i was severly abused and physically abused at Elmore academy in elmore minnesota and i was witness to all the other boys and girls who were physically abused also. i have tried about three different times to report this child abuse from the staff to the police in minnesota but the police are refusing to take my report. none of the staff has gotten arrested yet. i was 17 years old on 2, 29, 2009 when i got forcibly sent to Elmore Academy in Elmore Minnesota in the United states of America. i was being kidnapped by the juvenile court system and wrongfully locked up for no reason. i was being abusively controled by a abusive social worker that locked children up in bad places where they get abused. her name is Roxanne Anderson and she severly abused me and use the court system to hurt me and for no reason. my abusive social worker from pine city pine county MN lied to the judge to get me locked up. and the dumb abusive judge i had said he was locking me up for yelling at my tsa foster mother and disrupting my placement once which it was inapropriate to place me in tsa foster homes in the first place and they were abusing me. and the judge knew i was being abused and he wanted me abused. i was only 15 when i got locked up and i have been locked up since age 15 to age five months after i turned 18. i was suppost to be placed in a regular foster home because i reported to the lock up staff that i was being severly abused by my father and i reported it to my guardian at litum and P.O at age 15 before getting sent to elmore academy. i was at elmore academy juvenile delinquent jail for five months for no reason at all and durring this time the staff have severly abused me, physically abused me, starved me, maltreated me, dehydrated me, made me pee on the floor infront of every one in the living room. the staff refused to let me take a shower every day and would not let me sleep tell midnight while all the other girls in parks hall/ courage hall dorm were sleeping by 9:PM or 10PM and the staff forced me to wear the same dirty clothes for five days and the longest time was two whole weeks and the same dirty under wear, the staff refused to let me wash my face for up to three to five days, i was later allowed to take a shower every third day and i was only allowed to take a shower at midnight while all the other girls were sleeping.and i was only allowed 5 minutes in the shower which was not long enough to be clean. i was forced to put on the same dirty clothes most of the time after taking a shower. staff would make me bleed all over in my under wear and pants while sitting in the school chair or down stairs in the dorms chairs. the staff would not give me enough pads to cover my whole under wear where i would be bleeding on so i got severly herrassed by my peers and staff about how many pads i was allowed to have and what size i was allowed to have but i need over night super long with wing pads and i even ask for diapers but the stafff refused to let me have diapers for my period but thats what i needed because i have a big butt and i bleed alot. and the staff had no idea why i was there no one told them why i was being punished and locked up. the staff knew i did not belong there and my female peers knew i did not belong there either. the first week i was there the girls durring a group up in the school room said alot of possitive things about me and said i did not belong there and couldn't understand why i was locked up. but that possitive conversation never happend again because the staff got mad and told them they were not allowed to say anything possitive to any one saying they do not belong there and how nice they are. the staff tried to get me brainwashed and treated me like i was a criminal but i was the nicest person there. the staff treated me like i was bad person when i wasn't and the staff brainwashed the other girls to treat me bad like as if i was a bad person to. there are levels that kids can earn to move up in the program and it's ...crap i for got how it goes but you can be a junior, senior and the highest level you can be is a wild cat they call it. when i first got there i was placed in the parks hall dorm with about 10 other girls and i think it went up to 20 some girls. and then there was a more abusive girls dorm called the theraputic dorm and i was forced to move to that dorm like the third month i was there so i was only in parks hall for two months. i got released from elmore academy when i was 18 years old on 7, 29, 2009 and i got to be officially released from all treatment and lock up on august, 08, 2009 but my five months of being 18 was waisted at elmore academy. i had my 18 birthday in elmore academy. the staff are so abusive they only allow the girls and boys to have small amounts of bathroom breaks. and they only allowed us girls and boys to go to the bathroom was before each meal time and at night time durring shower time. sssoooooo it really sucked for us girls when we were on are periods the staff would not let us girls have more bathroom breaks when we needed it. so i was forced to bleed every with out a pad or tampon. and diapers were not allowed. the staff there are so ###ed! i was severly maltreated there by the staff. and there was mostly female staff for the girls dorms and mostly male staff for the boys dorms. elmore academy has females and male juveniles and they are seperated by dorms. there is about i think five boys dorms and only two girls dorms. most of this abuse i mention happend at the last two months i was there before i got released. durring these last two months i was severly starved! the staff only gave me one meal a day every day and i was only allowed to eat it at midnight and two weeks later i convinced the staff to let me eat breakfest instead of midnight because i need energy through out the whole day so breakfest was healthier for me and any one. and i told them i did not want to get fat from eating before going to bed and i felt like i was gaining weight. so it was good that i got to eat breakfest and yes they were still starving me! i went up to three days with out any food or water once because the stupid girls in my dorm which was courage hall the theraputic dorm kept shaking my box of food together and the staff would leave my food sit out all day for hours from lunch time and i was not able to eat the spoiled food at all. so i had to go hungry for three days. so after the staff decided to let me have breakfest insead the food was never spoiled cause i got to eat while it was being served out to every one and i did not have to wait for it. and when i had to eat food at midnight threw first two weeks i hardly ever got any milk to go with my food because the staff either would not get me milk or they would leave the milk sit out and not keep it in the refridgerater to keep it cold. but when i finally got to eat just breakfest i got fresh cold milk from being starved for two months i lost about 50 lbs. i am now 22 years old and i have a three year old son and i would never allow my son to be locked up in this place and any other place for no reason. i only now remember two staff names there and one staff named Marria Derendtfeld physically assaulted me so bad one night i had bruises on my arms and blood dots around my eyes and it was at midnight when she severly abused me