MK forum

Because of the graphic nature of the reports IHART assures us that "Please make it clear to the survivors that they were the only ones who received their statement of finding. Ex: __________ only received the statement of finding that was theirs, no one else did.



IHART mailed out the packets to the survivors.

So they could still think that they were the only one.
I'm sure at this point, no one does.
Because of this website, for one.
There is no compilation of reports in a general way
That helps survivors and the general public
Know what went on
And how it was handled/not handled.

Another abuse report which could be used as a reference for ideas on how to assemble a report is the one done on the Mamou Alliance Academy (Christian and Missionary Alliance).

Here is a link to that report:

This school was also a small school, and while many MKs recognized who victims were, simply because they had actually witnessed the abuse they suffered, I think it is still an example worth considering.

Some contents of the abuse report can be found under "Vianopolis Abuse Reports" thread. More to come, apparently.

I know this has been confusing. Thank you all for hanging in their with us. We have babies, weddings, hospitalizations, work, conferences all ganging up together! There are a lot of stories out there. And the Via links go on and on. Maybe someone can consolidate these . . .not sure. Meanwhile, if you wrote, and your story is on here somewhere, please feel free to refresh the thread, copy it onto a new place or maybe get someone else to do it for you.

As readers, you are also welcome to pull out links, threads. Just be aware that this forum has been going on since 2010--these are like conversations--what made sense back then, might seem incomprehensible or even stupid, now.

One more thing--it's a vulnerable time for Via survivors. If you have contact with anyone from Via, please check in with them, and make sure they're ok.

Hi all, Sorry I have been quiet for so long. I will post my thoughts about all of this after my daughter's wedding. Busy time for us. Getting the reports at this time was a little overwhelming to say the least. There were several names on the report that totally shocked me. Others that did not shock me in the least. I haven't said anything because of all the CONFIDENTIAL slapped all over the report. Anyhow, chewing it over and trying to digest it all in the midst of hectic times in our home.

Love, Memories

Enjoy this blessed time with your family!
See you later.
