Hmmm, wonder what the parent's nutball defense will be. Hope the judge throws the book at 'em and the parents do some time in a cell where getting caught with contraband peanut butter adds another 5 years to their sentence.

I'd have thought that was obvious: they were operating a one-person TBS. It was 'therapy'!

***The charges also state that such neglect could cause severe emotional harm, developmental delay or the impairment of the boy's ability to function. An evaluation of the boy after he was removed from the Grays' custody showed that he suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and oppositional defiant disorder, according to the documents.***
Wonder what the Court would think of some of the goings on in the industry?

how can we get the courts to think about it?these matters tend to boil down to he said she said.
i was asked a similar question today regarding a grandmother who wanted to know how to bring about criminal charges for what happened to her grandson there. for practical purposes, you would start with the police station, calling child abuse hotlines, child protective services (family independence agency, social services, whatever its called there). this is problematic, to say the least. i had trouble getting a copy of the police report, they wrote me a letter saying my request was an undue invasion of privacy. the victim in that report i am sure would like to tell them where they can stick their privacy, as he had none while there.

Ironic, isn't it. Parents who abuse their kids at home can be arrested and made to face the consequences for violating the human rights and civil liberties of their own children. On the other hand, parents who pay somebody else to do essentially the same thing aren't breaking any laws, in fact, they are viewed as GOOD PARENTS for giving their kids a "second chance" at having a future by sending them to a PROGRAM.

What possible defense can these parents use to explain what is clearly a case of depraved indifference? Did they not think chaining their child to a wall would be harmful to their son's physical, emotional and mental health? These people need to be thrown in jail and made to sit chained to a wall with a picture of their child placed in front of them. If the jury goes easy on them, I hope the jurors never have to face the boy and explain to him why they rendered a verdict
sanctioning child abuse as a parental right.
