I had a friend “sent” to something like this.

His dad paid a private company to cosplay as cops, “catch” his son with weed paraphanalia, and then shipped him off in the middle of nowhere to be surrounded by… people with way worse drug problems than him that taught him a bunch of bad shit and how to get a hold of far worse drugs.

Anyway, these facilities are absolutely fucked up, and it doesn’t matter who you are if you get sent to one, you’re going to be living with trauma.

Sorry to all the fucking assholes who decided this story didn’t matter because of three fucking words at the beginning of the article. Grow the fuck up. Plenty of poor ass people end up in these facilities, too. A conservative parent who wants to abuse their child will spend money they don’t even fucking have to do it. My friends’ dad went into debt for this chicanery. Also, just because they’re a shitty rich kid doesn’t mean they deserve it.

Be fucking better, Lemmy.

Some kids have died at camps like this. The link is the story of a 16 year old who died in Arizona in 1994.

He had to hike for miles a day and sleep with no blanket or sleeping bag in temperatures below freezing. He had no food for 11 days out of 20, partly as a punishment for being sick.

He complained about being sick for weeks - stomach pain, falling down, hallucinations. On the day he died, it took him an hour to crawl 20 feet to the fire. He died from an infection from a perforated ulcer. The staff were standing around making fun of him when he collapsed for the last time.

The owners of the camp pleaded guilty to negligent homicide. One of the counselors was convicted of felony neglect.

Earlier this year, a 12 year old suffocated to death at a wilderness camp in North Carolina. His death was found to be a homicide.

Like Paris Hilton,

Will never be the beginning of an article worth reading.

Well, I’ve seen enough. Lol

SteveFromMySpace ,

You should actually read this one

radivojevic ,

I don’t reward clickbait headlines.

An apt comparison to a name that you may know in a contextually appropriate title is hardly “click bait”.

SnotFlickerman ,
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

You like to tell yourself that, but I’m almost 100% sure that’s not actually true.

Nobody is above psychological manipulation, and the people who think they are tend to be… much easier to manipulate psychologically.

radivojevic ,

Click it

SteveFromMySpace ,

It’s not clickbait. Paris Hilton has been actively campaigning against these institutions for years now. The woman was inspired by her story/experience to share her own.

You would know that if you’d actually read it.

this is quite the immature take. akin to judging a book by its cover.

radivojevic ,

Nah, I’ve read that book. The sequel won’t be any better.

SteveFromMySpace ,

No, you didn’t read it. That’s the problem.

radivojevic ,

Paris Hilton

SteveFromMySpace ,

Enjoy being so judgmental of a headline/person that you spend more time talking about how smart and discerning you are than it would have taken to just read what is a very harrowing story about an awful industry that should be burned to the ground all because you saw “Paris Hilton.”

Truly you’re better than the rest of us.

radivojevic ,

You’re too kind, I love you too.

Instead of saying you read the book and acting like a closed-minded dick, you could actually read the article and actually find out what you’re talking about before you open your mouth.

radivojevic ,

Paris Hilton

@ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

So just going with closed minded dick, then.

Harvey656 ,

Closed minded takes like this are simply not productive. Perhaps you could, ahem, Discuss Online instead of acting like a fool trying to troll others into replying.

Or you know, just not comment, that’s always an option.

radivojevic ,

Paris Hilton

AlecSadler ,

Enjoy your shitty echo chamber.

Echo echo echoooo

Oh, it’s my turn.

The fact that places like can exist terrific me. The people that prop up those systems are absolute scum.

That story is horrifying on so many levels. If even half the claims in there are true, all the “adults” involved deserve the slowest, most painful death imaginable.

SteveFromMySpace ,

Oh god I forgot about this

MNByChoice ,

Fucking hell.

A lot of thought and logistics go into those hell holes.

AbidanYre ,

It’s kind of amazing how it all seems to have started with some cult in the 50s.

extremeboredom ,

This is not the brat summer I’ve been hearing about, I assume?
