My name is Bobby Dagen, and this is my story. I’m a survivor of a Jigsaw Trap. Yes, that Jigsaw. I was forced to hoist myself up with chains through my chest. I am a trauma survivor.
I help people who have been through similar situations to mine, through support groups and private councilling sessions (paid). I’ve decided to make a social media account, to try and reach as many people as possible.
I have left my question box open for anyone, I am open to any and all questions.
I’d just like to have a moment to bring awareness to the troubled teen industry. It’s not therapy. It doesn’t help people. It doesn’t ‘fix people’. It kills. It kills children. Hundreds of children have died at the hands of these programs. Hundreds. OF CHILDREN. HAVE BEEN MURDERED. By the very fucking people who they thought would help them.
Not convinced yet?
It’s been going on for decades.
Earl Smith. NINE years old. Murdered by restraint in 1995.
Michael Ibarra-Wiltsie. TWELVE. Murdered by a 300lb staff member crushing him in a sick attempt at ‘restraint’. February 2000.
Aaron Albert Grey. SIXTEEN. FROZE to DEATH during an escape attempt in 2001.
Angellika Arndt. SEVEN. Murdered by restraint in 2006. SEVEN FUCKING YEARS OLD.
Harry Rutledge and Christopher Hill. FIFTEEN and SEVENTEEN. They escaped, laid down on the tracks and committed suicide by train. 2006.
Astrid Valdivia. THIRTEEN. SHOT TO DEATH during an ESCAPE attempt. 2011.
Nicholas Grant. SIXTEEN. BEATEN TO DEATH. 2015.
I know what you’re thinking. It’s all in the past, right?
Wrong.
Summer Rose Lambert. FIFTEEN. Suicide by overdose. NOVEMBER 29TH 2022.
2022.
Alegend Jones. SEVENTEEN. DIED AFTER REFUSING TO UNDRESS INFRONT OF A MALE EMPLOYEE.
TWENTY TWENTY-THREE.
Not recent enough?
A 12 year old boy found dead at one of these ‘therapy’ programs. 2024. Asphyxiation. Clark Harman.
Still not recent enough?
2025. A suicide at Asheville Academy.
CHILDREN ARE DYING. WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO HELP?
Parents send their kids to these places willingly. Kidnap them in the middle of the night. Kids spend years in these hellholes. Nothing is being done about it.
CHILDREN ARE KILLING THEMSELVES TO GET AWAY FROM THESE PLACES AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE.
Children are choosing death over spending another second in these so called therapy programs. Children are hanging themselves. Children are overdosing. Children are being murdered, restrained, beaten, shot, neglected, choked to death. Where the fuck is your anger? Your rage?
Where the fuck is everyone?
This has been going on since 1930.
It’s still happening. CHILDREN ARE STILL FUCKING DYING.
DO SOMETHING.
GET UP AND FUCKING DO SOMETHING.
Known deaths in facilities. Every year, thousands of children are sent against their will – to facilities that are part of the Troubled Teen
You didn’t ask me, but if you do seriously want to help, there are numerous charities that support victims and help them tell their stories! Take a look at different organisations, see if theres one near your area. Any way to spread awareness and prevent any more kids being sent to these places is good.
Unfortunately, I can't kill him. He is a fraud, but the FBI can't do anything about lowlife frauds who use other people's pain to garner sympathy and attention. I can only frown upon his actions, unless he did something the police can't handle on their own (which is, in itself, a low bar, hahaha).
