I'm so sorry this happened to you, unfortunately I can relate. I remember when I was in hospital and staff were mistreating me, they said no one would believe me because I was the one with the diagnosis 😔 this really shouldn't be happening in this day and age, it's so unbelievably wrong that there is still this mistreatment and they're getting away with it 💔
😢so SORRY. I totally hear you. I feel and see this kind of stuff all the time. People get away with it. And it's nothing but scary for us. Did anyone get back to you and say thank you for trying to warn us did the police come back to you and now respond and believe you.. I know we're supposed to always push it under the rug we're supposed to always be positive we're supposed to always be not heard correctly and it's supposed to be okay over and over when we've explained I'm not even in your bad situation and I'm feeling for you. By the way doing things like the music thing loud that's a form of torture and she knew you had to be in the car so in a way that was a confinement torture and I know it should be nothing I get it it should be nothing to be working for the person you're working for to try to protect why not just be really proud and helpful and do a really great job because you're a human
I'm so sorry this happened to you as well it shouldn't happen to anybody at all but it's just the way this world is and it's not right but hopefully with this video that Jen posted and if there are a lot of more people speak out maybe at some point we can change it and get change done
@@autisticbuildabearcollector 🙏 I am sorry. .... there's so much misunderstanding.. .. but how scary. I'm so sorry. Speak Out to people who are near. hopefully there's help.
Jen, I am a case manager for adults and children of varying abilities. It is so important that you keep speaking up and advocating for your rights. You are a voice for others that have a hard time being heard. You are making a difference in this world for others. Keep being amazing and never be afraid to speak up!
As someone that has worked in places like this I can tell you I BELIEVE YOU!!! I would get into trouble for taking good care of clients. You are an amazing voice for vulnerable adults! You are right, people who hurt vulnerable adults should be charged with crimes so they can’t move on to other facilities when they get fired.
As someone who has been in this situation, I can confirm what Jen said which is these people will be fired and could get barred from ever working with vulnerable people again but they wouldn't be held accountable by the police. Its frustrating that these people effectively get away with it and something needs to change so vulnerable people feel safe!
@@lisalott2037 I would. If I was attentive or formed friendships with these incredible people, it made other caretakers have to rise up to better care. They would target me because I made them have to actually work.
No!!! Don’t take this down!! Don’t!!! You are a human being and you have the same rights to a calm peaceful and happy life just like anyone else. Yes you live in a situation with staff but they shouldn’t have so much power to discipline you. That’s not fair in the non disabled world ( I have physical disabilities too so I understand why you are so upset) you are of legal age to have a voice in your own life. It’s not okay the way that was handled ❤❤❤
I’m so sorry Jen. This perpetual trauma is so damaging, so unjust, so soul-destroying. I hope someone (a disability advocate? A human rights lawyer?) will watch this and be able to help you. Sending love.
Jen don’t quit! That’s what they want. I’m on the spectrum and only got diagnoses at age 46. I’m also a nurse and I witnessed a co worker who was on the spectrum get sabotaged and bullied. I was the safety officer and reported it to the union. Outcome: he lost his job and I was made a scapegoat for their behaviour. I switched to another ward in medicine(can you believe this happened in psychiatry???!!!). Long story short, I work with amazing staff and a boss that I can’t begin to describe how wonderful she is. She is aware of my diagnoses (autism level 1 and ADHD). She has 0 tolerance for any form of bullying or discrimination and the slightest that happened is dealt with swiftly. Long story short, it was the worst time in my life before but now it’s so much better. I’m sure we’re going to face more of it but you know what??? Those people are ignorant and let’s show them what we’re all capable of!!!!!! We got your back sister! I also responded to a comment by another amazing viewer regarding a property and a cabin. Like I said to her, if this becomes a plan, count me in to contribute any way I can. ❤❤❤❤
It socks that they "punished" you from doing something you were obligated to do. Not only were you mistreated and unjustly punished, they wound up punishing all the cast members who were counting on you to do your part. I am so sorry these things happened to you Jenn ❤ you!
Jen, I BELIEVE YOU! I worked at a State School for several years and witnessed staff on resident abuse. I was threatened to keep my mouth shut "or else". Praying for intervention and an Angel to be on your side!
Omg this just upsets me. I worked in group homes for yrs and its not right at all to treat anyone this way. Jenn you have the right to speakout about what has happened. You have the right to feel safe every minute of everyday. Ill be praying that everything will be worked out and you can get back to your upbeat, smiling self. GIANT HUG
Jen, keep speaking up. You have a voice and you can speak eloquently and I know from the things you have said about the school you were in, you need to keep speaking up and fight, mostly for yourself but also for the residents there and residents of other places... Those who don't know how to use their voices to speak up and stand up. Please don't take this video down. It is vital to have these things documented and public. My 38 year old son spent all of his schooling in various places in New Hampshire and Massachusetts and went through much of the same things that have happened to you. Sadly he too was not heard, but now he is being heard and listened to. It may not change what is happening but it will help you and others to understand what you want to see change. If the supervisor does not support you, then you need to go ahead of the supervisor, and your family and friends need to back you up. Keep speaking your truth, speak it loudly and make the differences that you have already done. Please know that you are loved and supported and most importantly believed. I (and so many others) are here to support you. Reach out to me or any of your other friends and supporters when you need. And make the changes you have been making. This world... And I need you.
This upsets me so much! OMG! Please have your mom or brother call up there. They will continue to get away with it especially if residents don’t have people to speak up for them. I will be praying for you
Jennifer would you like my phone number to save it I use to work in a group home in Sioux City ia and the staff I worked with were being not abusive to my clients but to each other also so I quit working with them
I agree. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this when you should be celebrating your success. I hope you are able to leave this up, and your friends and family can help support you through this so more people can see this. Sending you big hugs Jen and praying that they listen to you and let you continue to do the things that are important to you 💜
Hey Jen, this breaks my heart. I am so glad you put up this video. The truth needs to come out. People need to be told. Something needs to be done. Where are all those good people who were helping you? Y'all went places and played games and had fun. What the heck happened? There is power in prayer, Jen. I'll pray for you.
Im so sorry this is happening to you Jen. People like that should not be hired in the first place. Never be afraid to stand up for what is right. We believe you, I believe you and know we are thinking about you.
I am so sorry this has been happening to you. I am really proud of you for speaking out about it though. It takes a lot of courage to speak up. It takes even more to make a video and post it on the internet. Leaving it up helps not only you, but so many other people that are in similar situations. Don't let them dull your sparkle. You shine too bright to let such negative people bring you down. The best revenge is to succeed in spite of them.
