This is why we have serial killers and murders. when someone goes to where they believe they can recieve help, then they are mistreated by those they thought they could trust it turns them against themselves. What the workers did was shameful, and i am embarrassed to have such a facility with horrible workers in the state of Texas. This article is to appear in a college essay of mine... and all i can say is embarrassment should rein over those accused. and God Bless the Ill natured.
