Nirinjan, thank you for the sentiment and I very much appreciate your kind words. Nobody could have helped, we were all terrorized by the same monsters, I was just lucky enough to garner special attention from them and others.
Thank you Prem also.

I hope this doesn’t violate the request not to contact but I want to say that I remember Singh Singh and completely validate your story and experiences and saw it happening in India and in Herndon. I’m sorry I didn’t help. I have thought about you quite a bit over the last 30 years. I’m sending you love and hope that you’ve gotten some support in dealing with your trauma xoxo

In reply to MPA parent. When my father came to visit me in India, he asked if I was OK, if I wanted to come home. I was too afraid to say yes, take me home. So they left me there for another year. He was right there and I couldn't say anything. I was 8 years old and no longer trusted adults, not even my own father.

I am so grateful that my husband, at the time, brought my son home after 2 weeks.

I am so so sorry for what you had to endure. Words cannot describe.

Much love and healing to you and to all the survivors.

Absolutely horrifying! And the students’ code of silence and fear of snitching was so drilled into them that we parents didn’t hear about most of the abuse until years later.

I am not sure there is a way to convey the overwhelming rage that fills me reading these modern day stories of abuse at the hands of the school and 3HO. And this one isn’t as terrible as one I read a couple weeks ago. The fact that there are children the same age as my children reporting this sort of life altering abuse is so fucked up. My mama heart can’t take it! It’s been nearly 40 years since the first batch of us were sent to India (and longer than that since rampant child abuse and child swapping started) and this shit is still happening!!!! THIS IS NOT OK!

This is horrifying. Evil is not too strong a word for this.

HI, I’m a newspaper reporter at The Santa Fe New Mexican. I recently wrote a story about the Olive Branch report etc. I tried to get local victims to go on the record for my story but didn’t have much luck. If anyone is interested in sharing their story with me for a follow up feel free to contact me at phaywood@sfnewmexican.com. Thank you, Phaedra Haywood
