Positive in the end
Girl (I'll call her Benjamina) last night came yelling to the staff about how a girl apparently came to her while she was sleeping and-- instead of asking her to move so the girl could access her bin-- the girl moved her aside. Then she said the girl "twisted my feet and took my shoe off." Then Benjamina upped the ante-- the girl had tried to take her pants off. At first a staff member I'll call Abby told her she'd be thrown out if she kept yelling n swearing but then Benjamina explained that she had trauma from sleeping on busses for 4 years and never laying down to sleep in years and getting poked, prodded, punched (and even literally pissed on once) by bus drivers. Then she talked about having been in the psych ward and being forcibly injected with stuff and that was another reason she had trauma around being touched especially without warning. The staffer Abby suddenly became really sympathetic and listened and made suggestions and told her the staff would ask her to move if she ever needed to move and no one else would touch her.
