Now I want to start this off by basically admitting that I was a pretty horrible kid at 14 and I definitely deserved to be put into the facility I was in, I’m not gonna say why as I feel like most of you will think I’m making it up and I don’t want that to take away from the actual events that I’m about to describe in any way…so here goes…
When I was 14 (I’m a mail just for reference) I committed a pretty insane crime that rocked the town of Lincoln City, Oregon and destroyed a well established business completely. For doing this I was sentenced to an indeterminate amount of time in state care ( I ended up serving 4 and a half years). I got to Maclaren, which is a juvenile delinquency prison in Woodburn Oregon and I was set up in the introductory area known as tent c. They had four different introductory tents, tent a, b, c and d. I was there for about two weeks when I was called into the MIU or medical. When I got there I noticed how old and miserable the place looked, paint chipping off of The brick walls and gross lime green and off white paint scheme that would put your grand mother to shame. Eventually I heard my name and I walked back to the doctors area where an elderly man sat at a chair. He smiled and told me to stand against the wall and remove my pants and shirt. I was told it was for an intake physical so I did as I was told. I noticed that he hadn’t had any gloves on at all and he wheeled himself over to where I stood. I asked him if he was going to out in some gloves and he didn’t say anything…when he was right in front of me I just kindof froze up out of disgust and terror as he began doing things that were disgusting and completely out of the scope of a doctor doing a physical… When it was over I put my clothes back on as fast as I could and ran back to my unit crying… Which I was immediately singled out for and beat on in the bathroom later for being a… Pussy… This happened probably another 20ish times while I was there until I was transferred to another facility for fighting… Recently a law suit has been brought against the facility and I am apparently part of a class action case with ten of his other victims… He had a name that even the staff knew… Doctor cold fingers.

Im so sorry that happened to you, OP. I hope you are doing better now.
As someone who testified against a child abuser, no punishment is good enough if they are still standing.
I am beyond words. I am so sorry. I imagine the last thing you want is sympathy, however, I wanted to say that you and seen, heard and you matter.
People like that “man” deserve the worst kinds of punishment. That still wouldn’t amount to the pain they caused. I only hope their hell loops are beyond our capacity of imagining
There’s a class action lawsuit going on you might want to look into
