While we've been talking about our brothers quite regularly recently, we haven't spoken WITH one of them in far too long. So enjoy this 2hr special with Wes Good, as we make up for a loss in the masculine perspective. Whether you know Wes from the Family School, his real world life, or his band Deadwulf; you're about to know him a lot better.
Consider this a conversational rant-esque catch-up. We follow a spectrum of shiny subjects into and out of the darkness including but not limited to: first/teen love, decking your dad while being "legally kidnapped", the impact of and impressions made by our captors, "what is Stockholm syndrome?", the glaring gender gap in representation of our Survivor brothers, talking with our parents about TTI etc.
If you aren't already familiar with Deadwulf, definitely checkout their YouTube (in particular "Hancock" a song about the Family Foundation School). Don't forget to check out Wes Good on YouTube as well.
You can connect with Wes on Facebook, and Deadwulf too.
This magical link brings you to EVERYWHERE you can listen to Deadwulf on.
Please support our Survivors, especially those who utilize their gifts to express the truth of our stories.
All feedback always welcome! If you would like to hear more from Wes let us know. Please subscribe, rate & write a review to make sure that others will find us as well.

Agitating Agape

READ THIS KANSAS CITY STAR UPDATE
Thank you to everyone who attended and/or support the Right to Rights Rally in Stockton Missouri this past weekend. We will be uploading the rally in it's entirety shortly after the video feed is uploaded to the (anti) COH & Agape YouTube Channel.
This episode includes both a BREAKING update on Circle of Hope as well as some BREAKING NEWS on Agape Baptist Boarding School & Ranch for Boys as reported by the Kansas City Star. If you have not yet caught up on the series that Star has been doing regarding multiple Lester Roloff / IFB "Troubled Teen Industry" behavior modification centers, deep dive and catch up. Agape's official response is included in this episode and they're correctly predict that Judy Thomas and the Kansas City Star are the next in line to join the lineage of investigative journalists who have secured Pulitzers for their part in exposing and closing abusive programs. How did the parents of the Agape boys not hear that as a cause for concern?
Agape misquoted an ex-staff and Pastor, James Clidence, who will correct the attempt to discredit him himself in this episode. Head over to Preacher Boys Podcast for an upcoming full episode between the Good Pastor and Eric.
Agape also attempted to bully trigger the "bitter boys" on the frontlines, forgetting that they're now men. Men who recognize plebian manipulations and refuse to be triggered by petty Troglodytes. Those men will respond for themselves. We are humbled to be a conduit and platform to project the voices of our brave Brothers who walk in the confidence that their Truth will not only serve the Self, but set multitudes of "others" free as we march forward.
Also, just to tickle a few twinging taints, we've included a two minute moment from Agape's Live Feed last night (11/18/20). While many of us who were raised, reared, trained and trampled by "Toughlove" may not be personally concerned about the lack of basic resources the Othello boys were afforded in this clip - keep in mind that Agape is now federally authorized to receive alien children. So, pretty sure there are standards of care for youth under Federal care. How do ya'll feel about your tax dollars being used to detain these kids in an unlicensed, unregulated, unaccredited Baptist reform ranch that has decades of abuse charges and only relocated to Stockton in order to flee criminal charges in California in the first place.
Who really cares about the boys? #iseeyousurvivor
Who cares about Rachael Kellso? A woman in her 30s, adopted from the Philipinnes, until her adopted parents abdicated responsibility by paying for the abuse of the 7 siblings in Agape, COH and other Agape spawned programs until they aged out. However, Rachael was legally committed into the custody of Boyd Househoulder and spent over 13 years at COH until she was "removed so that we couldn't use her against them". Now she is missing and even her biological sister and her attorneys cannot find her. Won't anyone ask #whereisrachaelkellso??

