I was sitting at my computer this morning, when a friend of mine shot me a message over steam containing this link.

Needless to say, I was intrigued, so I clicked on it. I was then horrified. Now, among the trash that is the comment list, there are nuggets of gold that bring credibility to this story. It seems too horrifying to be true, but it is. Needless to say, this facility, based upon the principle of aversion therapy, essentially abuses and brainwashes its students. It's terrible- like something straight out of 1984.

I urge you, spread this about and post evidence reinforcing this school's existence and the torturous environment it encourages, should you find any that is not among the post's comments.

I'd read this, but I don't want to ruin my day.
Maybe in 14 hours, or so, when the day is spent.

You should probably include some more reliable sources in the OP, because as I was reading the link I thought "Okay, this is poorly written bullshit." Not just because of how far-fetched the things being said seem, but just because the way the poster writes it makes me feel like it's a fabrication. I'm still not sure how much of it is true, so I'll probably be back once I get my thoughts sorted.

My BS sense is tingling too.

I'd swear I've seen that post in the past, too. Like, years ago. The 1998 date is suggestive, as well

Actually the School the topic creator is referencing IS real

However it is a very old story (more then 10) to my knowledge and likely was shut down long ago.

[fqllve]

It is real, and still open.

Wiki

Here are a couple of better sources from the wiki article.

BUT!

Does it's methods work?

It happens a lot like this. In Capatalism: A Love Story, I watched until the point that judges were bribed to put kids in private dentention centers for swearing or smoking, sometimes three to four years. Pretty bad.

That was it. Not on a scale as bad, but still, same type of abuse of the legal system.

why for swearing? it makes sense if it was ridicuolous amounts, but just one time seems crazy.

That's an exaggeration, but one of them did do six months for making a Facebook group for making fun of a teacher.  Or longer, I forget exactly how often it happened, but juvenile courts have the authority to unilaterally extend sentences, with the crooked judge's permission, so a lot of them stayed a long time.

Well, both those articles are mostly about stuff that happened in the 70s, so there's no evidence that student boxing rings and such are still going on. But I'm going to take a guess and say sometimes. It really depends on the person whether or not harsh treatment like that is going to work, and it really says something about the place when one of the advocates says it saved her but she still has nightmares about it.

That is disgusting. Suspension of children's sixth amendment rights? Ugh.
