[Faith-talk] update on my friend in Iowa

[Beth Taurasi]

Dear List,
I have several updates on Nick.  Nick and I and our friends talked last 
night, and this is his situation: he cannot have a private conversation 
with me without being slapped with punishment by the parents/guardians 
or staff at the group home.  HE is also not allowed an iphone, and the 
guardians plan to lessen his independence.  Nick says he wants me to 
fight even though his friends are saying that me fighting to get him out 
in a better place is fruitless.  Well, I'm going to win this fight.  If 
anyone wants to message me privately about my petition, the email is at 
the bottom of the letter.  Please, keep praying.  I will put this in the 
De Moines Register, and I'm about to go all out in a media campaign to 
expose what's going on in group homes in this country.  It's reminding 
me of puppy mills, America's shameful but best kept secret.  Disabled 
people are treated like children or puppies, and the puppies and their 
"lives" are at stake.  I am determined to get this place busted for even 
allowing this to happen.  Keep the faith, my friends.
