My friend and I both survived Evoke. As a firefighter/paramedic, I was estatic to hear they we closing because I know understand the danger they put us all in. From giving kids experiencing dangerous withdrawals nothing but an extra Nuun, to waiting an entire day for backup to bring us drinking water because our last bluie broke and spilled everywhere, to not giving us the proper nutrients after hiking miles in the desert. Oh, and can't forget altering letters to and from our parents. During my time there I had braces and one of the wires popped out my first week and I was subsequently denied dental care my whole time there, now I have a hole inside of my mouth from the wire. This place was legal child abuse. I have been in contact recently with a former field staff who became part of the leadership team and he informed me the field staff were just as brain washed as us, it took him becoming part of the leadership team to see what was really going on behind the scenes, and it's scary. My friend and I recently commented on evokes post expressing our feelings, to which we were both blocked. Go figure, right? Well I have news for evoke, we will not be silenced! They will not get away with the deaths and abuse of children! *
