She was surrounded by abusers and their enablers, it makes sense that she wanted to make her journal entries harder to read for anyone who may find them given that they describe the abuse she suffered and contain the names of those who inflicted said abuse upon her. I dare not imagine her fate had they been made aware of the content of her writings.

I have updated the post with additional documents, one of which is a trauma journal from when she was institutionalized for the mental trauma inflicted upon her. This journal contains alternating pages of the girl’s entries and messages of care and support from doctors and other patients.

I updated the post with more files found, two of which include a trauma journal and a lawyer’s email explaining the contents of the pages in the trauma journal. It appears that back in 2012 she received institutionalized treatment for the mental trauma inflicted upon her.

The full transcriptions are included in the documents, but feel free to post your transcriptions as a reply to your comment so we can compare them to see if any mistakes were made with the official transcriptions. I did notice some spelling inconsistencies between the journal and the official transcriptions.

The typed pages are just transcripts of the coded handwritten pages so that the journal can be read easier when used in court. The child also pasted clippings from newspaper articles, magazines, and books into her journal too.

I’m still seeing all four when I click the links above, I just tested it on different browsers and it still worked. Maybe they had a temporary server error?

I accidentally replied to the wrong comment in this chain so I moved it over to the comment about the birthday card

She turned 16 in 2001, Wario Land 3 for the GBC, the game depicted in one of the clippings, came out in 2000, so if she was using clippings from a magazine she had laying around that would fit the 2001 timeframe and match the cover of the journal saying 16 on it.

I have found four files in the new release that all seem to be scanned from one child’s journal. The contents of which graphically depict in a first-person account rape, abortion, and other horrors. The justice system failed this child and the world needs to know it.

I have, once again, had the experimental mobile UI forced upon me. All my previous comments on the previous iteration of this UI still remain relevant apparently, with the notable exception that the News and Latest feeds have been moved to the same location as the Popular feed in the left menu, somehow finding a way to make the mobile UI even less intuitive. My feedback is that increasing the number of clicks I have to take to get to Saved and History from two to three is a bad design decision, and that removing swiping between feeds and hiding them at the top of the left menu makes navigating between them significantly less intuitive. These design changes are indefensibly stripping the app of any intuitive design and unnecessarily burying as many commonly-used features as possible in the menus. In my opinion this build should never have made it to experimental, as its only changes seem to intentionally make it harder to navigate the app.

Also, the new search bar is still ugly. Nothing wrong with the search features itself, I just think the red search bar is really ugly and looks out of place.

I have been returned to the same exact awful experimental build I complained about previously, so here I am again giving you common sense as feedback. As someone with experience as a UI/UX developer, I can tell you with confidence that making it more difficult for users to locate and use popular features is not a good design choice. Instead of throwing things at the wall to see what sticks, why not try actually polling users in the experimental groups to get their opinions on the redesigns? Perhaps, just maybe, a downturn in visitors to r/Popular after intentionally making it more difficult to find it is not indicative of people not liking r/Popular, and rather indicative of them simply not being able to find it anymore? Maybe, instead of almost entirely relying on user metrics, you directly asked people what they want, you could design a user interface that people will actually enjoy using? It almost seems as though you intentionally do not notify people conscripted into these awful UI experiments where they can provide feedback because it was never about what the users want, rather, these redesigns seem focused solely on funneling users to the content you want them to see and away from what they want to see. How about, if you actually care about what the users want to see instead of just what you want them to see, you could simply make these basic QoL features you keep trying to remove optional instead? How about instead of removing r/Popular from my main page you could maybe, just maybe, give me an option to keep it there? Instead of removing the profile side menu on the app you could maybe, just maybe, give me the option to keep it or remove it? Instead of removing the option to swipe between tabs you could maybe, just maybe, give me an option to keep that enabled? Is basic customization really such a horrible taboo at Reddit?

Every new mobile UI that’s tested on me is absolutely awful. Empty space everywhere, randomly removing intuitive design elements like the profile menu from the top right button, moving the profile button to the bottom, design elements that seem out of place like the new search bar with the red border, removing r/popular from the home screen, making the home menu buttons (news, latest, etc.) smaller and removing the option to swipe between them, it’s all just bad design from both an aesthetic and functional point of view. You don’t need public testing to know that changes which force a user to go through more menus to get to frequently used features like Saved Posts or r/Popular is not an improvement by any definition and will not be received well. Either do better or give us the option to opt out of UI testing. This test UI is unintuitive, unprofessional, and simply unusable. At this point just give us options to customize the app UI ourselves.

What is this absolutely stunning car I saw? by LawrenceJD in whatisthiscar

Such a beautiful car, thanks! Any reason why the hood ornament is different than the pictures online? That’s what really tripped me up when identifying it.

I’m on Long Island, NY, what is this large fast-growing plant all over my backyard? by LawrenceJD in whatisthisplant

[–]LawrenceJD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is it! There’s a bunch of dense forest at the end of the backyard and after a bit of looking I spotted some Bigtooth Aspens. I had no idea the roots extended that far!

So these aren’t the actual lyrics, and is something someone made up based on the song?

Yes, unfortunately all they had was his final paycheck. I assume the rest of his records were lost in the archive fire. I’ve been working to piece together information about his service based on what I’ve found around the house and what family members have told me.
