Ok, I know I will get railed for this one, but here goes:

There's this girl I know from online, you know, just chatting around on a lazy day when I'm not playing any games and too lazy to mod.

Anywho, long story short: she says that she's regularly taken to this hospital thingamagig out in the middle of nowhere, aand tests are run on her and lots of other children. They get her sick or something, send her home, then go out to collect her again. Apparantly the "hospital" is in Louisiana (found out by road sign), and it does some sort of experiments such as eloctroshock, testing of new drugs on humans, etc. She says anyone who has tried to do anything about it wound up dead, but I don't know about that.
Aaaaanyway, normally I wouldn't consider something like this, but it's been going on for almost a year, so it bears at least minor investigating. I personally think she's a little bit nuts, and being taken to a real hospital, she just thinks it's a prison thing.

From her description, "outside it looks like a hospital in the middle of nowhere..i don't know any names..gawd you think their that stupid..inside its like a friggin prison you get a room with nothing in it except a mattress and the doors are only openable from the outside..it has about five hundred of these rooms..."

The organization apparantly does "a whole bunch of different **** to different kids...shock testing...seeing what their newest drug will do to the human body...all kinds of ****".


Anyone hear about this/find anything about mental help facilities or any such in that state?
This girl apparantly has no parents (lives with her older bro), and has a baby (was raped). Just in case her story is true, I won't say anything about her current location.


Anyway, I told her I'd ask around, see if I could find something, and the best place I know is here. I'd go to the FBI, but she said she's tried something like that, and they just laughed or something or another. I'm seeing if you guys could either A) Tell me where to look, or B) Have some info that might prove or disprove all this.

Anyway, thanks all!


EDIT: More information. Apparantly it's in/next to a bog, and near the Mississippi.

Probably a 50 year old guy with a beer belly, sitting in front of a computer and  living out his fantasy life.

[Unknown Target]

*Shrug* That is possible. But this has been going on for awhile, so that "guy" must be pretty low. Anyway, it bears investigating on the off chance that it is true, don't you think?

EDIT: And yes I do feel like a fool posting this, but I still think it's worth it, atleast to see if it's a lie or not. If it is, then I have been had and me and some other ppl have lost some of their free time, but if I'm right, then, well....

And anyway, I've always said, if you wanted something found, HLP has the best people who can do it

[pyro-manic]

Mind you don't step in the bull****....

Sounds a tad iffy to me. Do you actually know any facts about this person, or is she just a random net acquaintance? This kind of thing would be hard to keep quiet, and it's highly possible it's just someone taking the piss (the no parents plus rape baby thing is a bit ), but I dunno. I suppose you could get someone living in Louisiana to take a drive down by the river? Although that's probably a fairly large area to cover, so it could be tricky.

Oh, and be very glad an0n's not around atm

[Taristin]

I'm always doubtful of these stories...


What on earth could they expect *you* to do? You call it a bog, so you're probably in the UK......

[Unknown Target]

Yes, I am And she used that term, not me...altho I don't know any other name to call it by, and I'm American A swamp? Same thing?


Anyway...yes, the bull**** is so high it's baking in the sun, but I really want to at least prove it WRONG, rather than just dismiss it, you know?

[Taristin]

Ok... well, I've never heard an american call it bog, unless they were copying a Brit......  swamp, or wetland is what I usually hear...

[Falcon]

The question is: Why is she telling you this?

[Rictor]

erm, this is the closest I can think of, but its not even in the US.

Yeah, keep your bull**** alert on high, but if you want to check it out, by all means. Worst case scenario is you end up wasting some of your time and being naive. Oh well, that's life. If it were me, I'de try to find out any sort of identification at all: colour of uniforms, badges, length of drive from house to hospital (which can give you a radius to search wihin)...that sort of thing. So basically, keeping in mind that anyone who doesn't want to be found/identified is going to take certain precautions, but there is no such thing as perfect security.

That alone makes me think it's not on the level... how would you know it has that many rooms, even by estimate?

[Fineus]

Yeah... very suspicious. You'd think thought that someone would notice a large building in the middle of nowhere. Like everyone else has said - I'd take what she's saying with a pinch of salt. On the one hand she could be telling the truth and going through some quite nasty stuff... on the other hand she could not even be a "she".. just some nut-case with a keyboard.

Assuming she's telling the truth - what exactly does she expect you to do about it?

[Unknown Target]

Turns out Rictor found something interesting (thanks Rictor ).

http://fornits.com/anonanon/

Here's someting of interest, a forum for people who have been through "WWASPS", which basically amounts to quasi-prison camps for "troubled teens" all over the US and some of the more brutal ones being off shore (Mexico, Jamaica etc)

http://fornits.com/wwf/

Turns out these things might actually exist, no?

[vyper]

Considering the amount of these camps that apparently sprung up around American in the early 00's I wouldn't be surprised. Usually though it's more of a bootcamp approach than an electroshock approach.

The problem with these kinds of stories, is that they're usually bull****.

[Unknown Target]

True, but then there's the reality right there that should also be dealt with. (I have sent emails regarding those actual "boot camps" to CNN. There's no one better at snooping than the press I looked for contact info for PBS and ABC, but their websites are atrociously organized. )

Just what the ****..
After reading through that article, I don't really know what to say at all, all that comes to mind is that it's so unbelievable ****ed up.
I have a sudden urge to shout and scream just for the immense feeling of frustration I got after reading that (also wondering how I missed that thread.. was it long ago?).

After reading that, I'm almost inclined to believe that what this topic is about could be true
But who knows.. as said take it with a grain of salt.

[vyper]

Hell it might be true. Unfortunately there's not much UT can do about it bar incite the girl to rebellion, which may land him in one of those places.

[ShadowWolf_IH]

well....i would do it the easy way.  Get her number.  Don't call her, but sometime when she isn't expecting it, make a vcall, and then don't ask for her, ask for her brother.  then just talk to him.  It's been my experience that family won't let you bull**** around like this, let alone help you.  Unless they are the odd ones who thrive on this crap.  If she is being taken off, then i am sure that her brother can verify the absences.  I don't think he will, i think that he will laugh and make fun of her.  If he does verify it, then i would start digging.

On the other hand, she sounds liek a psycho....so when you do call, get a calling card, drive about an hour away, and call from a payphone.

[vyper]

Or the brother would cover for his parents for fear of being sent packing too.
