Youtube showing a more positive side to this CenterIt would be nice if an agency could go in and do and extensive investigation on this place because the reports we are getting are all over the map and contradict each other. We read about the abuses and deaths and then we hear firsthand accounts from patients and parents who tell a very different story. Kids that were once highly medicated are now on no medication and able to work outside the center independently. Many kids opt to had the GED skin shocks and there are independent reviews done by advocacy groups, psychiatrists and there is a court hearing before any child or adult can receive skin shocks.
From these videos there is no doubt in my mind that abuses have occurred and there continues to be exposure to future abuses. But we also see that the center is helping many people which leads me to believe that the therapy itself is not abusive rather it is the lack of control the center has over how the patients are treated.
The average person residing at the center does not receive skin shocks at all and the ones that do receive skin shocks average one shock per week.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
