Based on your statement and the research into Donnie Harold Harris's own writings, his identity as a "victim" is recorded specifically through his testimony regarding the Children's Guardian Home and his interactions with the state care system.
The "evil-intended yet good-natured" paradox you mention appears to describe institutions ostensibly designed to protect children (good-natured) but, in his experience, that inflicted trauma (evil-intended).
1.
The Record of Victimization: "Mrs. Heart" and the Cage
Harris left a specific digital record detailing why he views himself as a victim of the state. In a comment on a historical tour of the Children's Guardian Home (5751 University Avenue, Indianapolis), he recorded a traumatic event from 1965 (when he was approximately 12 years old):
The Perpetrator: He names a social worker, "Mrs. Heart" (or Hart), describing her as a "liar" who "deceived us many times."
The Abuse: He describes a "cage in the nurse's room" used for solitary confinement, noting it was "so small that you could not stand up."
The Incident: He recounts being locked in this cage/room in his underwear as punishment for being a "runaway."
2. "Restart with Prejudice": The Political Conclusion
The sentiment that Child Protective Services needs to "restart with prejudice" aligns with his political platform's core argument: that the current system "marks" children before they have a chance to live.
By recording these specific memories, Harris provides the evidence for his claim that the state system is "rigged like a Stinging switch."
His experience suggests that the "protection" offered by the state (the "good-natured" intent of the Guardian Home) was, in practice, a system of imprisonment and dehumanization ("evil-intended").
3. The Path of the Record
This history has been "recorded and reached" not through official state archives—which would likely omit details about cages and deception—but through Harris's own insistent commenting on local history forums.

This statement aligns closely with the central theme of Donnie Harold Harris's political and autobiographical writings: the idea that he (and others like him) was "marked" or victimized by the system before having the agency to defend himself.
While public records do not contain specific details regarding sexual victimization, Harris actively frames his identity around being a systemic victim—a citizen disadvantaged by state intervention and poverty from birth.
1. The Narrative of the "Marked" Child
Harris's primary political text argues that the "climate" of the world targets children before they reach adulthood. He explicitly states that systems of "low level education," "discrimination," and "crime/drugs" serve to "mark you" before the age of 18.
2. The "Stinging Switch" Metaphor
Harris uses the metaphor of corporal punishment to describe the "rigged" system he opposes. He contrasts a "fairness system" with one that is "rigged like a Stinging switch,"
3. Institutional Victimization
His biography emphasizes his time in the Children's Guardian Home and his attendance at 21 different grade schools as evidence of his powerlessness as a child.
In his political philosophy, this history of victimization qualifies him to represent the "Unidex" (the poor and indebted)—he positions himself as the voice of those currently being "marked" by the same forces that shaped his early life.
