Let stay on focus and forget places like SIBS or Foreland Hamlet as described in the short story Runaways
Who resembles "Dr. Wits" in reality?
Straight has been closed for decades, give it a rest. Lets stay focused on the present.
Bullshit.
CCMgirl is advocating programs without actually finding her hypothetical 'good one' and making blanket, generalized statements in defense of the program mindset.
I know of one parent who is being sued for this as we speak
And then, there are people who can never be manipulated by guilt cause they have no conscious (sic).
This lady's kid was murdered. I thought this was a bad thing? Are we genuinely upset when this happens, or do we just use these tragedies to solidify our self concept?. If we are genuinely saddened, we should extend sympathy towards a victim, who in this case, is a mother, and extend to her kindness, not tough love. Asking for someone not to hurt your half-dead soul isn’t being cultish, it's cultish to not be sensitive to that person’s soul.
Even if someone isn’t systematically tortured, simply being locked away without the opportunity to legally challenge your incarceration is extraordinarily damaging, mentally.
Why someone would think it's "helpful" to violate someone else's human rights, to plunge them into an Orwellian nightmare, to do what is being done to those poor bastards at Gunatanamo(sp?) bay(well, minus the water boarding) is beyond me.
In fact, is not holding someone against their will, without a right to challenge this, in itself not torture?
Has their ever been an institution that held humans in this form of bondage that has not also engaged in further abuse of their detainees? I doubt it. When one is held in a position of powerlessness, exploitation of that powerlessness is inevitable.
Yes, there's alot of care for survivors, unless they have an opinon about their own personal history that doesn't match what the body politic demands.
