Forced medications, lost childhood, but today everyone knows her name! – Story Of The Day!

As a teenager, she began to push back. She skipped school, snuck out at night, and searched for freedom wherever she could find it. At just fourteen, she was groomed by a teacher—an experience that further blurred boundaries and trust. When her parents discovered her kissing an adult man, they panicked. Convinced she was spiraling out of control, they made a decision they believed was protective.

They sent her to a “troubled teen” boarding school in Utah.

Years later, she would describe that decision as the turning point that fractured her childhood. In documentaries and interviews, she has called the facility “the worst of the worst.” What happened there, she says, was not discipline or rehabilitation—it was abuse.

She has described being forced to sit for hours staring at a wall, screamed at, threatened, and physically harmed. Staff members, she alleged, were accustomed to humiliating children and violating their privacy. Strip searches were routine. Students were forced to take unidentified medications that left them exhausted, numb, and disconnected from themselves.

“It felt like I was going crazy,” she later said.
