April 20 2008 at 4:52 AM
I have done searches for people I was in Redemption Ranch with Bob Wills and Sam and his wife ran these also. I am 40 years old now I was there when I was 15. The amount of scarring on me is something I have not talked about since I left there.
I was in that hole in MISS BOB WILLS was no more than a despot if I were to see that bastard now Id paddle the hell out out him if not kill him . Im pretty much over it the nightmares went away in my 20s. Im a chronic alcoholic and I am sure bob wills had a hand in that.Ive done 3 years In a maximum security prison and 10 months at the ranch given the option to do one again Id do the three years They never broke me but mine was a whipped ass and a tortured soul .a boy from my hometown served his 18 months stayed out for 3 months and hung himself to death;more blood on the hands of the monster ,his brother asked me to explain asking if he would fight or if he was a punk;I didnt at the time know how to explain that his brother had been brainwashed;M getting help for drinking now if you need to talk you can call at 9856266597 patient no 48068

I was a pregnant girl in 1978 to 1979, the Barnwells were there then and every thing you all say about the home is true I know first hand, I have a daughter that was taken from me. would love to know what happen to her.
Nancy , I am trying to remember...there was a short girl with short brown hair. She went into labor @ 5 months.. NO WORKERS to be found.. Pam, Tissy and I helped this girl nancy as she miscarried... I dont know why I thought I heard that nancy was from alaska..
But who knows . We know now there was so much mystery and lies from the heads of this childrens abuse camps...Only God knows. Even thought I was brain washed. I finally didi meet the TRUE JESUS.. He is nothing like who was portrayed to me in that girls home.
I have been desperatly looking for oen of my good friends in there too. Her name was JUDY SNOW, she was from Indianapolis, Ill. I think..
Pam and took the still born and we barried and had a service for that lil baby on that property. NO ADULTS .. No one not even VIcki was around.. Oh man does that brings some stuff back. I think it was around the time that some girls actually were able to run away...
Dot came back and told us that God punished them for running and that they were killed by an 18 wheeler...
Thank for responding. I got off of fb way too mauch info flyin around for me... But I also have healed form all that trauma and dont want to relive it all the time...I am a minister and so God uses ALL things for our good.. at times I was unsure I would live thru those days...please stay in touch
