exactly. not everyone in the 90s sent their kids to a private prison. the ones that did were "special" types of people. To most people abducting and imprisoning abother human being is unethical and evil. But abusive people don't understand that. Abusive people are overwhelmed by a darkness they imagine in their kids anger, control issues, self-centeredness. Theses character flaws drove them to have their kids abducted and imprisoned, not ignorence.
This contradicts your post below.
Stop bringing up “loaded language” and the like. I am not a program. If were going to play now-YOU’RE-the-program game, stop telling me to alter my natural way of speaking to fit the parameters you set, just like a program. And stop being so defensive. I've never said every single person who has their kids abducted and imprisoned is mentally ill, abusive or inadequate, but every one of them particpated in act of violence and abuse, and yes, the VAST majority of those who do so are led astray by their personal corruption, not ignorance.
Not all parents who send their kids to programs are incompetent or corrupt.
Not all are innocent in their motives either.
What I've done is pointed out that not everyone fits in single set stereotype. Claiming all parents who send their kids to programs are abusive and acting on their personal corruption is placing them within that stereotype.
so again in case you missed it:
Not all parents are incompetent boobs who are evil blood sucking villians.
Neither are all parents innocent in their motivations to palm kids off an programs.
I can repeat it for you a few times if it helps.
It doesn't contradict what I am saying. I am saying it’s parents’ abusiveness, mental illness and lack of boundaries that motivate them, not ignorance. Yes, I am making a generality when I say that, and there are exceptions, but this is the rule. The rule applies to parents in the 90s, 80s, 70s, 60s, and 50s as well as to parents today. To have a human being, your own progeny, abducted, often by other teenagers, and dragged away in the night requires intense abusive tendencies. It takes a pathological sense of dominion over another. The willingness to have those abductors hold that human captive, sometimes for years upon years, in some isolated locale takes, at the very least, a criminal and gross negligence and disinterest in the welfare of the child, and in all likelihood, a unstated desire to punish, hurt, control, or get rid of the kid’s burden at any cost to the kid.
Abusive parents don't walk around saying "i abuse my kid." They truly believe their kid is especially bad. Modern psychology unfortunately supplies them a plethora of acronyms to attach to their kid to better justify their abusive, unrealistic sense their kid is bad. They won’t even say that their kid is “bad” because that would reflect poorly on them; they’ll say their kid is troubled. That way, their demonizing, unrealistic, abusive viewpoint about their kid is socially acceptable, as are their abusive ways. Having a kid abducted and imprisoned is an extension the terrorization, cruelty, and disrespect for privacy that goes along with being an abusive parent
Whether or not a parent has actual physical proof the person the pay to imprison their offspring torments them in addition to the torment they approve of is secondary.
I am not saying that the Bacons are bad people; they have remorse, they understand what they did was wrong, but the tendencies that led them to have their kid abducted and imprisoned…because he got beaten up (talk about blaming the victim!) are dark tendencies and should be recognized as such.
