Since AIS is currently being discussed I just wanna throw in my personal experiences.
1) I think I got 2 seperate case numbers. 1 for AVA and one from AIS (I had a one time abuse incident at a camp so Don't think I should have 2 case numbers). I signed up through AIS and it is a bearded guy that I see in the update videos. I have no idea if this is just me not understanding what I received in the early days of the lawsuit or if the AIS numbers could possibly be as much as double what it truly is.
2 I sent a support email months ago when their was some searchable list by cases posted here and couldn't find mine and asked for clarification. Still haven't gotten any response back from that email.
Also it really left a sour taste in my mouth the way the guy that handled my case when I sent it to AIS kept talking to me super casually and using a lot of emojis when texting me. Came off really tone deaf to say the least.
Also when I made my statement over the phone and then written, I was told and reassured that I would not have to go through the process of telling the story of what happened to me again but it seems people on this thread think that it's a given that we will absolutely have to testify.
If it looks like that is the case then is it wise for those of us that were abused to participate in this thread or at least purge our comments when it gets closer to the final hours?
I can see them saying stuff like " well you seemed just as interested in talking about red vs green loops or your personal experiences during camp or some third off topic thing discussed" and then use the stuff we post here as a wedge to basically say " see they aren't doing so bad, why should we pay anything more than the minimum?".
At this point in the race I feel like I hitched my wagon to the wrong horse, or maybe that I should have never bothered leaving the stable.
