any accusation under the sun the staff want to come up with. It is crazy making and it works because you get a lot of low self esteem kids as a result at the end of their stay at SBA.  Would not recommend but there are terrible parents in the world and programs like SBA are exactly for them and know how to appeal to them.

The owners and staff see the children as their entertainment and sexual conquests.  Underage girls are forced to watch boys have diarrhea in intervention, the isolation punishment room and treated like a dog.  The owners silence the abused students and keep them out of sight from the rest of the school so nobody knows what happens.  They take kid’s money and then cut their schooling so they rob kids of high school and college educations then turn them homeless when they turn 18.  I have seen the director of the program bully and make fun of a kid who was afraid of being homeless because they were about to turn 18 and SBA had done nothing to help. Adults who were teens at this program suffered homelessness now as a result of having their opportunities and high school education stripped from them, trapped inside these torture facilities until they turn 18, then thrown out onto the street by SBA with no care for where they end up or provisions. They work to turn many kids into the marginalized statistics and set people up for failure even sabotaging peoples life goals unless those kids kissed up to them hardcore.

Boys and girls get sexually abused here and the staff who promise they are responsible to the parents, are the child predators.  They bully kids into silence and steal their money.  It is not right.

The staff and owners who don’t have coercive sex with the underage teens here are in the minority.  I don’t understand how it is still okay for these people to keep getting away with very  illegal criminal behavior while pretending to be normal and good.                         

They put all the lower level and new kids on a rule that allowed no eye contact, communication, no mirrors, and no talking to each other at all so even in rooms no one was allowed to talk to each other and if anyone made eye contact they were punished. Kids went months to years here without even seeing their reflection or a mirror.

The owners and staff constantly get high and drunk on the job and get their upper level pets high as well while keeping it hidden from the rest of the students who get punished and shamed for their past “nonworking” behaviors such as partying and teen things parents hate.

There is a lot of disgusting things that happen here and the owners and staff have absolutely no plans to actually do anything they promise.  I asked for help with college preparation every day and was refused it and told I did not deserve it because I was in their program because I was bad and spoiled.

They deliberately sabotaged my college education and refused to allow me to have my high school transcripts after I left, unless I paid thousands of dollars in a bribe. Keep in mind I was a teenager trying to get on with my life and adulthood. I had to contact the computer school program they use directly for it which delayed my college plans and did not help me with my future and education plans at all, instead they purposely got in the way. I don’t even know these people I never even knew the owners yet they continued to stalk me and stalk me with their student pets for years after I had left to the point I was forced to delete my personal profiles.  They told my mother to constantly encourage me to get rid of my social media, get rid of my friends from home, get rid of anyone who cared, and fall into a deep depression any time I was working on my goals such as in school or adjusting back to a normal life outside of a program and as a young person. 

This is only a sugar coated and light version of my experience at this disgusting human trafficking program.  There is a lot that goes on that needs to be investigated deeper and the lasting damage they cause.
