Understanding Mental Illness |
Lexington High School 251 Waltham Street Lexington, Massachusetts 02421 January 29, 1985 Vanessa has maintained a rigorous curriculum of college preparatory courses, earning a solid B grade point average and most recently a quite impressive scattering of A marks in her second quarter of her senior year, while many of her peers begin to regress. Outside of school she has made many invaluable contributions to Green Peace and the Humane Society's spade and neuter program. Vanessa has been peer nominated the field hockey Captain. She has maintained a positive attitude amidst a broken wrist and rigorous fall curriculum. She is a natural leader, who single-handedly changed raised money for new uniforms for the Lexington high school field hockey. Whether Vanessa is studying for a Science exam or volunteering in the community, Vanessa gives each task her heart and soul. I can state with absolute certainty that Vanessa will make a tremendous contribution to your field hockey program at the University of New Hampshire. Sincerely, Muzzy FORMAL COMPLAINT AGAINST UNH I am Vanessa's mother Julia Plumb.. I have taught my daughter all the qualities of being a lady and respecting justice. Vanessa is the victim of a corrupt institution. Field hockey is just one short stop in her life's journey, which she intends to use for in her attributes and manner for the betterment and greater good of mankind.. . I hold every possible administrative UNH employee including the office of the President accountable for the actions in this investigation maybe libel for possible criminal behavior. I am putting you on notice that my report is correct and the truth. I have watched Vanessa slowly become increasingly depressed and exhibit severe symptoms of anorexia and bulimia as a result of being discriminated against for the clear infraction that she knownly committed by smoking marijuana with 7 other girls from the UNH field Hockey team. She was called for a random "Drug Screening" and tested positive. . Vanessa's loyalty to her team lead her to lie in her statement to UNH investigator Boner. Mr. Boner kicked Vanessa off the UNH women's field hockey program. A boy, Rimon, who tested positive for marijuana, was allowed to continue to play for the UNH men's filed hockey program. I have discovered from my daughter's heart felt confession that she had sexual relations with Rimon and shared the marijuana with him. I am willing to sign an affidavit as is Vanessa that my report is truthful. There is clearly an example of discrimination against my daughter Vanessa Plumb. Sincerely, Julia Plumb Portsmouth Parvillion Portsmouth Hospital Dear Mom, I have admitted myself for psychiatric evaluation . The bullying at UNH drove me to try crack cocaine. While under its influence I engaged in public nudity in Down Town Portsmouth and had sex with a fire plug. I was arrested for public indecency and am awaiting a court date. . I want to wish you a Happy Mother's Day. I wish it had been a better year for all of us mothers. I have been diagnosed pregnant. I believe the father to be Rimon Makhlouf, the field hockey player. I can only tell you how ashamed and truly sorry I am for my failure in judgement and unforgivable things I have said to you. I spend hours with a counselor discussing my options with my face wet with tears. UNH has expelled me. I know I will honor you by working hard to be a good mother to my son Devo. I have accepted Islam and hope to marry Rimon. You taught me a person does not have to feel ashamed for their mistakes. It is how you handle mistakes that matters. You made it safe to tell the truth and tried to help me problem solve... Love, Vanessa Plumb |
