I'm also thinking you might be someone that gave out money above the boiler room

Dud u work with someone with red hair and a white jeep that lost the hood on the highway when it was new??

I worked there
A lot of kids that were there had problems that they were labeled with not actual problems that they had and all the therapists answers were the same. "Once you can admit your problems you can move on" once I admitted what they wanted me to admit I left. That then labeled me as a danger to society. after some pretty intense testing and court orders I had that label removed. So the worst of the worst were not all the kids there. The things that happened not all staff saw. I will admit that there were a lot of stuff that cared but the things that people remember most are the ones that did not.

Did u drive the blue bus? I'm trying to think of the boiler room. Someone did show it to me once. I recently put a bid to remove it when they were doing the demo

No. I'm not Mary in OT. I'm a male.

Boiler room makes me think of someone with the initials M.B. with blond hair. Does making cookies or ice cream fit in with you?

Yes, Dennis I remember you. My memories of you are being with Mr.
Berube a lot. You were a good kid. We got along well.
Read my comments under Auditoreum.
Let's see how good your memory is. I'll give you a clue as to who I am.
"boiler room"

I worked there,
I don't know who you are, but, you have as hell of a nerve saying we were the worst kids in the state and that diud we forget we were in a mental hospital, and that is why we there. Don't tell me you had to think saftey all the time, that is bullshit, a lot of the staff purposely set kids off cause it was a high to them to throw them down on the cold cement floor pull our arms behind our backs and cause us pain that was totally uncalled for and then throw us in a 2x2 seclusion room and lock the door and leave us in there for hours on end and let us piss all over ourselves. I am sure you were an abuser and you are lying about your position there. And they did not always warn us that they would put us in seclusion, they knew exactly what buttons of ours to push to set us off, you really are a horrible and mean person for saying this kind of stuff, I am sure if one your children were there you wouldn't be saying this stuff, I pray you don't have any children cause I feel really bad for them cause you probably abuse them. We weren't mental, we were kids with problems, but, I guess since you are the adult then you had the right to judge us and til this day you are still judging us. It wasn't our decision to act the way we did, we got set up and you know it. You talked to the staff about us all the time and they cared about us, bullshit, there were only a couple who did, you must be related to William Gaebler, or Thomas Heathwood who ran the place, or maybe you are Thomas Heathwood who lives in Newton,Ma. You drugged us, raped some of us, beat the shit out of some us, and got away with it, so don't you dare stand there and act like we were the problem, no we weren't, yes we did some bad things but, we didn't deserve the treatment we got, thorazine cocktails, shots of god knows what, rip our clothes off if we said we wanted to die or kill ourselves and leather restraint us to the metal bed in the seclusion room on a green rubber mat, and not even cover us up. I don't know how you live with yourself, we got drugged so we would be calm all the time, we got in trouble for every little thing we did, we were fucking kids and did the normal things kids our age did and didn't deserve the shit sandwich that you and the other staff members gave us. No one was in there for murder, so you are lying on that, I know that for a fact, I have been investigating the treatment that we as kids got, why kids were in there and if there were any kids that murdered anyone, they went to a juvinielle detention hall or lock up, not Gaebler, so shut your mouth up cause you are just talking shit. You are a poor excuse for a human being.

Atleast send me a E-mail and let me know. I will keep it to myself if you like, but I would love to hear from you and who you are.

I worked at Gaebler from 1980-1992 in a non-direct care capacity. You seem to forget you were in a mental hospital that housed the worst kids in the state. We even had murderers there.
They had to think safety all the time. What were they supposed to do when you kids went off. They always warned you before they put you in seclusion. It was your decision to act the way you did.

I talked to staff all the time about you kids and they cared
about you.
Of course, there were some bad ones but they got rooted out and fired.
I was there when they planned activiities for you and saw how much they cared.

yes there were sick ass people, I don't know how they live with themselves, knowing all the things they did to innocent children, just makes me soooooo mad to think that we could have died in that place and they wouldn't have even cared....

Boiler1220
I do too, it makes me wonder what everyone else went thru, did they have it as bad as us or did they have more priviledges then we did, were they allowed to have visitors, things like that....
