I was there back in the 1980's on ward E then again on ward A. They have records for gaebler (not dss records) at the main number to massachusetts mental health. Its in boston downtown you have to put in a written request and state why you want the records (put for new shrinks records) then they will send you a letter letting you know if your approved to get them and how much they are going to charge you. Sorry I don't have the exact address or phone #. I got mine about 5 yrs ago + I haven't been in mass since 1999. But I think they should have a website too. Mdmh(massachusetts dept. Mental health is who has the records.

Hello, when were you there? I was there 1982-19836, the ist room on the right is a boys room, and you are so right about the gym, and the tv room on Ward D. OMG!! I had the best time in that tv room with my boyfriend, we had the other kids on the ward look out for staff members so we could make out, it wasn't that often that they had the staff door open to the tv room so we lucked out. We used to play dodge ball a lot in the gym on our floor and just before we left we actually had a dance in the gym, I did meet the best friends there, meaning the kids,. I hope you are doing well......

Hello, sorry it took me so long to get back to you. NO you canbasically contact any DSS office, but, it would be best if you contact the one that you were dealing with at the time of your stay there, also just to let you know, if u attened public scools at all after you left there then they will have a copy of your records from Gaebler as well. SInce the place has been closed, you will probably have a hard time getting them, but, it's the law and they have to give them to you, and if they say that you were never a patient there then that means they burned all the records or something, cause I tried getting them directly from Gaebler and they said they had no such patient by my name and Gaeble was till open when I tried to get them. soi I went through DSS, all I got those was papers stating I was there,nothing from Gaebler itself, I think they broke the law as we know they did a million times, but, I think they destroyed everyone's records which is against the law, I am trying to see another way of getting them. I actually just went to Gaebler today, cause I do live in Waltham and I went inside and OMG!! it's so scary, I toook pictures, I will try and put them on here if I can figure out how to do it....

I don't think that you know me, I was on Ward D, from 1982--1983, my boyfriend at the time was very strong though, he was on Ward B when he first got there and then went to Ward D when he became a pre-teen. What is your name? I am Michelle Woods, and I just went there today to try and get some clousure in my life and let me tell you, the place is so friggin scary, I knew exactly where I was went I went in, I did take some pictures and I will post them as soon as I figure out how to do it on here. I actually am still in contact with my ex-boyfriend, we are best friends. I have seen him a few times in the past couple months. All the walls have writing on them, and all the rooms are pretty damaged, but, you can make out the cafeteria, which is almost arcoss the door to the stairs that go upstairs to the Wards. I saw all the school rooms, the seclusion rooms on my Ward, and my bedroom on the Ward I was on. It's just so erie, and I can't believe that my mother put in there, I didn't need that kind of structure, actually none of his kids needed that kind of structure, getting locked in the shower, and the building,and when it was lock down all the bedroom doors would get locked. The staff members that were there when I was there, was, Willy,Suzanne,Jack,Melodee,Harvey,Joanna and a couple others that I can''t remember. I hated all the Dr's there, they always made me feel like there was something wrong with me physically cause I was overweight, and the pysche Dr's were crazy, I think they were worse then us kids, they made me out to be such a off the hook child, that had such a behavioral problem that I needed to be locked up. And they would give us medicine to keep all calm, I can't remember the name of it, but, it was like a thorazine. It's just horrible and an inhumane place for children, I man jails aren't even like this place. I hope that someday they tr this building down, cause I live in Waltham and I have most of my life and I drive by there all the time and it just brings back horrible memories. I hope that you are doing well in your life considering being here in that place, I am married, with 2 beautiful girls and I have a wonderful husband. Thank God for him...
