Are they bribing the law enforcement officials, do the law enforcement officials not care, or is there some ridiculous loophole that actually ALLOWS them to keep this place running?

I can't be certain, but I'm fairly sure this place is legal.
No; thankfully it isn't. That means it can be shut down. And it's not too many years away, it seems.

Unless they keep bribing... which they obviously are. Lemme see, 200 kids x $50,000 = $10,000,000.

Shit, that's alot of money to bribe with. But I cannot believe that people are bribed to let such bad things take place. It's horrible.

Never underestimate the ability of people to let their moral and ethical standard slide in the name of fucking money.

We could try informing the parents.

Never underestimate the ability of people to lack ethical standards other than money.

Somehow I doubt that the torture facility disguised as a school is going to make contact information easy to get at.

A few internet users living far away from the place? Very little else than signing a petition or something. If anyone lives near the school, then s/he should call around and tell everyone about the school.

Or sneak onto the property at night and slap some "THIS ISN'T A SCHOOL. THIS IS A TORTURE CAMP" posters on the walls.

...or, yeah, tell the parents. If people would be able to find a list of students at the school, every parent who cares about their children would drag them right out of there. Success!

We (e)mail a human rights group, the government, the FBI, or someone else who can do something about it.

Doesn't work; people are bribed.

Tell the parents; it's not like they can keep the children there without parental approval.

Being unrelated to this place is no excuse to just do nothing. The USA is supposed to be a modern country goddamnit, we shouldn't let this kind of human rights violation happen. We need to go over the school's head somehow, get the media or a humanitarian group involved.

You need to know the kids identity before you can find their parents.