Oh my gosh Jen. Please keep us all updated....do not take the video down. These people have to be held accountable for their actions. There is no reason for others in power to intentionally hurt, or mentally torture their clients. This is unacceptable!! Please try and keep the faith and stay strong. DO NOT TAKE THIS DOWN please......people need to hear that these things are happening. Too many people get away with this type of behaviour because they intimidate the client and make them feel like it is all their fault. We believe you Jen!! Please stay strong
Thank you for telling the truth! My cousin is in a group home because of his autism. He tells me all the time about the corrupt workers. I wish I could just take you both home 😢 it breaks my heart
I am so sorry! This needs to be reported to a higher agency. I'm not sure if your facility is ran under the DOH, but they have an emergency number you can call. That call may potentially save someone's life! Rock the boat, speak your truth! "Most of the time" absolutely should not happen!! It needs to be all of the time! You have rights! The staff needs to watch a Willowbrook documentary! This absolutely breaks my heart & I pray your situation gets better
Jen, I'm so sorry that you went through this. Your family needs to be advocating for you and not telling you not to rock the boat. This should not be happening. These people do this all the time, in these groups homes and elderly homes and it needs to stop. They need to be sued. The staff that doesn't treat you properly needs to be fired. Certainly, anyone who is violent needs to go to jail. I think you should keep a nest camera or any kind of surveillance type camera on at all times for your protection, Jen. Make sure you have one or two that can see your whole cabin to keep you safe. I will certainly do everything in my power to make sure I can help you and this place and others stop doing this. Stay safe, stay strong, you are not alone 🫂❤️🔥🙏✌️
The staff would probably demand full access and delete any abuse they’d catch or say it’s “against the rules” and not let her do it 😒 If they don’t check everything before she gets it and she’s able to buy stuff online un monitored they have quite a few things u can get that have a built in spy camera with sound the only catch is there very expensive
If they try breaking her computer that’s vandalism especially if she bought it with her own money Then stealing her phone is to keep her isolated so she can’t call for help and defend herself which is ABUSE 🤬
I hear you and I believe you. My heart is so heavy for you. I am glad you did get in a couple of shows. As a lesson, always have a backpack, that has your ear defenders, and a backup and everything you might need, always. Folks are jerks, and these things shouldnt happen, yet they do. I just said a prayer for you for peace and comfort. I love you sister.
I am so sorry that this happened to you. Shame on that staff member but double shame on the people in charge at your facility. I worked at a group home a few years ago and I saw this kind of thing happen on a regular basis. I reported it on a regular basis and little was ever done to the staff. They don't pay enough to get quality people for these jobs, and the training they receive is a joke. Changes need to be made and the only way that ever happens is if enough noise is made. You are brave for speaking out and standing your ground but be careful. Make sure your friends close by know the situation and your family as well. I hope things improve for you soon because you certainly don't deserve any of this.
Jen, I'm so sorry this has happened. I believe you. You should start keeping a diary of everything that happens to you and what you see happen to others. In the meantime, I'd write a letter to the state board that regulates the caretakers' licenses and report the staff member that did that to you. Big hugs
Jennifer, there HAS to be a voice for you and justice!!! She needs to be removed and not able to work with others!!! That’s horrible! She has no compassion or heart for that work! Glad you shared! I hope it helps you get help you need and wake the staff up! Hugs, love and prayers! Too bad someone can’t video how she acted and acts!
Jen. My heart breaks for you that you had to go through that. I have carers and have had terrible experiences in the past. It's just not fair or right that people in our situation are treated this way. You are so brave for reporting it and I am so proud of you. It's not fair how it was handled and you don't deserve any of the bad things that went on. This whole situation is awful. I don't know what the solution is, but I am so sorry that you have had to experience any part of it. I wish I had all the money in the world to create a safe place for people like us. Thank you for making this video. It is so important for this message to get out there. Please don't take this video down unless you truly want to. You are giving a voice to those that don't always have one. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
I believe you Jen because I’ve experience similar types of behavior from (some ) staff here at this rehab facility where I live. The system is broken. Don’t ever stop speaking up because there are people who do care and trying hard to make things better.
I want so much to hug you and tell you I do believe you and my very soul hurts for you. That is not right and I pray someone with the power to affect change hears these words. I am so very proud of you for speaking up especially when it’s hard. I pray that it doesn’t bring you further punishment or pain. You are an adult with so much talent to share with the world. It’s awful you were not permitted to attend YOUR play. Please don’t give up on seeking out things that bring you joy and also bring joy to others when you share them. You have MUCH to give and to teach the world. Please continue to let your light shine.
That place has already had its share of bad press. They used to have a hard time finding employees, so the ones that were there got away with a lot. I’m sorry to hear that that hasn’t changed.
Jen I am praying. I’m sorry that you are going through this. You are an amazing person. Don’t let this situation stop you from living your dream. Keep trying keep doing what you feel is right for you because I know you have your best interest.
My heart breaks for you!! The way you were treated is not right!! They know you worked hard for that play that shouldn't of been your punishment you shouldn't have had a punishment at all. I'm sorry Jen!!! I hope things get better again soon for you!!❤️
I am so sorry Jen 😢, i feel so bad for you, just take time to relax and rest your mind and body, I will pray for you and I hope for things to get better for you it will take some time
Jen! This is not okay you deserve the best. You need to find someone to help you either get this taken care of or get you to another placement! I am so sorry this is happening to you! Stay strong and keep using your voice to speak up!
I am proud of you for speaking up. It is rampant and you are not alone. When I could work and was a care supervisor, I told my staff and residents to report anything that wasn’t right and passed out the numbers for adult protective services and the state ombudsman here frequently. I told them that even if it’s me doing something wrong, turn it in. It’s hard because of everything you described happening and nothing changes most of the time. You deserve better. I’m so sorry this happened to you. Keep documenting and do what you can to find a safe living situation. 🖖🏻
Keep strong, the biggest "danger" to those people is light and exposure. So i find it really brave you made this video. The biggest evil in this world is for good people to do nothing and look away. YOU DIDNT LOOK AWAY!!!! I was able to see this and tell you from across the ocean you are a brave woman. I hope you will stand proud in the face of those who are mean to you. I am a strong believer of Karma. Sometimes it seems they get away with it, but they will be victim to their own wrongdoings by their own hand. In the end it will bite them in the a**. Dont give up, stay strong. You have people who love you. i cant get you to your play, if i lived in your neigbourhood i would have been volunteering to drive you. But yeah, i live in the Netherlands so i cant. The strange thing is why arent you allowed to go to your play? Or where the people who got caught not the ones doing the loud noises. Next time i would record what she did. I dont know why staff gets to be believed. The supervizer knows you, and why would she believe some staffer? This meanstreak should be visible always. It's a character trait. I just dont get it. (Or is this a different supervizer than shown in earlier vids) I worked as a staffer in group homes. I can't imagine why you would hurt the people you need to care for. I understand that in some cases where people are a danger to them selves and others you sometimes have to be more forcefull. But still you dont go and start to pull someones hair. And you dont go trash the place someone is living in and destroy their stuff. That is illegal. You use tought techniques to controle, not to hurt. Hurting has the opposite effect. Or maybe we are a lot strickter in who we accept in certain jobs here in the Netherlands. We have to offer a certificate from the gemeente ( i think that municipality is the closest thing that you would have in the states.) that you never have had a formal complaint, or being arrested. If you cant get it, then you wont get the job. The translation of the thing is litteraly a Certificate of good behavior. I dont understand why people always need to have to prove that they are stronger, better, meaner than others are. And why they need to show that they have power over you when if it's not called for. This is a video, and i dont know the "jennifer" when you are not on camera. But i cant imagine that there would be a huge difference in character between public Jennifer and privat Jennifer. As far I can make a judgement, i would say you are a friendly, polite and decent woman who doesnt lie. So why the "BEEP" would you do what they say you did if you have never done it before. (I refer to the driver who told that you jumped out of a car and went to sit on the road.) I really, really dont get it. Again, stay strong, brave and loving. I know you can.
I’m so very sorry this happened, Jen. 💔 No one deserves to be abused or treated unkindly. It makes me so angry that some people in a position of power over others think that they can get away with this type of behavior. It is completely wrong. Please don’t let this miserable person stop you from doing all the things you love and from sharing the talented, kind, and genuine person that you are! I am so proud of you for speaking up and sharing your truth. Don’t ever let anyone take your voice, Jen. You are valued and believed. ❤❤❤
I know how it is Jennifer. I was forced into a psych ward when I wasn't even depressed or acting out and forced to take heavy duty anti psychotic medications that adversely affected me and threatened with imprisonment if I didn't take them because my Housing Manager lied and said I threatened her (which I didn't) she had come to my apartment after hours and was harassing me. When I went to the door and held it open for her and asked her to leave, then she got together with Supervisors and Hospital staff and cooked up that lie that I threatened her. I was sent to prison for 5 months because of her lies! May she rot in hell!
