New Bethany Home For Girls

As another survivor of the New Bethany experience for three year, I have news for everyone who may not have heard.

Mack Ford, the head of the snake "his own d@mn self"...is D.E.A.D. Died 9 years ago in 2015, and I only learned about it today while researching a comment on FB.

May he rot in the hell he so fervently believed in and preached about...and beat into us.

I hope this brings some measure of comfort to any other survivors out there who are still suffering with the memories, burdens, and scars left by those horrid places.

I was a resident of both the Home for Girls (for a short time, when the boys were housed there), then the Home for Boys when they shipped us off to Walterboro, SC.

I'd say thank god they finally shut that one down & I managed to escape their clutches...but they thoroughly convinced me that if he exists, he has a most malign sense of humor...in the words of Mark Twain.

To any parent that reads these reviews please note that this school has been shut down since 1996 due to extreme abuse of the children who lived there I am a victim of this cult based school please take note before either sending them money or contacting them

There must have been some serious kickback going on in that parish because the townsfolk of Arcadia should have stormed the place with pitchforks and torches thirty years ago and rescued the imprisoned children.

Eventually they did--shut it down, but not soon enough to prevent the untold damage that it did to God's most precious gift, our children, our future. It's an embarrassment to the good citizens of Louisiana who need to set the record straight.

I am very familiar with survivors of this "school". If you google "New Bethany Home for Girls" the first three results are as follows:

1.History of Violence: Christian boarding schools and the March 10 ...
2.Survivors of New Bethany
3Survivors of New Bethany - VICTORY VILLAGE

This institution was run by a denomination, Independent Fundamentalist Baptists. The abuse that happens in these institutions is unspeakable. Google "tina anderson" for more information.

Finally to get a better picture of the larger issue I recommend this documentary, watch the whole thing, the first clip on youtube just starts to introduce the issue.

But in the end, this "school" is closed.
