“My name is Chanel Banks, I’m a 36 year old American bastard, and all my life I’ve silently endured the pain of ritual…abuse, manipulation, and endless endless suffering that I’ve suffered continuously since I was born a defenseless child at the hands of my own so-called family and who is very concerned about my current whereabouts,” she told True Crime News in a November statement. “I met with the police and made sure that not only was I okay, but I was finally released.”
Banks also claimed that she had not been in touch with her relatives for a long time.
“For decades, my family has been my spiritual, physical and emotional guardian, denying me the authority of my own person,” she continued. “I had no right to make any decisions in life without their approval. … Every time I got close to leaving they falsified official government documents that lied about my mental health – for the record – I have no mental health or any other records other than a parking ticket here and there , so the law enforcement agencies would relentlessly and mercilessly persecute me.”