This is never okay the staff needs to be held accountable for their actions jen i am so sorry for this and they way that you have been treated please keep the video up never give in never give up keep on figuring you have ever right to go to your own play and they cannot stop you because you have supports who are here for you this is what they want they want you to keep quit and not say a word but Jen you are such incredible person there is a saying that goes "whatever happens in the dark always comes to light" One of my favorite saying is actions have consequence.. they will get caught eventually and when they do they will be fired..
Jen this is horrible. I’m sorry to hear staff are treating you so poorly. It’s messed up that your truth gets pushed aside and staff have so much power.
Jen, my heart breaks for you ❣️ This is a job for the staff. But, it is your home. No one should ever be hurt or mistreated in their home. Sending you all my love 💓
I’m so sorry Jennifer, I was in a group home as a youth. One of the staff members was always picking on me because I was a bigger girl. She would tell me that I wasn’t allowed to talk unless I went to a gym. There were 15 other girls in the home but all were too afraid to speak up because what if they were then next. I got really sick and ended up having my appendix removed and when I finally got out of the hospital she was on duty of course. I still wasn’t moving very fast but as she was making fun of me so much that I just wanted to get away from her. I went upstairs and was going to listen to music when I discovered that someone had scratched ‘b*tch’ in every cd (i was a 90’s teen’) I owned. I heard her coming up the stairs so I just sat on my bed crying. When she was almost at my door I got up to just close the door and I guess she thought I was going to attack her so she ran back down the hallway to where the stairs were. I heard a crash and bang so I went to go see and by the time I got there she was at the bottom of the stairs. She called the police and told them I had pushed her down the stairs and that she wanted to press charges. Her arm was very visibly broken so they arrested me and took me to juvenile detention even though I had not pushed her at all in fact I wasn’t even there when she fell. I spent a week there until some of the kids finally came forward and told the truth about what happened as well as how she had been treating me. She got fired but that was it. She probably just went to a different care home and mistreated someone else. Not enough is done to protect the truly vulnerable. Good for you for speaking up. Don’t take this down. Rock the boat for those that can’t.
oh jen i am so sorry this has been happening to you! keep speaking your truth though and exposing those types of people for who and what they are . if noone has told you this and i know it's coming from a stranger but i am so so SO proud of you for speaking up and not allowing this kind of uncalled for cruel behavior to remain in the dark where they can continue to get away with it.
You did the right thing in every aspect of this situation. Disabled or not, every adult has the right to make decisions for themselves. I absolutely believe you, and I know it happens, probably because people know they'll get away with it. Keep speaking up!
Stay strong Jen & don’t keep your mouth shut! Do not let these people win. When you stay quit, the actions continue to happen and there are no consequences. We support you & love you! Thank you for your rawness & real life.
Jen I am so sorry that this is happening to you. You are such a kind person and do not deserve this. Do not let them beat you down where you stop the things that you enjoy. I sure do miss you and your videos like before. I enjoy seeing your videos.
The more I think about this the angrier I get. If there is ever a next time... quickly go live on Facebook... it will be recorded and there will be LOTS of witnesses. We love you Jen and you have SO many people who genuinely care about you. If there is anything we can do, please, just say the word.... we will be there.
Some states it’s illegal to record someone without permission others it’s legal as long as you’re part of the conversation she’d need to make sure it’s legal in Florida before she attempted that
@@howtowithelizabeth7513 you can record anyone except a lawyer and Dr that your not part of the legal point comes in because it may not be admitted in court ,but it does let the right people know your telling the truth and they can look else where for other evidence, I record everything
I'm so sorry to hear what has happened to you. I believe you, you're not the type to lie. I'm proud of you for speaking up, just wish I knew how to help you. Big hugs from Adelaide, South Australia 🇦🇺 💖 🙏🦋🌻
I’m sorry this happen to you I thought about being in a group home for people with disabilities to so i can have a life of my own but after so much that I seen personally even though what I seen was done to elderly at the store and now this I don’t even want to live in a group home we’re suppose to feel safe in a nursing home or a group and people can’t even feel safe because staff don’t care at all about their people they don’t give a crap as long as soon they get a dollar their happy money is all they apparently care about and that’s sad I’m so sorry you have to go through this I pray to god you can get your self placed in a better situation sweetie Every one is here for u we believe you don’t give up you will be ok god is looking out for u and he will protect you and one day punish the people who done harm to you and to any others in their care Don’t give up we’re here for u
...:( You are a kind, dignified, talented individual, and this planet needs more people like you--period! Your staff and supervisors, there, deserve to be exposed for the monsters that they are...as for others who take you to places, I would bet that they haven't been screened for anything--past priors, drugs, other conditions, etc. ALL persons deserve safety and dignity! The day this doesn't happen, it's time to clean house! You stand by the truth, Jennifer...we are right behind you!
It is heavy to hear as I know things like this do happen. So thank you for presenting yourself so honestly and I am really sorry this happened to you especially as you had been work so hard to learn your part in the play. Know that God is with you and he knows what you go through.
So this is why your spark is fading. I've noticed a change in these last few months. This breaks my heart Jen.. There's a special place in hell for those type of mean people. Keep your head up. Love ya Jen
Jen, this breaks my heart! I totally believe you. I am sorry you have to go through this. They need to be held accountable for their actions. This is an outrage. Please be very careful , I am so very proud of you for telling your story. I pray the right person will hear this & do something to stop this abuse. I love you very much Jenn.❤
Hearing this just breaks my heart Jen. I'm so sorry your having to go through this. It's absolutely uncalled for. Please don't allow these mean people to break your soul. You're such an amazing young lady. You have a beautiful personality and a loving heart. You stand strong. Don't ever give up on things that you enjoy and fill your heart. Never stop believing in you. I'm sending love and positive thoughts your way. Forge ahead sweetie 😘.
Jen, this disgusts me so much! I'm so sorry you had to deal with someone who should not be working with people period, whether special needs or other wise. Sending healing hugs. ♥
I'm so sad this is happening to you I will pray that everything will work out is their somone who is the supervisors boss that can help you . Much love hun 💞
Aww Jen, I'm so sorry!! don't take this down!! And from here on out, record on your phone any interactions with staff that you have that you believe might be in retaliation. Record everything.
I’m very sorry that happened to you I’m glad you’re speaking out, you definitely should. my familys helped me all my life. I’ve been blessed with a wonderful mom and sister, who always look after me. Sometime in the middle of the night I need my sister to come for me and she comes no questions ask and so dose my mom. .
I added this to a public playlist called "feminist discussion & social commentary" because I think its important that people hear your story. I've been victimized by medical/mental staff before and its always sooo frustrating.
you did the right thing by getting outof the car. I had a PCA drive over 100 mph because she was angry. I screamed. it was aweful. Some of these people are evil. and they are intentionally cruel, abusive and lie. I hope people send you cheer up mail and that they look into this seriously. This was so aweful.
Jennifer my heart is breaking for you! I know you have put so much time into your play and other activities! Don't let their actions force you to give up!! You have a whole community who loves you. I am praying for you sister!!! Always remember Jesus loves you!!!!
I am so sorry you had to go through. This is not ok. Keep standing up for yourself and what is best for you no one else. You are one strong women don’t let them win this battle.
Oh Jen I’m so sorry this is happening working with clients just like yourself it saddens me that there is people out there doing this sort of thing day in and day out if they don’t like the job don’t do it simple, I hope you find some good staff soon and don’t ever give up speaking out
Oh Jen, I'm so sorry this is happening to you! Don't take it down! Continue to speak out! I pray that those staff members get want is coming to them! This boils my blood that they're treating you like this! Jen remember I love you and you are an awesome person ❤️!
