It shows how many people here really believe this happens everyday at TBS's or wilderness. I know differently, kids are not Duct taped from head to toe and thrown into an ocean during a typhoon, the same as they are not made to march without food. These are all distortions to scare parents away...
Well as far as the tape.. Go watch the PBS documentary on Montana TBS's. Now watch carefully... as a parent actually witnessed it... And that happened here, in the glorious USA. As far as the marching without food? Go read this blog:
http://www.63days.com/. That too, happened in this country. And before discounting THAT survivors testomony, you should google Steve Cartesano.
anyone coming on here for the first time might believe some of the stories told, but as the stories grow and grow you loose the ability (credibility) to scare people aware from these places.
I just think it is funny that everyone buys into this crap like its a religion or something and its sacrilegious to not believe everything or talk against it as I do.
Ya know... Not all schools are that bad, it doesn't have to be Auschwitz to be a bad place. Yeah some places are horrific. And you apparently are too arrogant to admit it could happen here. You've seen the abuse I described in Romania first hand. You've seen the street kids. I've seen them beaten publicly and others just go about thier business. You have the audacity to deny it happened at all in
Western fucking Samoa... Where kids are used as cannon-fodder in the army?!?! This is just human nature buddy, and it's sick. It happens everywhere given a chance.
Sometimes the things you say are just... beyond the pale. I would probably be angrier, but people saying "oh that doesn't happen, you're exagerating" is all to common. One day i'll snap and demonstrate the proper breakdown technique on such a person... Until then, i've heard it all before. You're just another program parent in denial, refusing to acknowlege the shit he put his daughter through, and looking for some type of rational exhonoration ... some validation ... by confronting those who are just like the one you personally hurt. Maybe you're right to be skeptical, but keep it to yourself. You weren't there. You don't know what happened, an for the record
it hurts every time somebody says "oh that didn't happen"... It's like being in program all over again, trying to tell your parents what's going on, and being accused of manipulating.
FUCK YOU!! it happened. OK.
