File Maggots - Silenced - real

Ella

In the middle of the night a 13-year-old girl by the name of Lee we're going to call her Lee

Ella

She would sneak out of her dorm room she lived in this boarding school near the mountains in South Korea like near the southern tip of South Korea, and it's not just regular boarding school

Ella

The boarding school was strictly for students who had mental physical and or intellectual disabilities they were always under close watch and supervision

Ella

So for her to sneak out at night it was terrifying she could hear the Crickets the sound of owls

Ella

She could hear her feet pitter-patter through the field

Ella

she's getting close to the outside school Gates

Ella

She just needs to get past that and into the parked car she opens the passenger side and hops in

Ella

This time there's two people in the car

Ella

Lee glances around to make sure that no teacher no administrator saw her get in here she'd be severely punished if she was caught sneaking out to talk to her reporters

Ella

but worse things have happened in this boarding school, and she was ready to tell the journalists everything

Ella

So it's a known fact almost like clockwork in this school especially on the weekends the students would go to sleep petrified they would wear as many layers as possible even in the scorching heat of South Korean Summers

Ella

They would pull their blankets up straight up to their neck sometimes even cover their heads, and they would wait they can't fall asleep on the weekends

Ella

It's almost like you're waiting for a boogeyman a ghost to come in

Ella

If they're lucky nothing happens they wake up sleep-deprived

Ella

If they're unlucky they hear the door click open and someone is getting into the beds with the students

Ella

Most of the time all you heard were muffled voices for help

Ella

He usually put a pillow over their heads

Ella

Everyone in the dorm rooms knows what's happening

Ella

They all know who it is

Ella

They all know, but they can't dare say a single word

Ella

Instead they all pretend to be asleep praying that they're not next

Ella

But it wasn't just at night or just in the dorms

Ella

She told the journalists about how much the kids hated something called movie time

Ella

Certain teachers would turn on movies for the whole class and the teacher would sit in the very very back in the shadows call over two to three female students to sit in the back with him

Ella

And he would assault them in front of a classroom full of students and nobody ever tried to tell the parents or anyone what happened

Ella

She said will he threaten to kill us

Ella

So it's just that one teacher the one that plays the movies or is he the the same one that sneaks into the dorm rooms

Ella

No there's more