Join US & Stop UHS
Troubled
04/21/21 • 84 min
UHS (owner of Provo Canyon) is currently under a 5 year Federal Observation Probation due to a recent $117 million settlement with the Department of Justice so that, even though they were guilty over everything below, they can continue to extort our tax dollars.
"The government alleged that between January 2006 and December 2018, UHS facilities admitted as patients federal healthcare beneficiaries who were not eligible for inpatient or residential treatment because their conditions did not require that level of care, while also failing to properly discharge appropriately admitted beneficiaries when they no longer required inpatient care. The government further alleged that UHS facilities billed for services not rendered, billed for improper and excessive lengths of stay, failed to provide adequate staffing, training, and/or supervision of staff, and improperly used physical and chemical restraints and seclusion. In addition, UHS facilities allegedly failed to develop and/or update individual assessments and treatment plans for patients, failed to provide adequate discharge planning, and failed to provide required individual and group therapy services in accordance with federal and state regulations." Full Department of Justice Public Statement
Even though we all know exactly who UHS is, they are not only surviving, but thriving.
Currently, UHS has finalized an application to expand in Oregon. Survivors & Supporters Assemble.
The public is invited to submit "comment" to Oregon as they decide whether or not to approve a 50 million dollar UHS expansion (NEWCO). PLEASE organize, activate and amplify to recruit mental health and human rights organizations to submit public opposition to this notoriously abusive and fraudulent company from further causing harm to Oregonians. There's a reason the OHA rejected their previous application, and sure promises of a blood money dump into the local economy is not enough to pay for the silence of those they've harmed. As an individual, if you have personal experience with UHS, please also submit comment. We highly recommend posting a public testimonial on YouTube so that public awareness can reach a critical mass. However you choose to advocate, please remember that in order for your public statement to be officially counted and effective in Oregon, it MUST be submitted via the contact information below.
To the care of Pamela Krecklow [email protected]
OHA
800 NE Oregon Street, Suite 465
Portland, OR 97232
We highly recommend checking out CCHR (Citizens Commission on Human Rights) International's public comment HERE for an excellent summary of advocates concerns AND the perfect example of what Oregon needs from organizations opposing.
Our favorite part about the hearing (included in this podcast) is that the "local allies" UHS cites are not only present in the public hearing, but in OPPOSITION. It says a lot when all your supporters (with one exception) are your employees or your paid Goon/Transporter/Kidnapper.
Please rate/write review for Troubled wherever you cast your pods (in particular on itunes) so that other allies can find us.
UHS is a GIANT in the troubled teen industry, it is imperative that they not be allowed to expand their empire.
May the force be with us #nomoresurvivors

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Black Trans Youth Abducted in San Francisco
San Francisco, CA - On March 7, 2022 at around 11:30pm, a Black transwoman was abducted near Fisherman's Wharf. Isa Dessalines is described as a Black transwoman around 5'9" tall. a thin build, medium-length locs, and 20 years of age. She was further described as potentially wearing black pants and a black sweater. Her last known residency was at Hotel Caza, near the site of her disappearance, located at: 1300 Columbus Ave. San Francisco. CA 94133.
While on the phone with her friends on March 7, 2022 at 11:30pm, they were able to hear a car engine, a car door closing, a struggle between Dessalines and a man, in which Dessalines was heard saying, "Okay, okay, I'll get in." Later that night in a very short voice message, Dessalines was heard sobbing saying, "I don't want to die," while a man's voice yelled "shut up," in the background multiple times. At 12:30am, a case was filed with the San Francisco Police Department through Officer Samcon Hung, who did the initial intake and missing persons report in San Francisco.
Dessalines' last location was pinged on March 8, 2022 at 4:19pm, traveling in an unknown direction on the 880 freeway. The last contact Dessalines had with loved ones was through multiple calls, each lasting under 30 seconds, on March 8, 2022 around 4:54pm. During these calls, she stated she had jumped out of a moving vehicle while on the highway; detailed being in pain and a state of confusion; and agreed to call 911. Loud surrounding background noises of cars passing at high speeds were heard on the call.
On March 8, 2022 at 6:30pm, the Oakland Police Department found her phone covered in blood
at the Planned Parenthood located at: 8480 Enterprise Way, Oakland, CA 94621. The phone was found with a significant amount of blood leading to the entrance and back to the street, where the droplets disappeared. Police suspect this means she was stumbling while injured and entered an unknown vehicle or the vehicle of those who abducted her - her current status and location is unknown.
Dessalines was being stalked by a man while staying in the Tenderloin district in San Francisco during the week of February 27, 2022. On the night of March 1, 2022/early morning of March 2, 2022, a physical altercation between the man and Dessalines occurred. It is unknown whether those that abducted her are affiliated with this case. Dessalines is new to the Bay Area and has no known family contacts in Oakland. An Emergency alert is incoming and Isa Dessalines will be categorized as a high-risk missing person. Her case number is 220153598
If you have seen Dessalines or have more information on where she might be, please contact:
SFPD #: (415) 553-0123
OPD #: (510) 238-3455
