All of the children in my family were seriously abused and at least 4 of them, possibly 5 ended up with mental illness as a direct result of that abuse and societal and medical ignorance of how deceit, abuse and other forms of denial of truth and justice to children affect the brain. I do not know how I managed to remain sane except that I was separated from the family at about age 3-4 never to see them again until I was 12. <br />None of us talk and they do not speak of the abuse so I can't tell why they are ill or what they need to overcome so I could help them. <br />I never liked how he was when he came home from this place. He only ever seemed to get more and more withdrawn and I do not think that was the disease. It is my opinion that his mental state then and now is almost entirely created by medication. He is beyond help now but could have been helped with proper therapy as a teenager.

But my knowledge of the situation is the Essex County Sheriff's Department used it as a practicing site for hostage situations and various other training scenarios...