Oh Jen I’m so sorry. We love you so much and are glad you shared this video and your story. This is not your fault and you shouldn’t have to accept it. You’re an adult and a human and we all make mistakes but you did not make a mistake by getting out of that car. I’m so big mad that there are people in these facilities that exploit their power and mistreat others.
I'm sorry this is happening to you (and others), Jen. Gaslighting is no joke. Must have been so frustrating not to be able to go to your play. The fact that you are pretty happy most of the videos is a testament to the healing God has done in your life. Hope Lemmy is helping extra with your mental health at the moment. Praying things improve soon.
I am so sorry you have to endure this!! Don’t quit! Never give up because then evil wins! Stand firm in what you know is true. God and so many of us out here are always on your side!!!🤗🤗🤗
Jen please keep this video up. I am so deeply sorry you went through this! It is absolutely not okay. It upsets me so much that people like this choose a job like this and treat people with disabilities so horrible. You have been through so much in your life. You deserve to be treated absolutely amazing with respect. My heart is hurting so bad for you. What can we do to help you? 💔😢😢😢😢 we love you Jen!!
Hi Jen I believe you. Prayers for comfort and hugs. I’m asking God to let others know what is happening and find a solution to this. They need to remove people like this and not let them work in as a caregiver anymore. Many hugs and prayers. Keep being you as your a beautiful soul. 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏🙏🐾🐾🐾 Much love 💕
Jennifer, you are such a sweet young lady and I'm so sorry you're going through this! Hopefully, things will get better for you. You need to reach out to someone who will believe you and they will do something about it. Good luck Sweetie!
Jennifer, I am so sorry for what you have endured and for the unfair treatment and abuse you have suffered through. Please continue to share your stories and speak up. You are a strong advocate. Continue the fight because the world needs to hear your stories or nothing will change. I'm sorry you have not been treated with the dignity and respect you deserve.
Jen, I'm so SO sorry this happened. And, even more sorry that you weren't heard, listened to, and believed by those that are supposed to be supporting you. I, and many others here, hear you, believe you, and support you. I pray that the staff doesn't try to make things worse for you, and know that your family is just looking out for you too. Please don't give up the things that make you happy. If you do another play, would you be allowed to always have a member of the cast be your transportation? Please don't stop doing the things that you love. Sending prayers that you get new/better staff. I love the relationships that you've had with some of your past staff, and Tara too. Praying for you, and sending hugs your way.
Jen I'm so sorry this kind of thing happened to you. I have a granddaughter with Down Syndrome and I worry about her a lot. She is 6 years old and has a twin brother and two older brothers. None of the boys have Downs. They are very protective of her. But as we know children as well as adults can be cruel especially to anyone that is different. Sloane is a girl of few words. But she works with speech pathologist and hopefully her words will increase with time. I have been watching you for a couple years now and you have a special place in my heart. I ordered two of your books and donated one to the public library and kept one for myself. I cried more than once while reading it. You amaze me with your many talents. Never give up sweet girl. Give the problems to God he will handle them for you. I love you and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers!!
I’m so sorry that happened to you. It’s not fair and it’s not your fault. The only advice I can offer is to keep a log (or journal) with dates and descriptions of the negative stuff that happens to you. Even writing down stuff that’s already happened. Then you have a written record of events in case you need to take this to someone higher up at that residence. Or even if there’s ever legal action against the facility, you would have a personal record of events. Again I’m so sorry and I hope things get better.
@@howtowithelizabeth7513 I agree it’s possible but it would be better than nothing. She could have it saved to her computer and backed up to her email. Or backed up on a flash drive. As long as she doesn’t tell anyone or leave it where staff can easily see it then it would be fine. And the purpose of having it wouldn’t be to prove it to the staff. It would be important if the facility was ever under investigation.
I'm sorry Jen That this is happening to you. And if you're right it does happen all over the world but please I don't care what people say do not take this post down it needs to be made public so that people can try to get the stuff to stop happening I used to work with mentally challenged and handicapped people and I used to drive them places and I actually had a place shut down due to the abuse it's sad and it shouldn't happen they should not be doing this to people but I'm glad you're speaking out about it Jen that shows a lot of courage but my advice though Jen is start making sure your cell phone is always on you and make sure you always have it on video when you're with staff because that will help your case and a lot of different ways if you ever need help I'm a message away I put my phone number on here but I don't want the whole world having it but if there's a way for you to message me quietly you know personally just me and you I'll give you my number and you can call and talk to me anytime Jen I watch every video that you play and you're awesome and you're great and I know how hard you worked for this play and it hurts me that they hurt you guys that way and all of us was always because it's not right and I wish I could help make a difference in that I know I tried to do stuff up here and I have gotten people arrested up here for hurting staff hurting their clients but if there's anything I can do for you Jen please feel free to reach out to me.
Oh dear me Jen, I feel your pain. Stuff like this should have never happened. Remember you are loved by many who follow you, no one has the right to abuse you
oh, Jen I'm so sorry you had to go through that. No, you need to speak up that is not acceptable. I hope things get better don't quite what you like to do because that's makes them the winners.
Don't take it down. People need to know how you and others are being treated. So change can be made. I enjoy your videos and love seeing how creative you are. You bring a smile to my husband and myself everytime we view your videos. We loved your law and order video and would love to see more. Please keep that smile on your face and know we all care.
Jen I'm so so sorry you have went through all of this😢. I have family members that's been in group homes and my family has pulled them out because of this exact thing. So I believe everything you've stated, it's a disturbing world out there😢. Stand your ground Hun and stay strong you're such an inspiration to so many. We love you and pray everything will get better and maybe this video will change someone that does these disgusting things. Love ya girl and miss your daily vlogs. ❤️❤️❤️
I'm so sorry this happened to you, unfortunately I can relate. I remember when I was in hospital and staff were mistreating me, they said no one would believe me because I was the one with the diagnosis 😔 this really shouldn't be happening in this day and age, it's so unbelievably wrong that there is still this mistreatment and they're getting away with it 💔
Thank you for the pin Jen! 📌 Please don't take the video down, our stories need to be told so it can stop happening 🥰
😢so SORRY. I totally hear you. I feel and see this kind of stuff all the time. People get away with it. And it's nothing but scary for us. Did anyone get back to you and say thank you for trying to warn us did the police come back to you and now respond and believe you.. I know we're supposed to always push it under the rug we're supposed to always be positive we're supposed to always be not heard correctly and it's supposed to be okay over and over when we've explained I'm not even in your bad situation and I'm feeling for you. By the way doing things like the music thing loud that's a form of torture and she knew you had to be in the car so in a way that was a confinement torture and I know it should be nothing I get it it should be nothing to be working for the person you're working for to try to protect why not just be really proud and helpful and do a really great job because you're a human
I'm so sorry this happened to you as well it shouldn't happen to anybody at all but it's just the way this world is and it's not right but hopefully with this video that Jen posted and if there are a lot of more people speak out maybe at some point we can change it and get change done
I'm a adult who is autistic I in a group home they mistreat me
@@autisticbuildabearcollector 🙏 I am sorry. .... there's so much misunderstanding..
.. but how scary. I'm so sorry. Speak Out to people who are near. hopefully there's help.
Jen, I am a case manager for adults and children of varying abilities. It is so important that you keep speaking up and advocating for your rights. You are a voice for others that have a hard time being heard. You are making a difference in this world for others. Keep being amazing and never be afraid to speak up!
