How many parents would lose custody over this?
To the judge:
"The only way I could get through to my kid was to keep her from school, force her to sit in a chair and listen to my lecturing for hours on end, telling her what a worthless druggie she is, what a liar and a manipulative con artist she is, force to confess everything she's done in her life and to analyze her motivations behind it, tell her she's not being honest and force her to confess to things she's never done, spit in her face if she defied me, tackle her and forcibly restrain her if she tried to get away, keep her in the same clothing no matter how dirty they got until she would do as I say, throw her food on the floor and make her eat it out of a lack of compliance, I wouldn't allow her to go to the bathroom unless I said it was ok, I wouldn't let her read, have contact with other family members and would threaten her if she told anyone anything negative about me or what I was doing to her, she wasn't permitted to listen to music, use the phone or read her own mail, I would read it and keep it, I had to keep her as exhausted as possible, force her to memorize my new rules and passages from the only material I would allow her to read, she had to say the things I wanted her to say and the way I wanted her to say them, at the end of the day I would make her go in a strangers car and sleep at their house with other kids in a bedroom with the windows barred and the doors locked, while she was being transported she had to cover her face so no one could recognize her, in the morning she would come back and do it all over again, as it became apparent that she would do whatever I expected of her she slowly gained some freedoms like doing chores and eventually going back to school, when I thought she was ready I made her help other parents treat their kids in the same way, she would help by humiliating and degrading them until they would also comply, it took a long time to break her will and get with my program, but she eventually did, I can't believe how much she's changed, I'm so proud of her!"
To the child:
"I LOVE you"
