Horrific. Vista Maria has been a house of horrors for decades and needs to be thoroughly investigated. The treatment of their clients is like something out of a traumatic drama movie, except it is real. It is blatantly and abundantly obvious that those who truly run things at Vista Maria only care about money. They do not care at all about the girls here, their clients. Girls are subjected to extreme physical, s*xual, emotional, mental, and even spiritual punishment. Over the decades, countless girls have been r*ped, abused, put under strange and unusual punishment, harassed, intimidated, stalked, and tortured under the "care" of Vista Maria. When these girls try to report these horrific things, nothing has ever been done. In fact, most of them are punished or met with verbal abuse, harassment, and ridicule. Vista Maria is registered in the System for Award Management for doing business with and bidding for contracts with the United States government (Cage Code 5FFAS). Truly, for those poor girls who are "in the system", it is little more than a human trafficking hub. Some of the staff mean well, but a large percentage of the staff over the decades have inflicted mental, emotional, and at times physical and s*xual abuse. Some have even inflicted harm in some way based on others' religious beliefs. Vista Maria is supposed to be a safe, secure, clean, positive environment, but it is not, and has not been for decades. I hope someone is able to get an actual investigation going on how they mistreat their clients. All the girls who have suffered lifelong trauma at the hands of Vista Maria, deserve to have their voices actually heard