As someone that has worked in places like this I can tell you I BELIEVE YOU!!! I would get into trouble for taking good care of clients. You are an amazing voice for vulnerable adults! You are right, people who hurt vulnerable adults should be charged with crimes so they can’t move on to other facilities when they get fired.
What..... Are you serious right now. You would get in trouble for taking good care of clients.. this world needs so much help..
As someone who has been in this situation, I can confirm what Jen said which is these people will be fired and could get barred from ever working with vulnerable people again but they wouldn't be held accountable by the police. Its frustrating that these people effectively get away with it and something needs to change so vulnerable people feel safe!
@@lisalott2037 I would. If I was attentive or formed friendships with these incredible people, it made other caretakers have to rise up to better care. They would target me because I made them have to actually work.
Yes we believe you. Your family needs to get involved. You deserve to feel safe.
My heart hurts for you sweet girl. You are so very loved. I will be praying for you. ❤
No!!! Don’t take this down!! Don’t!!! You are a human being and you have the same rights to a calm peaceful and happy life just like anyone else. Yes you live in a situation with staff but they shouldn’t have so much power to discipline you. That’s not fair in the non disabled world ( I have physical disabilities too so I understand why you are so upset) you are of legal age to have a voice in your own life. It’s not okay the way that was handled ❤❤❤
I’m so sorry Jen. This perpetual trauma is so damaging, so unjust, so soul-destroying. I hope someone (a disability advocate? A human rights lawyer?) will watch this and be able to help you. Sending love.
Jen don’t quit! That’s what they want. I’m on the spectrum and only got diagnoses at age 46. I’m also a nurse and I witnessed a co worker who was on the spectrum get sabotaged and bullied. I was the safety officer and reported it to the union. Outcome: he lost his job and I was made a scapegoat for their behaviour. I switched to another ward in medicine(can you believe this happened in psychiatry???!!!). Long story short, I work with amazing staff and a boss that I can’t begin to describe how wonderful she is. She is aware of my diagnoses (autism level 1 and ADHD). She has 0 tolerance for any form of bullying or discrimination and the slightest that happened is dealt with swiftly. Long story short, it was the worst time in my life before but now it’s so much better. I’m sure we’re going to face more of it but you know what??? Those people are ignorant and let’s show them what we’re all capable of!!!!!! We got your back sister! I also responded to a comment by another amazing viewer regarding a property and a cabin. Like I said to her, if this becomes a plan, count me in to contribute any way I can. ❤❤❤❤
Sherry.sounds extraordinary your place in this world
It socks that they "punished" you from doing something you were obligated to do. Not only were you mistreated and unjustly punished, they wound up punishing all the cast members who were counting on you to do your part. I am so sorry these things happened to you Jenn ❤ you!
Jen, I BELIEVE YOU! I worked at a State School for several years and witnessed staff on resident abuse. I was threatened to keep my mouth shut "or else".
Praying for intervention and an Angel to be on your side!
Omg this just upsets me. I worked in group homes for yrs and its not right at all to treat anyone this way. Jenn you have the right to speakout about what has happened. You have the right to feel safe every minute of everyday. Ill be praying that everything will be worked out and you can get back to your upbeat, smiling self. GIANT HUG
Jen, keep speaking up. You have a voice and you can speak eloquently and I know from the things you have said about the school you were in, you need to keep speaking up and fight, mostly for yourself but also for the residents there and residents of other places... Those who don't know how to use their voices to speak up and stand up. Please don't take this video down. It is vital to have these things documented and public.
My 38 year old son spent all of his schooling in various places in New Hampshire and Massachusetts and went through much of the same things that have happened to you. Sadly he too was not heard, but now he is being heard and listened to. It may not change what is happening but it will help you and others to understand what you want to see change.
If the supervisor does not support you, then you need to go ahead of the supervisor, and your family and friends need to back you up. Keep speaking your truth, speak it loudly and make the differences that you have already done.
Please know that you are loved and supported and most importantly believed.
I (and so many others) are here to support you. Reach out to me or any of your other friends and supporters when you need. And make the changes you have been making. This world... And I need you.
❤❤❤❤
This upsets me so much! OMG! Please have your mom or brother call up there. They will continue to get away with it especially if residents don’t have people to speak up for them. I will be praying for you
I love you Jen. This is unacceptable. I'm sorry this happened. I believe you 100%. They need to be held accountable.
They need to be charged with abuse
This is not okay , they need to be held accountable. Your family needs to take care of you and protect you.
A lawyer needs to be contacted ,
I'm so sorry this happened to you. I think it's important that everyone in this world watches this video.
thanks Sophie
I have your back Jennifer I love you and lemonade
@@JenMsumba My pleasure 🐇
Jennifer would you like my phone number to save it I use to work in a group home in Sioux City ia and the staff I worked with were being not abusive to my clients but to each other also so I quit working with them
I agree. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this when you should be celebrating your success. I hope you are able to leave this up, and your friends and family can help support you through this so more people can see this. Sending you big hugs Jen and praying that they listen to you and let you continue to do the things that are important to you 💜
Hey Jen, this breaks my heart. I am so glad you put up this video. The truth needs to come out. People need to be told. Something needs to be done. Where are all those good people who were helping you? Y'all went places and played games and had fun. What the heck happened? There is power in prayer, Jen. I'll pray for you.
Im so sorry this is happening to you Jen. People like that should not be hired in the first place. Never be afraid to stand up for what is right. We believe you, I believe you and know we are thinking about you.
I am so sorry this has been happening to you. I am really proud of you for speaking out about it though. It takes a lot of courage to speak up. It takes even more to make a video and post it on the internet. Leaving it up helps not only you, but so many other people that are in similar situations. Don't let them dull your sparkle. You shine too bright to let such negative people bring you down. The best revenge is to succeed in spite of them.
No the best revenge is PUTTING THEIR NAME AND NUMBER IF THE PERSON OR PEOPLE WHO DID THIS
Oh my gosh Jen. Please keep us all updated....do not take the video down. These people have to be held accountable for their actions. There is no reason for others in power to intentionally hurt, or mentally torture their clients. This is unacceptable!! Please try and keep the faith and stay strong. DO NOT TAKE THIS DOWN please......people need to hear that these things are happening. Too many people get away with this type of behaviour because they intimidate the client and make them feel like it is all their fault. We believe you Jen!! Please stay strong
Thank you for telling the truth! My cousin is in a group home because of his autism. He tells me all the time about the corrupt workers. I wish I could just take you both home 😢 it breaks my heart
I am so sorry! This needs to be reported to a higher agency. I'm not sure if your facility is ran under the DOH, but they have an emergency number you can call. That call may potentially save someone's life! Rock the boat, speak your truth! "Most of the time" absolutely should not happen!! It needs to be all of the time! You have rights! The staff needs to watch a Willowbrook documentary! This absolutely breaks my heart & I pray your situation gets better
Jen, I'm so sorry that you went through this. Your family needs to be advocating for you and not telling you not to rock the boat. This should not be happening. These people do this all the time, in these groups homes and elderly homes and it needs to stop. They need to be sued. The staff that doesn't treat you properly needs to be fired. Certainly, anyone who is violent needs to go to jail. I think you should keep a nest camera or any kind of surveillance type camera on at all times for your protection, Jen. Make sure you have one or two that can see your whole cabin to keep you safe. I will certainly do everything in my power to make sure I can help you and this place and others stop doing this. Stay safe, stay strong, you are not alone 🫂❤️🔥🙏✌️
Keep the recordings by having automatically upload to the cloud or internet, so that it can't be destroyed if they try to break your computer again.
