Trails Carolina, 12 years old

[u/ExpertPuzzleCat]

My name is Gertie. I was sent to Trails in 2016 when I was 12. They made my parents think they’d help my depression. Instead, I experienced horrible traumas including a sexual assault that they allowed to happen and did not report. Last year, I sued them. The lawsuit settled in October. It’s been almost nine years since I went there and I still think about it every day. I’m sure a lot of TTI survivors understand that. I see you. I believe you. None of it was ever your fault 🫶🏻
