*ATTENTION – Breaking Code Silence is no longer processing written testimony, however, your voice is still needed to help children currently held in the troubled teen industry. Please consider sharing your testimony with WWASPSurvivors.com. WWASP Survivors is a survivor led advocacy group, and informational resource for survivors, parents and the public. Your contributions will be appreciated to continue raising awareness and fighting for legislative reform of this industry.
Written statements are a needed piece of advocacy for #breakingcodesilence and a good option for those who wish to speak out but are uncomfortable with video. Here are the guidelines!
- Write about your experience in a program or facility in roughly 800 words.
- Include the age you were taken, and the year(s) kept in program.
- Write what was done to you and/or what you witnessed done to others. Please write only from your own experience and not of anything you’ve heard or read which you did not yourself witness or experience.
- Have a photo which you are willing to share of you at the approximate age you were when taken. (if you have no photo, a current photo is fine. We can release stories with no photo at all, but having one is more impactful.)
In order for us to share survivors’ written testimonials, all stories must be submitted by completing a legal DECLARATION OF FACT from the survivor. This is needed so we can show record that we have done our due diligence to ensure that what we share on our site and social media is truthful and factual. When you are ready to submit your written story, please do so by filling out the submission form below and pasting or writing your story in the “Testimony” section.
Thank you for standing up against institutional child abuse.
