forced child labor camp

So, I work with kids and New York state law considers forcing a kid to excersize child abuse, as does California.  No, why would it make sense to send you kid to another state for the sake of having other people do what's illegal for you to do at home?

Does anyone know that laws in Montana around corporal punishment?  Is forced child labor allowed?

I've decided that my new reference to MMS is going to be 'forced labor camp'- for kids!

Welcome to MMS, forced child labor camp.  Your kid will leave knowing the basics on how to chop wood and build fences, ski and rock climb.  She will know how to speak and talk of conquences and accountability for your actions, sadly, she may not quite be able to fully embrace such terms once she is gone because what got her there to begin with may have been the type of issue that isn't best addressed in a fear based type of therapy set up and run by a man with a degree in ecology.  

Disclaimer: we are not responsible if this facade falls apart b/c we were unqualified to really deal with depression, anxiety, sexual abuse, parental negelct and other issues.  Any further emotional/mental damaged such as nightmares, anxiety, suicide, withdrawl, isolation, and extreme confusion and disorientation caused by our aggresive 'therapuetic methods', forced labor and isolation is not our responsibility either.

I doubt that any state condones forced child labor, there are just some that chose to ignore it, like Montana. This is the sole reason for so many programs being in such states. A parent in New York, California or any other civilized state would be arrested for child abuse for doing what MMS does on a daily basis. Can you imagine what would happen if a child went to school and told the teacher that their dad made them carry rocks in their back pack, run laps backwards, not speak for months, live in a tent outside by themselves in the snow, called them sluts and laughed at them as they begged to come in just for a minute to get warm? Such behavior would make the evening news, complete with footage of the parent being hauled off to jail and the child being taken away by CPS! MMS and other places like it should not be allowed to exist, plain and simple. Just because all of the girls didn't experience abuse, doesn't make the place acceptable.

Since when is chopping wood abuse?

katfish:
From the training I have had in working with children, any forced labor as punishment is considered abuse.  I can't make a kid go out and chop wood, for instance, any more than I can make them write 100 times what they've done wrong, or make them stand in a corner for having not followed the rules.  What they do in Montana is in fact considered abuse in some states, just not in MT, I guess.  I suppose that's why there are so many school there and not to many here in NY or in CA.