The staff would probably demand full access and delete any abuse they’d catch or say it’s “against the rules” and not let her do it 😒
If they don’t check everything before she gets it and she’s able to buy stuff online un monitored they have quite a few things u can get that have a built in spy camera with sound the only catch is there very expensive
If they try breaking her computer that’s vandalism especially if she bought it with her own money
Then stealing her phone is to keep her isolated so she can’t call for help and defend herself which is ABUSE 🤬
I hear you and I believe you. My heart is so heavy for you. I am glad you did get in a couple of shows. As a lesson, always have a backpack, that has your ear defenders, and a backup and everything you might need, always. Folks are jerks, and these things shouldnt happen, yet they do. I just said a prayer for you for peace and comfort. I love you sister.
I am so sorry that this happened to you. Shame on that staff member but double shame on the people in charge at your facility. I worked at a group home a few years ago and I saw this kind of thing happen on a regular basis. I reported it on a regular basis and little was ever done to the staff. They don't pay enough to get quality people for these jobs, and the training they receive is a joke. Changes need to be made and the only way that ever happens is if enough noise is made. You are brave for speaking out and standing your ground but be careful. Make sure your friends close by know the situation and your family as well. I hope things improve for you soon because you certainly don't deserve any of this.
Jen, I'm so sorry this has happened. I believe you. You should start keeping a diary of everything that happens to you and what you see happen to others. In the meantime, I'd write a letter to the state board that regulates the caretakers' licenses and report the staff member that did that to you. Big hugs
And these so called "caregivers" siding with the police and giving little kid punishments to autistic people is NOT okay!
Jennifer, there HAS to be a voice for you and justice!!! She needs to be removed and not able to work with others!!! That’s horrible! She has no compassion or heart for that work! Glad you shared! I hope it helps you get help you need and wake the staff up! Hugs, love and prayers! Too bad someone can’t video how she acted and acts!
😢This breaks my heart! I’m so sorry you had to go through that.
Jen. My heart breaks for you that you had to go through that. I have carers and have had terrible experiences in the past. It's just not fair or right that people in our situation are treated this way. You are so brave for reporting it and I am so proud of you.
It's not fair how it was handled and you don't deserve any of the bad things that went on. This whole situation is awful. I don't know what the solution is, but I am so sorry that you have had to experience any part of it. I wish I had all the money in the world to create a safe place for people like us.
Thank you for making this video. It is so important for this message to get out there. Please don't take this video down unless you truly want to. You are giving a voice to those that don't always have one. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
I believe you Jen because I’ve experience similar types of behavior from (some ) staff here at this rehab facility where I live. The system is broken. Don’t ever stop speaking up because there are people who do care and trying hard to make things better.
I want so much to hug you and tell you I do believe you and my very soul hurts for you. That is not right and I pray someone with the power to affect change hears these words. I am so very proud of you for speaking up especially when it’s hard. I pray that it doesn’t bring you further punishment or pain. You are an adult with so much talent to share with the world. It’s awful you were not permitted to attend YOUR play. Please don’t give up on seeking out things that bring you joy and also bring joy to others when you share them. You have MUCH to give and to teach the world. Please continue to let your light shine.
That place has already had its share of bad press. They used to have a hard time finding employees, so the ones that were there got away with a lot. I’m sorry to hear that that hasn’t changed.
Jen I am praying. I’m sorry that you are going through this. You are an amazing person. Don’t let this situation stop you from living your dream. Keep trying keep doing what you feel is right for you because I know you have your best interest.
I’m so sorry you’re dealing with that. Thanks for sharing your story because you’re right, staff DOES get away with everything and it’s not ok.
My heart breaks for you!! The way you were treated is not right!! They know you worked hard for that play that shouldn't of been your punishment you shouldn't have had a punishment at all. I'm sorry Jen!!! I hope things get better again soon for you!!❤️
I am so sorry Jen 😢, i feel so bad for you, just take time to relax and rest your mind and body, I will pray for you and I hope for things to get better for you it will take some time
Jen! This is not okay you deserve the best. You need to find someone to help you either get this taken care of or get you to another placement! I am so sorry this is happening to you! Stay strong and keep using your voice to speak up!
I am proud of you for speaking up. It is rampant and you are not alone. When I could work and was a care supervisor, I told my staff and residents to report anything that wasn’t right and passed out the numbers for adult protective services and the state ombudsman here frequently. I told them that even if it’s me doing something wrong, turn it in. It’s hard because of everything you described happening and nothing changes most of the time. You deserve better. I’m so sorry this happened to you. Keep documenting and do what you can to find a safe living situation. 🖖🏻
Keep strong, the biggest "danger" to those people is light and exposure. So i find it really brave you made this video. The biggest evil in this world is for good people to do nothing and look away. YOU DIDNT LOOK AWAY!!!! I was able to see this and tell you from across the ocean you are a brave woman. I hope you will stand proud in the face of those who are mean to you. I am a strong believer of Karma. Sometimes it seems they get away with it, but they will be victim to their own wrongdoings by their own hand. In the end it will bite them in the a**.
Dont give up, stay strong. You have people who love you. i cant get you to your play, if i lived in your neigbourhood i would have been volunteering to drive you. But yeah, i live in the Netherlands so i cant.
The strange thing is why arent you allowed to go to your play? Or where the people who got caught not the ones doing the loud noises. Next time i would record what she did. I dont know why staff gets to be believed. The supervizer knows you, and why would she believe some staffer? This meanstreak should be visible always. It's a character trait. I just dont get it. (Or is this a different supervizer than shown in earlier vids)
I worked as a staffer in group homes. I can't imagine why you would hurt the people you need to care for. I understand that in some cases where people are a danger to them selves and others you sometimes have to be more forcefull. But still you dont go and start to pull someones hair. And you dont go trash the place someone is living in and destroy their stuff. That is illegal.
You use tought techniques to controle, not to hurt. Hurting has the opposite effect. Or maybe we are a lot strickter in who we accept in certain jobs here in the Netherlands. We have to offer a certificate from the gemeente ( i think that municipality is the closest thing that you would have in the states.) that you never have had a formal complaint, or being arrested. If you cant get it, then you wont get the job. The translation of the thing is litteraly a Certificate of good behavior.
I dont understand why people always need to have to prove that they are stronger, better, meaner than others are. And why they need to show that they have power over you when if it's not called for.
This is a video, and i dont know the "jennifer" when you are not on camera. But i cant imagine that there would be a huge difference in character between public Jennifer and privat Jennifer. As far I can make a judgement, i would say you are a friendly, polite and decent woman who doesnt lie.
So why the "BEEP" would you do what they say you did if you have never done it before. (I refer to the driver who told that you jumped out of a car and went to sit on the road.) I really, really dont get it. Again, stay strong, brave and loving. I know you can.
Thank you for your honesty and sharing. Please don’t give up!!!! Don’t take this video down!! People need to hear your voice. ❤
I’m so very sorry this happened, Jen. 💔 No one deserves to be abused or treated unkindly. It makes me so angry that some people in a position of power over others think that they can get away with this type of behavior. It is completely wrong. Please don’t let this miserable person stop you from doing all the things you love and from sharing the talented, kind, and genuine person that you are! I am so proud of you for speaking up and sharing your truth. Don’t ever let anyone take your voice, Jen. You are valued and believed. ❤❤❤
I know how it is Jennifer. I was forced into a psych ward when I wasn't even depressed or acting out and forced to take heavy duty anti psychotic medications that adversely affected me and threatened with imprisonment if I didn't take them because my Housing Manager lied and said I threatened her (which I didn't) she had come to my apartment after hours and was harassing me. When I went to the door and held it open for her and asked her to leave, then she got together with Supervisors and Hospital staff and cooked up that lie that I threatened her. I was sent to prison for 5 months because of her lies! May she rot in hell!
