They also reported that they were made to sit in chairs without speaking while listening to others berate them for hours. . .

The use of the above noted practices with this kind of child could easily result in a precipitation of major mental disturbance. Fortunately this child was able to run from the Seed before very much damage had been done to her psychologically.
