  • I was a resident of this home and what these kids are saying is true. I was 13 when I lived there and am 41 now. I still have emotional scars from this place. I'm so glad the children are finally being heard.

  • I was there and if not for them I would be lost. I was there from 87-90 and i had no abuse and I ate regularly. I saw no abuse. The only thing I saw was a bunch of kids like me who was sent there cause we were rebellious and were a problem. If you were a perfect child then be mad at your parents cause they lied to get you in! At this point GROW THE F___ UP! You are only in place you allow yourself to be in. If you still believe in God then that should be your comfort. Let God deal your problems

  • Ok so this is an old clip. I was taken I guess in the third raid. Did I want to go? No. I begged my now gay step father to return me which he did the day after. The Fountains have always been a family to me. Did I get licks? Of course I did when I deserved them. If it was not the Brother Fountain I have a feeling something bad would of happen to me.

  • The kids that usually went and hung at Fountains, were the chosen few of Fountains and Owens', us others kissed his ass to avoid beatings, until we realized that, he didn't like that either. There were a lot that went on at Bethel that still hasn't come out and may never, some of us do not like to talk about it. I hate to see suckass Fountainites act as if it were a good place. It may have been for some but for others it was hell!

  • @DeborahsSong Actually the "Torah" demands the parents to "Stone" their children when they are dissobedient. Thank God they didn't discipline like that today. Brother Fountain used to come down to the dorm and ask some kids to come back and hang out at his house with his family and play board games. I was one of these kids that would go and play chess with him. That doesn't sound much like an abusive enviroment.

  • @slinkybrown I would suggest you read the original Hebrew transliteration for "correction". It simply means disciplining in a figurative sense includes rebuke, chastisement, and administions. It also means reasoning together, arguing, and instruction. A fourteen year old child does not need to be spanked to the point of bruises because they are capable of reasoning and to be instructed. Whatever if you feel you were never abused then fine other children were.

  • I was in the video but Im not Baldino

  • @DeborahsSong Im glad you are a strong fan of the Holy Bible, and that tells me you are a mature human being that can be reasoned with. So this is my quote--- Proverbs 23:13-14" Withhold not correction from the child: for if you beat him with the rod, he shall not die. You should beat him with the rod, and shall deliver his soul from hell". Your brother got spanked with a switch, yelled at, forced to read the bible, ran laps like the rest of us. Yeah it really sucked, but no child abuse.

  • @slinkybrown Slinky making assumptions about my "political" beliefs has nothing to do with the facts and evidence. The facts and evidence show clear CHILD ABUSE period. Beating, abusing children is not caring it is violence, brainwashing, and harms them. Jesus said you are better off committing suicide for harming the little ones.

  • @DeborahsSong My guess is you are probably a bleeding heart liberal who feels children are just misunderstood, just needing more love. One of the boys sent there that would frequently beat his grandmother who was raising him because he put his mother in the hospital; he just needed more love.

    Wise up Deb, everthing isn't as Rosey as it seems. There is a need for a place of last resort, that cares more about teaching kids character and how to be outstanding citizens rather than criminals or bums