This is never okay the staff needs to be held accountable for their actions jen i am so sorry for this and they way that you have been treated please keep the video up never give in never give up keep on figuring you have ever right to go to your own play and they cannot stop you because you have supports who are here for you this is what they want they want you to keep quit and not say a word but Jen you are such incredible person there is a saying that goes
"whatever happens in the dark always comes to light"
One of my favorite saying is actions have consequence..
they will get caught eventually and when they do they will be fired..
Jen this is horrible. I’m sorry to hear staff are treating you so poorly. It’s messed up that your truth gets pushed aside and staff have so much power.
Jen, my heart breaks for you ❣️ This is a job for the staff. But, it is your home. No one should ever be hurt or mistreated in their home. Sending you all my love 💓
I’m so sorry Jennifer, I was in a group home as a youth. One of the staff members was always picking on me because I was a bigger girl. She would tell me that I wasn’t allowed to talk unless I went to a gym. There were 15 other girls in the home but all were too afraid to speak up because what if they were then next. I got really sick and ended up having my appendix removed and when I finally got out of the hospital she was on duty of course. I still wasn’t moving very fast but as she was making fun of me so much that I just wanted to get away from her. I went upstairs and was going to listen to music when I discovered that someone had scratched ‘b*tch’ in every cd (i was a 90’s teen’) I owned. I heard her coming up the stairs so I just sat on my bed crying. When she was almost at my door I got up to just close the door and I guess she thought I was going to attack her so she ran back down the hallway to where the stairs were. I heard a crash and bang so I went to go see and by the time I got there she was at the bottom of the stairs. She called the police and told them I had pushed her down the stairs and that she wanted to press charges. Her arm was very visibly broken so they arrested me and took me to juvenile detention even though I had not pushed her at all in fact I wasn’t even there when she fell. I spent a week there until some of the kids finally came forward and told the truth about what happened as well as how she had been treating me. She got fired but that was it. She probably just went to a different care home and mistreated someone else.
Not enough is done to protect the truly vulnerable. Good for you for speaking up. Don’t take this down. Rock the boat for those that can’t.
oh jen i am so sorry this has been happening to you! keep speaking your truth though and exposing those types of people for who and what they are . if noone has told you this and i know it's coming from a stranger but i am so so SO proud of you for speaking up and not allowing this kind of uncalled for cruel behavior to remain in the dark where they can continue to get away with it.
You did the right thing in every aspect of this situation. Disabled or not, every adult has the right to make decisions for themselves. I absolutely believe you, and I know it happens, probably because people know they'll get away with it. Keep speaking up!
"Most of the time" is not enough...my heart goes out to you.
Stay strong Jen & don’t keep your mouth shut! Do not let these people win. When you stay quit, the actions continue to happen and there are no consequences. We support you & love you! Thank you for your rawness & real life.
Jen I am so sorry that this is happening to you. You are such a kind person and do not deserve this. Do not let them beat you down where you stop the things that you enjoy. I sure do miss you and your videos like before. I enjoy seeing your videos.
Jen, You are a strong person. You're a
hero. My thoughts and prayers are with
you.❤️ Patti
The more I think about this the angrier I get. If there is ever a next time... quickly go live on Facebook... it will be recorded and there will be LOTS of witnesses.
We love you Jen and you have SO many people who genuinely care about you. If there is anything we can do, please, just say the word.... we will be there.
I agree and record all future contact with this person or for that matter any staff my phone is always recording
Some states it’s illegal to record someone without permission others it’s legal as long as you’re part of the conversation she’d need to make sure it’s legal in Florida before she attempted that
@@howtowithelizabeth7513 you can record anyone except a lawyer and Dr that your not part of the legal point comes in because it may not be admitted in court ,but it does let the right people know your telling the truth and they can look else where for other evidence, I record everything
You can record anyplace there is no expectation of privacy... like inside your own house
I’m so sorry, and you are an awesome person ! I believe you .
I'm so sorry to hear what has happened to you. I believe you, you're not the type to lie. I'm proud of you for speaking up, just wish I knew how to help you. Big hugs from Adelaide, South Australia 🇦🇺 💖 🙏🦋🌻
This is heart breaking. Sending you a big hug.
Oh my goodness! I’m so sorry for what you are going through. Keep speaking out if you feel able. You are very brave and right and they are awful 😞 ❤
I’m sorry this happen to you I thought about being in a group home for people with disabilities to so i can have a life of my own but after so much that I seen personally even though what I seen was done to elderly at the store and now this I don’t even want to live in a group home we’re suppose to feel safe in a nursing home or a group and people can’t even feel safe because staff don’t care at all about their people they don’t give a crap as long as soon they get a dollar their happy money is all they apparently care about and that’s sad I’m so sorry you have to go through this I pray to god you can get your self placed in a better situation sweetie
Every one is here for u we believe you don’t give up you will be ok god is looking out for u and he will protect you and one day punish the people who done harm to you and to any others in their care
Don’t give up we’re here for u
...:( You are a kind, dignified, talented individual, and this planet needs more people like you--period! Your staff and supervisors, there, deserve to be exposed for the monsters that they are...as for others who take you to places, I would bet that they haven't been screened for anything--past priors, drugs, other conditions, etc. ALL persons deserve safety and dignity! The day this doesn't happen, it's time to clean house! You stand by the truth, Jennifer...we are right behind you!
I am so sorry Jen !! I believe every word you said. This is horrible! I don't really don't know what to say.
I am going to keep you in my prayers.
It is heavy to hear as I know things like this do happen. So thank you for presenting yourself so honestly and I am really sorry this happened to you especially as you had been work so hard to learn your part in the play. Know that God is with you and he knows what you go through.
So this is why your spark is fading. I've noticed a change in these last few months. This breaks my heart Jen.. There's a special place in hell for those type of mean people. Keep your head up. Love ya Jen
Jen, this breaks my heart! I totally believe you. I am sorry you have to go through this. They need to be held accountable for their actions. This is an outrage. Please be very careful , I am so very proud of you for telling your story. I pray the right person will hear this & do something to stop this abuse. I love you very much Jenn.❤
Hearing this just breaks my heart Jen. I'm so sorry your having to go through this. It's absolutely uncalled for. Please don't allow these mean people to break your soul. You're such an amazing young lady. You have a beautiful personality and a loving heart. You stand strong. Don't ever give up on things that you enjoy and fill your heart. Never stop believing in you. I'm sending love and positive thoughts your way. Forge ahead sweetie 😘.
Jen, this disgusts me so much! I'm so sorry you had to deal with someone who should not be working with people period, whether special needs or other wise. Sending healing hugs. ♥
I'm so sad this is happening to you I will pray that everything will work out is their somone who is the supervisors boss that can help you . Much love hun 💞
Aww Jen, I'm so sorry!! don't take this down!! And from here on out, record on your phone any interactions with staff that you have that you believe might be in retaliation. Record everything.
Sending you hugs. So sorry that’s happened 😢
I’m very sorry that happened to you I’m glad you’re speaking out, you definitely should. my familys helped me all my life. I’ve been blessed with a wonderful mom and sister, who always look after me.
Sometime in the middle of the night I need my sister to come for me and she comes no questions ask and so dose my mom.
.
I added this to a public playlist called "feminist discussion & social commentary" because I think its important that people hear your story. I've been victimized by medical/mental staff before and its always sooo frustrating.
Shouldn’t you have asked Jen first?
@@sylviaingram9910 I mean I guess, but this is a public video on a public channel.
you did the right thing by getting outof the car. I had a PCA drive over 100 mph because she was angry. I screamed. it was aweful. Some of these people are evil. and they are intentionally cruel, abusive and lie. I hope people send you cheer up mail and that they look into this seriously. This was so aweful.
