Dwayne Walker, HEAL CA Coordinator, was enrolled at Trinity Christian Academy (1980) in Jacksonville, Florida, where he attended classes with those incarcerated at the Victory  Home for Girls.  After Bob Gray, the founder of TCA, was arrested for child molestation, he learned from victims of Victory they were not allowed to talk about the length beating sessions that occurred at the home.   He attended the University of South Florida after his three week stint at Bob Jones University came to an end after he was told he needed to support the University in all its endeavors.  He became a videographer whose interview with a survivor ultimately resulted in re-opening the case against Victory Christian Academy, an abusive school in Ramona, California, that resulted in it's eventual closure and the owner being told he could not work with children in California until his facility was licensed.

 

"I was under the false sense of security that California was one of the leaders in regulating children's facilities.  Recent events at Family First Growth Camp under Kelvin 'Sgt Mac' McFarland indicates this is not the case.  It's time for an active group to monitor the troubled teen industry in California and mobilize survivors and supporters to take action and use whatever legal means are necessary to bring about an end to the abuse."


He previously worked as college organizer for the Humanist Association of Los Angeles and media co-ordinator for Atheists United.  He wrote satire for Poppy Dixon's Adult Christianity and produced/directed the first YouTube video featuring characters from the satirical site, Landover Baptist Church in 'Protesting Southern Baptist Sissies'. He also produced 'Don't Go In The Church', a response to the Bob Gray child molestation scandal in Jacksonville, Florida. He also organized a public awareness meeting in Jacksonville concerning clergy abuse that was the lead story on First Coast News.

 

Walker is one of the founding members of SIA. During his time at SIA Organization, he got the organization noticed in Mother Jones, two ABC News On-line reports, and produced 'They Didn't Forget', which was instrumental in drawing survivors from different facilities to SIA Organization.  He also wrote the text for the Proclamation for the International Day of Awareness for Survivors of Institutional Abuse which was read by Mark Levine at the SIA Convention in Long Beach, CA in on February 25, 2012.


Christian School Confidential, his novel about abuse within the world of the IFB (independent fundamental baptist) is on sale now.