for hours untill 2am in the morning. the staff didn't take the pictures of my bruises untill two weeks later when my bruises were faided and almost gone. i screamed and cried while derenfeld abused me while it kept all the other girls awake hereing me scream and cry. she had a husband that worked there who was mr.derendtfeld but i forgot his first name. my peers and staff would not let me talk about the abuse that happen that night the next day and they got mad and blaimed it on me. the staff would not let me use the bathroom at all untill midnight. so i had to go to the bathroom and the staff would not let me so i had to pee on the floor in my pants. and the staff forced me to clean it up. all the kids there were not allowed to go to the bathroom when needed which is very bad and unhealthy for growing kids and especially for girls. boys and girls were only allowed three bathroom breaks in a day. and boys and girls were only allowed to take a shower for five minutes. and in parks hall girls dorm there was this fat girl 17 years old who smelled really bad and the staff would not let her take longer in the shower even know every wanted her to because she smelled. my judge from pine city MN was James Rueter and he is a psycho! and hates females which is part of the reason why i did not get a fair trial. i was locked up at 15 because my abusive father flasy accused me of a domestic threat when he was callling the cops on him self but the dumb cop didn't see it that way and did not care and hand cuffed me and brought me to lino lakes juvenile delinquent jail in lino lakes, MN but the judge forced me to be under his stupid jurisdiction untill five months after i turned 18 FOR NO REASON! and they want me in foster care treatment tsa because they thought i was stupid and had mental health problems which i did not but they used that for a excuse and even addmitted to me it was not for being a delinquent because they told me i wasn't. but yet they still kept me in a lock up thing and locked me up even more as time when by for no
reason i was being kidnapped. please make some cooments and let me know if you have been to elmore academy in elmore minnesota and the county is fairbault. and the town next to elmore is blue earth, MN. i know i never deserved this abuse from the court system and lock up places no one deserves any abuse. if you want to talk to me private message me and i will give you my links to my other profiles and stuff. i am on youtube talking about abuse from staff at elmore academy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKVXt_PmapE oh yeah and i do remember mr.skaden guy name who was dorm leader of parks hall. i do not remember any of the dorm names for the boys. the staff would restrain kids girls and boys abusivly just for playing with their hair, looking out the window, not paying attention when some one is talking, farting in line or durring a group intervention, not standing still durring a group intervention, shoes being untied, shirt being untucked, wearing more then one pad for your period, taking to long in the bathroom using the toilet or taking a shower. staff there still restrain girls and boys while naked in the showers. and at elmore academy the staff force public showering and there are shower stalls with shower curtains but the showers curtains are small and tight and always get bumped out of the way alot and staff and peers see you naked. the staff and peers saw me naked behind the shower curtain about five different times while i was there. and i tried showering with my under wear and bra on but the peers found out and i got intervened for it and staff were threaten to retrain me for it. this place is called a intervention place for juveniles and it very abusive. the staff here at any time can refuse to let you eat, drink water, excersize, get sun light, take a shower, change into clean clothes, wash your clothes, go to the bathroom, talk to your peers or staff. anything they can take anything away from you even if it is going to harm your health and even kill you. the staff were bragging about hurting this one smallion boy for no reason and durring a restraint they broke his arms out of the socket on purpase and the poor boy was not fighting back at all and he was only like 13 years old. but he did nothing and they still severly abused him. i was lucky and had no broken bones or spraines. but i was starved and physically abused and maltreated. and the staff took away other meals from other girls and boys there to. i felt so sad inside for though poor kids getting abused like that. it is against the law for juvenile jails to take a meal away from kids especially if it's so they can force program rules. or for any reason. all children have the right to eat three meals a day. and there was this pragnant woman five months pregnant and they were starving her and would not let her have secounds on meals and no one was allowed to have secounds on meals. she complained about being so hungry and having hunger pain. that poor girl i was so angry when i watched the staff tstarve that girl like that. it is messed up. when i got released from elmore academy and all lock up at 18 years old in 2009 i was so relieved but severly depressed from being abused and locked up. i cried for a hour every day when i went home. and the judge forced me to go live with my father and grandma who abused me my hole life and ogt me locked up in the first place. i know this is really messed up and the judge would not let me have a bus pass and move to the homeless shelters or domestic abuse shelter in the cities like st.paul or minneapolis, minnesota. i so could of got to go to the cities but nnnnooooo i was forced to live with my father for awhile untill i could find a aprtment. i tried to get two restrainging orders on my father but both judges at pine city pine county mn refused it. but thats another story. oh and yeah from going threw lock up for no reasona nd getting severly abused my whole life i am up in the head for life and my life is up and i still get abused by other people at other places. so just because i am not locke dup doesn't mean i wont get abused any more i still get abused by people from time to time. and i have a hard time keeping friends and haivng living stability. right now i only have one good friend. on and off i get about maybe three friends and most people like me but...i do not get enough friends. from being at elmore academy i have post traumatic stress disorder, depression, and other type of disorders. at age 18 i tried killing my self after i got out of elmore academy but it didn't work and thank god no one found out about it.

I was also a victim within Elmore Academy around 2012. The male in charge of the female unit was Doug Mayland who sexually assaulted me and emotionally and mentally manipulated and abused me. I only know first names of the girls but NANCY was mentally disabled and I believe was made a ward of the state and may have never left before she turned 18. The woman in charge at the time, from what we knew, was a "Mrs Smith". Her husband "Mr Smith" worked on the boys side, she was very pregnant and had unforgettable braces on her teeth and puffy red gums. They had a small son who would come around with them at times. If anyone can help identify Mr and Mrs Smith please let me know.
