this just gives me an impression of a young girl comeing in with a suitcase and her parrents to drop her off and looking around being impressed by the first impression and then the poor girl being led up to the floor she will be staying on ... somehow this bothers me because such a contrast was this from what it was truely like through the rest of this building for so so many kids so very sad ... comments ? email to justicedreams24@aol.com

Strange Bathroom

spidergirl

ok just a thought but sence these people wher abusive would it be possable that this was used as an intimidation tactic meaning like if they didnt do what they wher told to they would be made to walk up the stairs and wher told if you dont do this or that ill push you out !??? sadistic it's true but i have to figure these people wher messed up sence they beat kids any thoughts on my idea? email me at justicedreams24@aol.com

Ancient Room

spidergirl

heres just an empathic guess but based on how i felt when i first saw this im going to asume.... that this was a place they put sick children ... to die... again i know that sounds horrid but ... i cant think of anything elt's and the feeling i get from this sends me just mently running right back out the way i can as if i just saw something that was very disturbing in the way sick kids dying would be disturbeing anyone feel the same or have anything to input about my perception ? email me at justicedreams@aol.com

Examination Light

spidergirl

to me the solitary chair idea makes me get this feeling of being so alone and on the spot ... it's as if to remins us of how alone people are in these places and how very " studied " they felt its almost unbareable to imagine dont you agree?

email me at justicedreams24@aol.com let me know your take on this !

spidergirl

Show Me to the Suction Machine

spidergirl

instead of takeing thing's perhaps when visiting you should consider leaveing something behind like a gift... for the souls who spent their lives there perhaps a flower... or a bunch of flowers... to me this is no different then visiting a grave site... it just seems apropriate to leave a small token as a flower behind... kind of like a thanks for shareing your lives your pain with us ... thats for effecting us on our visit... type thing dont you all agree? email comments or thoughts to justicedreams24@aol.com

Safety Bathroom

spidergirl

it might be just the empathic in me but right about now i just would cry if i was there im fighting back the tears as we speak this is the saddest place .. just so very sad...

Safety Chair

spidergirl

ok this confuses me ... solitary confinement is a hard brick room where they could beat their heads against walls and they have cement play rooms... yet they have a soft chair in case they get hurt ??? it would hurt my mind to much to even try to make sence of this stuff

any comment's or ideas email to justicedreams24@aol.com

Children

spidergirl

to me this picture is positive to me it shows that in a place like this perhaps all these kids had was eachother... so reguardless of what was wrong with them they stood together as friend's looking off into the distance as if being together freed their spirit in some way ... am i thee only one who sees it this way ? email me at justicedreams24@aol.com let me know !!!

Seclusion Room Door

spidergirl

i agree ... i mean accidents happen and some places are haunted do you do anything to prevent such a thing from happening? i would seriously hate being stuck in any of the places you go after dark with no way out... shivers... email justicedreams24@aol.com let me know!

Seclusion Room

spidergirl

ok heres the thing.. this being a childrens hospital... wouldnt you think the staff would better be able to get padded walls as a means of protection... i mean i just get the feeling that these kids wher just allowed to bang their heads against the wall wich im sorry is abuse self inflicted or not i think they should protect them against themselves but seeings how staff beat kids here i doubt they cared much ... any comments email to justicedrems24@aol.com

Seclusion Window

spidergirl

again heres just a hunch but could this be some place children wher put to die? i know i know this sounds very unsettling but think of the history here ... kids wher abused in every part of this building... so why a special room ? id be interrested in knowing just how bad this was on the otherside that they stuck the worst ones here sence they beat the others... any comments ... send to justicedreams24@aol.com

Weight Loss

spidergirl

yea is it just me .... or is this just other form of abuse ? to me this in a childrens hospital is just waaay outta line.. !!! i find it hard to believe they even fed these kids enough to need such a thing unfortunatly any comments send to justicedreams24@aol.com

Cell

spidergirl

the thing that upsets me about this one is that every child needs love... being held stories read to them ... i dont get a sence these kids had ANYTHING like that i feel as if they wher a burden to the staff.. as if something to be tollerated for their pay ... i dont feel an ounce of love or good intention comeing from this place what so ever ... being empathic i just feel so very sad with this one... parts of me wish i could turn back time and work there so i could have offerd some sort of peace to these poor poor kids!!! god rest their souls.... any comments email to justicedreams24@aol.com

Drip Door

spidergirl

maybe it's the empathic in me but when i see this room i see a small child sitting in the corner holding it's head screaming non stop ... just screaming for god only knows what.... maybe it's just me ... any comment's on what you all get from this ? email to justicedreams24@aol.com

Wash Room

spidergirl

i dont understand the use for the hall way windows eigther i mean ... if it was for the staff so they could observe the children as they bathed... then why didnt they just sit in with them ?? i think it was just i dont know ... it just seems so creepy .. wouldnt that encourage sexual thing's among patients? i mean am i wrong for thinking patients seeing patience nude would encourage inapropriate behavior? any comments or ideas email me at justicedreams24@aol.com

The Sisters

spidergirl

i dont think what people are called makes much of a difference of how they are treated meaning if there is someone sick working in these places and they want to abuse or molest some patient they will do so reguardless of what you call them because to them few .. people the people who live in these places are just thing's to use and abuse ... though your stories do interrest me ... if you have any more share with us ... i worked in a elderly home... with patients we called them residence... bless you ! email with any stories or comment's at justicedreams24@aol.com

Shining Sterility

spidergirl

im sorry but it's hard for me to imagine you felt alone in this building meaning... even me looking at these pictures i imagine myself walking down the hall and constantly look behind me as i feel the eyes of children watching me .. any comment's ? email me at justicedreams24@aol.com

Know Thyself

spidergirl

based on the history as it is told here this is just the type of thing i feel went on in all the hospitals... i mean think of it ... you mean to tell me every nurse that worked in any of these hospitals at the time treated their patients well? i hardly think so even to this day abuse isnt a far fetched thing to occure... and the very fact that this happend to children.. is pure evil.. i wouldnt doubt the souls of these poor babys still can be heard screaming for help in the middle of the night by people .... any input or comments email me at justicedreams24@aol.com

Back Room

spidergirl

perhaps this was a room used for punishment for those who acted up from time to time? or perhaps a room for extras like medications the nurses may have used ? email me to let me know your opinions on my idea? at justicedreams24@aol.com

Bathroom

spidergirl

this make me wonder how many activities did these people have to do with others? useing restrooms and showers and god only knows what elt's the lack of privacy would drive me crazy !!! shouldnt there be some sort of effort to preserve their modesty and respect them as people deserveing privacy from other patients i can understand if a nurse had to be with them at all times but did your bunk mate have to watch you take a dump too ? weird isnt it ? email comments to justicedreams24@aol.com

Carriage

spidergirl

if it was for a child it worries me that a child would be put in the same hospital as adults... and perhaps maybe it could also be for an underdeveloped mently ill patient someone small for their age and weak ?email comments to justicedreams24@aol.com

Tower in the Distance

spidergirl

it may look pretty to us but imagine this being the only view you have to the outside world knowing you might never be in it again ? i just get so sad looking at these pictures i just imagine some poor confused lonely woman sadly gazeing out the window at a life she will never have a chance to live... so very sad

Wooden Box

spidergirl

just a thought but perhaps could it be used to deliver something from one floor to another ? maybe even in secret like it wasnt maybe intended for it but it was used to it? did you happen to notice if this led to an open space on another floor? just odd i sence it was used as some sort of delivery method or storage place i feel maybe secretly by a nurse any validation to this ? email me at justicedreams24@aol.com thanks
