thank God for helen irving cottage 10.....she was the greatest mentor....lived what she talked.....it was an actual vacation away from a very abusive home....and mrs sutty....mrs moore.....
I blame New York State for pulling me from my mother and not providing a decent education. This place only made me more angry and deep dislike for white people sorry but they were not nice to me and show favor to other white girls. However I am grateful for the Kindness that some of the black staff gave me and because of them my life was better. My memories of this horrible place was watching young women turn sixteen and be ship off to Bedford women prison. Kids today do not stand a chance with state run systems.
