What I WOULD call abusive is the fact that the kids are told over and over that they wear flimsy sandals for the specific, sole, and punitive reason that such footwear is issued just so escape becomes very difficult or nearly impossible. Sort of like wearing shackles or hobbles...is that abusive for a prisoner going to court? No. Is that abusive for teenagers going about their twisted life in the gulag? Yes."

"Plomly 22 - So the programs you were in had similar seminars? That's good! I wasn't aware that other programs had the seminars. Did you're parents have the adult version? "

There's a process in the Focus seminar, in which the people are asked to pretend they're on a sinking ship. They are given popsicle sticks, told that the stick symbolise their lives and shit like that. Then, each one of them is asked to choose 5 people to "throw off the boat". They are asked to go around the circle, yelling in people's faces, "you're DEAD!". Then, the popsicle sticks are taken from the "dead" people."
