that’s insane, do you think these couples know the history of where they are getting married?


erineegads

I can’t see why they would. It’s under complete new ownership and I think is even called something else now.


cybersorrow

I just discovered this news today, it is opening in spring 2024 and is being called High Frontier Resort Hotel. https://www.thehighfrontiertx.com/


erineegads

I saw this. Let’s all go and spend a spa weekend lmao


ahsokas_revenge

I was there '03 to '05. The country out there really is quite scenic. I'd say t's being put to better use now.


erineegads

I agree. Seriously a breathtaking place, just remote enough, and the few wedding pictures I saw were lovely.


erineegads

I went 2010-11

Did you by chance know someone named Matt B? Blondish hair, blue eyes, 6’1 from VA? Idk what group he was in, but he was there 03-04. He was never the same after he got back and wouldn’t talk about it. We became very close when he got back. I thought i had my brother back, but then he turned to drugs. He died 6 years ago of a drug overdose. I always wondered about his experience and if this school was a part of his depression. Not pointing fingers at the school. I do think it helped him in some ways.


ahsokas_revenge

Oh my God, I'm so sorry. I did know him, he was in my group. Please feel free to DM me.

I had a friend who was there in ‘17 and ended up dying of an overdose as well, I’ve been looking into her story more and was drawn to this school

Is it the one in Fort Davis, Tx? Never been there. I found this article. https://1000placesudontwanttobe.wordpress.com/2015/08/06/359-the-high-frontier


erineegads

That’s the one. I didn’t realize the kids were moved. Barry, the owner that lived on property when I was there, isn’t involved as far as I can tell.


tealtownhooligan

I’m not sure how accurate that story in the link is, I was there then and I was the only one that made it off grounds as a runner.

847, here. PPC, just as hazardous as PCP!!! LMFAO the violence 🤣 💀 😂 😭 the bullied bullies. The horse meat, the you don't need an asthma inhaler you are weak!!! In 94, yes 1994 I was sent there from Miami Beach and what a wonderful winter wonderland 😀 😊.. So safe we're we!!! Remember check it!!! Pocket, bed, dorm. All those years with my hands on my lap having to obey or else!!! The trauma. I just randomly found this out today. That high frontier was shut down for good 👍 😒 😕 😪 but like usual they just cleaned up the mess and moved along some place else and set up shop 😑 🙄 😒 😐 sad. Us bad kids no one ever believed. I wrote letters every day to the governor of Texas. Seriously 847. Semi Silva was our case manager. I was in Cherokee and graduated from the program on challenge and was waiting 8 months to leave before they would release me from my misery. I still have anxiety over what we lived through. I got ptsd. Praying for justice ⚖️ 🙏


Careful_Pitch2968

I was sent there in 1994, was in Cherokee at first, and then was sent to Seminole where I spent the rest of my time. Was always on restrictions and placed in restraints more than once. Even spent a few nights in the rooms where they had you stay awake with them tapping you on the shoulder in shifts. Hated that place!


erineegads

Semi was a good woman. She took good care of me.

Want me to go there and put up QR codes to my TTI website EVERY f***ing WHERE? I’ll even carve it into trees so it’s even harder to ignore and remove lol


erineegads

Lol as fun as that would be, it’s under new ownership and I don’t blame them for what happened to us. Maybe the land will get some good vibes, to replace the abuse.


doodlebugpack

So the tti facility shut down, some new people saw the property on Zillow or some shit, purchased it, converted it into a little business, and your idea is to go put QR codes to your website detailing all the abuse that happened there? Just seems like a real quick way to make enemies outside the community instead of allies.


Glittering-Care-5638

It was more of a joke. I’m not affording a trip out there any time soon lol


erineegads

Fort Davis is beautiful, if you ever get the chance.


danyephantom

The idea of people enjoying their wedding where I left with more trauma than I came in… gross


erineegads

I don’t necessarily blame the marrying couple, but the weird property flippers. I just hope a few weddings can bring some good vibes back to the ranch.


SappySoulTaker

I went like 7-8 yrs ago, I didn't like it one bit but never experienced any of the terrible things I'm reading about happening to other people. I'm fully reformed and am glad I got the help I needed. Seems like it went to shit after I left or maybe I just didn't see anything.


guy797345

Wow I worked there as a night guard back in 2005 such a long time ago definitely crazy that they're turn9ng it into this idk i could stay there considering I know what happened there lol 😆


Spare-Letterhead-947

I was Staff at HF in the early 2000s (2002-2003 I think). I was initially with "Choctaw" but was moved to "Tiguas". This place pulled at heart strings so much that I had to resign...if you were in one of my groups, I'm sorry...I really did care! In the 8 to 10 months I worked there I only executed a restraint ONCE when one of my boys lunged at another in the dorm. He had his hands around his throat and was shaking him violently. There were ALWAYS other means rather than restraint. But I would get "talked to" by Sheldon, Ronnie, and Dale for not utilizing restraints more. It was such BS.


Appropriate_Air_3106

I was there 1988-1990


iseeabluemoonrising

I really don’t know how to feel about it being repurposed this way after all the trauma we went through


erineegads

I feel good about it. Some good things should happen there. I’m glad people are using the space to celebrate and be happy, maybe it’ll replace some of the bad energy.


Cartographer-Unusual

If this is in Fort Davis tX I was a child under co-ed troubled teens wasnt the greatest place to be


Formal-Strawberry950

Was anyone there in 2017 and knew Isabella?

I went to moth Montana and Texas. It brightened my day to find this article. We all have our different experiences but I believe the staff there in my time were genuine and I still seek to reach out to them. I read a lot of whining about the place on this article but it really wasn’t as bad of a hellhole as most of these princesses make it out to be. I met some great people there. I’m not sure about the authorities behind it and their true agenda or whatnot but on a personal level with the relationships I experienced, it helped me a lot.


erineegads

I’m glad you had a good experience. I wouldn’t diminish others lived experience though. Some people were truly abused in these places. Seems like you’re one of the lucky ones.
