I found out that my councellor was only halfway through her councelling diploma. i know that now theyve changed the whole way mm uk is run now but that doesnt change the fact that for years they ruined my life, i went in for help and seriously came out much worse of than when i went in. they left me on my own in a terrible way just because i could not be brainwashed. i hope eventually these homes do et shut down, doubt ill ever get compensation as i was, as far as i know, the only mistreated girl in the uk, and i do often wonder why,but i am a very strong willed character, so maybe they knew they wouldnt break me, who knows, but they were definitely NOT qalified or prepared to do the work they promised so prefoundly to do.

They took my JSA money of me each week even though they kept all the letters from me so i wasnt actually aware was recieving this money, hence i never had any spending money whilst i wa inn there. they kept all my mail from me, opened it without my coset to check who it was from. they performed excorcists on me, well they tried too, im not that easily brainwashed luckily. they never graduated me as they thought i was not ready and kicked me out with no where to live so i ended up living in accomodation on my own in quite a dangerous aea of bradford that i could not afford kos i didnt have a job.

I am sorry for those who did not and I pray that you will receive the support and care that you so rightly deserve.

I think Naomi and the other girls who went on TV are very brave. I however still believed that maybe if the staff saw me achieving post mercy I may be eventually considered good enough in their eyes.
Has any Mercy girl recieved a payout and no it is not enough for the lives they distroyed!!!
I know I have regained contact on Facebook with a few of the girls I “served time with”, any others out there I hope you are all healing over time xxx

Do they get the money from the sale of the land/home??? I think it should go to the girls. I am furious that they only get $1,050 when a lot of the girls were in Mercy Ministries between 6 and 12 months. They lost between $5,000 and $10,000 depending on the length of time there!
