Look, unless he spent the time there exactly as the kids did, he CANNOT KNOW what it felt like and what the long term ramifications are, fully. Just like the parents CANNOT EVER KNOW fully what they experienced. Are you saying you disagree with that statement?
As I've said many times here before, when I got out of Straight I was singing their praises telling everyone that it saved my life. When people would ask me about abuse, I laughed because I had no idea, YET, the depths of what had been done to me. I didn't consider it abuse. I would parrot the same tired lines that you still hear to this day regarding these 'new and improved' mindrape mills. I needed that tough love!! Afterall, I had gotten myself into this mess, right? My brain needed a little washing, right? It was all for my own good, right? The raps were really designed just to help me 'get in touch with my feelings', right?
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
