Duct Tape

"Female circumcision is part of the culture in certain African countries, but that doesn't make it right."
a tackle and a punch, or even duct tape is not permanent. circumcision is. i never once saw a person severely or permanently injured. about the saudi school, good point. we were in an american school, but we were on a samoan family's land. if you start talking shit about a samoan guy's mom, in an adolescent attempt at getting a rise out the samoan guy, you can expect to get dropped. in all reality, the samoans were a lot nicer than american cops. take it from a guy who has dealt with both.

The guy who ran Paradise Cove runs MIDWEST ACADEMY now. Same program, just a different wrapper.
And the beat goes on ...

And the scars (both physical and psychological) these kids got from what was done to them by WWASP are also permanent. But it doesn't matter if it's permanent or not. The point is that it's abuse. And abuse is wrong. There is no excuse for that.

Ok, I know some Samoans, and yes, that is how they do things. If their kid (and I stress THEIR kid) gets out of line like that, they're in for some physical repercussions.
But what Samoans do in their personal lives is one thing; I certainly wouldn't duct tape my kid's mouth shut or spray him with bug repellent in any situation, but if a Samoan wants to do that, I'll leave that for whatever non-existent 'DSS' there is in Samoa. How they treat kids who are NOT their children and are their responsibility in a residential treatment is a completely different thing.
When I heard those rumors I felt queasy; now that I've heard them confirmed, I'm outright disgusted. I don't care what your excuse is - a student called your wife a nasty slut or whatever - there is never a time that a kid deserves to be abused like that.
I feel terrible for students that endured a place like this. I definitely agree that the emotional scars of even WITNESSING something like that are pretty permanent.

What's getting lost in the sauce here is that WWASPS trains kids to control other kids, which is abuse, in and of itself.
The hunted becomes the hunter.
