Exposing the Corruption of the "Family Values" Party
Miracle Meadows was a boarding school for troubled youth in Salem, West Virginia. It was under the aegis of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Founded in 1988, it operated until it was closed down in 2014.
A desperate student drank a cleaning product, was taken to the hospital where she begged for help. An investigation into the school began and the school’s education status was revoked.
Angie Woodward operated Trinity Teen Solutions, a Christian boarding camp for unruly children. Twenty-five former students filed a class-action lawsuit alleging they were not provided the residential counseling and treatment but instead were forced to work ten to twelve hours a day doing farm labor on the board camp ranch, for other ranches, at churches, and even at a coffee shop.
Jamey Noel was the Sheriff of Clark County, Indiana and is the Chairman of the Clark County Republican Party. He also was linked to the Oath Keepers in an Anti-Defamation League database, but he denies the association. He was term limited and did not run for re-election in 2022. He was replaced by another Republican, one of his deputies. While he was sheriff, 28 women allege they were sexually assaulted in the county jail.
Stephanie Householder and her husband, Boyd, operated the Circle of Hope Girls Ranch, ostensibly a “Christian boarding school” for unruly girls in Missouri. Missouri is infamous for poorly regulated Christian boarding schools that continue to operate despite authorities knowing that abuse and neglect are rampant.
Paul Bailey was the sheriff of Berrien County. While Sheriff, ten women sued the county alleging that four deputies had sexually assaulted them, demanding sexual favors for money or other benefits. When the suit became public, five more women came forward. Throughout the controversy, Bailey denied that it happened, then said that the deputies had already resigned or were fired, and took no accountability for the apparent negligent training and supervision that allowed this to happen. The County was named in the suit for failing to properly supervise, monitor, and investigate complaints.
Unfortunately, the lawsuit was dismissed because the 3-year statute of limitations had expired