Jennifer my heart is breaking for you! I know you have put so much time into your play and other activities! Don't let their actions force you to give up!! You have a whole community who loves you. I am praying for you sister!!! Always remember Jesus loves you!!!!
I am so sorry you had to go through. This is not ok. Keep standing up for yourself and what is best for you no one else. You are one strong women don’t let them win this battle.
Oh Jen I’m so sorry this is happening working with clients just like yourself it saddens me that there is people out there doing this sort of thing day in and day out if they don’t like the job don’t do it simple, I hope you find some good staff soon and don’t ever give up speaking out
Oh Jen, I'm so sorry this is happening to you! Don't take it down! Continue to speak out! I pray that those staff members get want is coming to them! This boils my blood that they're treating you like this! Jen remember I love you and you are an awesome person ❤️!
I'm so sorry, I believe you sending you a big big hug!!!
I'm so sorry this happened to you. My heart breaks...❤️❤️❤️
Oh Jen I’m so sorry. We love you so much and are glad you shared this video and your story. This is not your fault and you shouldn’t have to accept it. You’re an adult and a human and we all make mistakes but you did not make a mistake by getting out of that car. I’m so big mad that there are people in these facilities that exploit their power and mistreat others.
I'm sorry this is happening to you (and others), Jen. Gaslighting is no joke. Must have been so frustrating not to be able to go to your play. The fact that you are pretty happy most of the videos is a testament to the healing God has done in your life. Hope Lemmy is helping extra with your mental health at the moment. Praying things improve soon.
I am so sorry you have to endure this!! Don’t quit! Never give up because then evil wins! Stand firm in what you know is true. God and so many of us out here are always on your side!!!🤗🤗🤗
Jen please keep this video up. I am so deeply sorry you went through this! It is absolutely not okay. It upsets me so much that people like this choose a job like this and treat people with disabilities so horrible. You have been through so much in your life. You deserve to be treated absolutely amazing with respect. My heart is hurting so bad for you. What can we do to help you? 💔😢😢😢😢 we love you Jen!!
I am so sorry Jen that is terrible 😔 you are so strong and amazing thank you for sharing this video
I am so sorry to hear this Jen I hope you get this sorted fast .nobody should have to go through this especially who needs care & help .Big hugs
Hi Jen I believe you. Prayers for comfort and hugs. I’m asking God to let others know what is happening and find a solution to this. They need to remove people like this and not let them work in as a caregiver anymore. Many hugs and prayers. Keep being you as your a beautiful soul. 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏🙏🐾🐾🐾 Much love 💕
Jennifer, you are such a sweet young lady and I'm so sorry you're going through this! Hopefully, things will get better for you. You need to reach out to someone who will believe you and they will do something about it. Good luck Sweetie!
Oh Jen, I'm sooo sorry. That's terrible. I thought you were in a good place. Just keep speaking up. Try to stay strong. Things will get better again.
Jennifer, I am so sorry for what you have endured and for the unfair treatment and abuse you have suffered through. Please continue to share your stories and speak up. You are a strong advocate. Continue the fight because the world needs to hear your stories or nothing will change. I'm sorry you have not been treated with the dignity and respect you deserve.
Jen, I'm so SO sorry this happened. And, even more sorry that you weren't heard, listened to, and believed by those that are supposed to be supporting you. I, and many others here, hear you, believe you, and support you. I pray that the staff doesn't try to make things worse for you, and know that your family is just looking out for you too.
Please don't give up the things that make you happy.
If you do another play, would you be allowed to always have a member of the cast be your transportation? Please don't stop doing the things that you love.
Sending prayers that you get new/better staff. I love the relationships that you've had with some of your past staff, and Tara too. Praying for you, and sending hugs your way.
I want to give you a big hug Jen! You’re such a beautiful, kind, and loving person! I’m praying for you love 💕
Big hugs to you Jen always remember you are awesome and you don't deserve to be treated cruel!
Jen I'm so sorry this kind of thing happened to you. I have a granddaughter with Down Syndrome and I worry about her a lot. She is 6 years old and has a twin brother and two older brothers. None of the boys have Downs. They are very protective of her. But as we know children as well as adults can be cruel especially to anyone that is different. Sloane is a girl of few words. But she works with speech pathologist and hopefully her words will increase with time. I have been watching you for a couple years now and you have a special place in my heart. I ordered two of your books and donated one to the public library and kept one for myself. I cried more than once while reading it. You amaze me with your many talents. Never give up sweet girl. Give the problems to God he will handle them for you. I love you and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers!!
I’m so sorry that happened to you. It’s not fair and it’s not your fault. The only advice I can offer is to keep a log (or journal) with dates and descriptions of the negative stuff that happens to you. Even writing down stuff that’s already happened. Then you have a written record of events in case you need to take this to someone higher up at that residence. Or even if there’s ever legal action against the facility, you would have a personal record of events. Again I’m so sorry and I hope things get better.
Sadly if these abusive staff find it I bet it will go “missing” or they’ll claim she’s delusional and making it up 😕
@@howtowithelizabeth7513 I agree it’s possible but it would be better than nothing. She could have it saved to her computer and backed up to her email. Or backed up on a flash drive. As long as she doesn’t tell anyone or leave it where staff can easily see it then it would be fine. And the purpose of having it wouldn’t be to prove it to the staff. It would be important if the facility was ever under investigation.
My heart hurts for you. I wish you better days ahead! I pray the abuse stops. I believe you! ❤️
I'm sorry Jen That this is happening to you. And if you're right it does happen all over the world but please I don't care what people say do not take this post down it needs to be made public so that people can try to get the stuff to stop happening I used to work with mentally challenged and handicapped people and I used to drive them places and I actually had a place shut down due to the abuse it's sad and it shouldn't happen they should not be doing this to people but I'm glad you're speaking out about it Jen that shows a lot of courage but my advice though Jen is start making sure your cell phone is always on you and make sure you always have it on video when you're with staff because that will help your case and a lot of different ways if you ever need help I'm a message away I put my phone number on here but I don't want the whole world having it but if there's a way for you to message me quietly you know personally just me and you I'll give you my number and you can call and talk to me anytime Jen I watch every video that you play and you're awesome and you're great and I know how hard you worked for this play and it hurts me that they hurt you guys that way and all of us was always because it's not right and I wish I could help make a difference in that I know I tried to do stuff up here and I have gotten people arrested up here for hurting staff hurting their clients but if there's anything I can do for you Jen please feel free to reach out to me.
Oh dear me Jen, I feel your pain. Stuff like this should have never happened. Remember you are loved by many who follow you, no one has the right to abuse you
oh, Jen I'm so sorry you had to go through that. No, you need to speak up that is not acceptable.
I hope things get better don't quite what you like to do because that's makes them the winners.
Don't take it down. People need to know how you and others are being treated. So change can be made. I enjoy your videos and love seeing how creative you are. You bring a smile to my husband and myself everytime we view your videos. We loved your law and order video and would love to see more. Please keep that smile on your face and know we all care.
Don’t ever stop speaking up for yourself. You sharing your truth may help yourself and many others. 💞
Jen I'm so so sorry you have went through all of this😢. I have family members that's been in group homes and my family has pulled them out because of this exact thing. So I believe everything you've stated, it's a disturbing world out there😢. Stand your ground Hun and stay strong you're such an inspiration to so many. We love you and pray everything will get better and maybe this video will change someone that does these disgusting things. Love ya girl and miss your daily vlogs. ❤️❤️❤️
Lots of hugs to you Jen.
I'm so sorry this happened to you. People suck sometimes. Know that we hear you and love you. Please stay strong.
