We do more than report.
We document institutional or systemic harm, search for the missing, and amplify voices dismissed, discredited, or silenced by authority.

Submit StoryWe are Lighthouse Guardians. An investigative justice and storytelling collective committed to truth, dignity, and protection.
Our work exists at the intersection of testimony, investigation, and reform. We seek the missing, examine harm within institutional and custodial systems, and bear witness to abuse experiences long minimized, mischaracterized, or silenced - particularly within systems entrusted with care, custody, or control.
We center the voices of those harmed while under the authority or care of systems meant to protect them, including mental health institutions, medical settings, faith-based organizations, schools, and public agencies.
Through survivor-led testimony, disciplined field inquiry, and open-source intelligence analysis, we expose patterns of abuse, neglect, coercion, and ritualized harm that persist through secrecy and silence.
To expose hidden harm and use truth to compel accountability, reform, and protection.

Lighthouse Guardians is supported by a growing collective of advocates, crisis-response professionals, trauma-informed individuals, investigators, storytellers, and reform-minded advisors.
Our collective includes individuals with lived experience of institutional or ritualized harm as well as those with field experience responding to missing persons cases, systemic failure, and custodial abuse. We also collaborate with partners who have the influence, resources, and ethical commitment required to support meaningful reform without compromising survivor safety or narrative control.
This is where testimony will live. Not as content or as spectacle. But as carefully held truth.
This archive is currently being built with intention and care.
The first stories are undergoing review, contextualization, and safety preparation prior to publication.
When released this space will hold survivor testimony that documents patterns of harm, illuminates systemic failure, and supports accountability and reform without compromising dignity or safety.
