Buckhorns Children's Foundation is an organization that helps girls and boys between the ages 8-17, and autistic boys between the ages of 8-21. The organization has different treatment types for these boys and girls that have been severely abused. These children have undergone the worst abuse and are undergoing treatment to change their mindsets. Many of these children when asked what they want to be when they grow up, they response, "I want to be a pimp, drug dealer, or pornstar." This treatment will allow for these children to want to go to college to get an education when they have finished the program. Due to budget cuts and struggling to get funding from the federal government many kids can only stay for 8 months which is not enough time to treat these kids. Within the honors seminar youth abuse, a trip was taken down to Buckhorn to interact with the girls and to paint the cottage that some of the girls were staying in. The girls cottage that we painted were new arrivals to the program. It was very humbling to read some of the words they wrote on the furniture in the room. Most of them wrote that they hated themselves, or the things their parents said about them. I wanted to just help these children anyway possible. I felt awful that they have to experience something like this within their life. The hardest thing to look at is that all these girl are suicidal so there were a ton of cuts along their wrists. At this point I wanted to ask them what I could do to make them forget. These girls have endured a lot in their lives and they need some type of affection in order to form the attachments. Overall this experience was very humbling and showed me that I need to get more involved in helping my immediate community learn all the signs of abused, so these children no longer have to ensured this pain for so long.
