They are child prisons. I was in one at age 15 16 then turned 18 in cook county jail after having my arm broken by a jail guard. The doctors at the hospital at age 15 told my mother to lock me out, she did.
ReplyI never got better I just try to do the next right thing, something our govenment and police could NEVER do
You are amazing Samantha. Thank you and please don’t stop.
ReplyThat chit needs checks fed boys.
ReplyThis just sounds suspiciously like conversion therapy but not about sexuality.
ReplyThese segments need to be longer
ReplyWon’t somebody think of the children? And not as some cashcow or clay to be moulded into perfect obedient little puppets.
I am, alas, wholly unsurprised at US congress’ inability to act on this.
ReplyLife is an endless slog of going in circles until you die.

Couldn’t have said it better myself, hon! Keep rockin’!
ReplyRead about this industry in Cracked five years ago. Made me realize American culture loves children but hates childhood.
ReplyI’m sure these facilities will be run by qualified education professionals and closely monitored for impropriety by an appropriate oversight body with the powwer to shut them down and censure their operators. Right…. right?
ReplyI don’t get how everyone dealing with those kids doesn’t have to be a registered child psychologist or at least have qualifications in psychiatry.
ReplyMake it make sense.
I remember reading a book about this in high school. It was like a “based on a true story” novel with shocking facts about these very real facilities in the last few pages. I found it horrific, and the kind of thing my dad would absolutely insist on if I had “acted out” as a teenager. Scared the living daylights out of me and disgusted me to my core. I always wondered why it wasn’t in the news, thank goodness awareness is being raised!
ReplyToo many of these avoid overview by claiming to be religious-based. Yet another reason to abolish all privileges granted to religions.
ReplyGOOD BLESS YOU SAMANTHA
ReplyWhy are parents truly sending them to these places instead of using the social services in their area for which they pay taxes? Privileged? i.e. Paris Hilton
ReplyI went to a wilderness therapy and therapeutic boarding school. When Paris Hilton says that you get literally kidnapped by strangers to go there, she’s not lying. And the people that took me had the gall to tell me that I would probably be back by the end of the weekend. It was actually 2 years.
It is so much worse than they’re making it sound here.. Traumatized me for life.
