After escaping a highly traumatic childhood with her mom and her partner in Montague, Taylor Wilson spent the better part of her adolescence living in a group home in Charlottetown.
Now 24 and living in Nova Scotia, Wilson says no child or teen should live under such institutionalized conditions for an extended period of time.
“The staff don’t love you, from the very get-go they tell you that ‘we’re not your parents,’” she said. “It’s like you are growing up in an artificial environment with no real love.”
