I found this story on the MSNBC (http://http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17173897/) website, a good read. What got me was how language stinking of program/P-parent speak was used to justify the abuse....
- Sharen Gravelle told the court the children were never confined as punishment but rather to protect them, including a child who wanted to jump out a second-floor window.
"Would you prefer that we let them jump? Either way, we'd be here. The difference is they're still alive," she said in a 26-minute statement"
- "What do you do with these kids?" Michael Gravelle asked. "I prayed constantly for the answer."
He said the enclosures(cages) resulted from the suggestions of a social workers, who recommended strict rules to improve the children's behavior.I though he said that the cages were not used for punishment
- One Gravelle child testified he was forced to live in a bathroom for 81 days, sleeping in a bathtub because of a bed-wetting problem. The Gravelles' attorneys said the boy exaggerated[/color] the length of his bathroom stay, and an expert for the defense testified that the technique helped the boy.[/color]
Does that not smack of program speak, or what.......

"I'm begging you," Michael Gravelle told the judge. "I do not deserve jail."
Word of the day: Ream.

Yes. That's what my dad still says to this day.
11 kids, that's basically a mini program they were running there.
They should of just set up an LLC, formed a website and thrown their chips in with WWASPS, they wouldn't be going to jail, they'd be getting awards from politicians!
I was held in animal like conditions for a total of 30 days over a period of six months, 'all for my own good'.
But I wouldn't want my parent to go to jail. I would rather my dad have to spent 30 days in the same exact conditions to see what he was paying for. Then I'd let him out after one day, because I am not a monster. I just wish people understood what is happening to kids behind the scenes. Payed for by their closest 'loved ones'. You couldn't make this shit up if you tried.
