Moist Critical Reacts to The Cult in a Boarding School

[@zobugz]

these places still exist today and are often marketed as boarding schools and wilderness camps, I was really troubled as a teen and my mom looked into these sorts of places because she thought it could help me, but she shortly found that they were abusive and unsafe for the kids, I'm so thankful everytime I'm reminded of these places that she didn't send me to one, and I hope healing and justice to any child who had to go through this

[@reececastle638]

i was just about to say this, that’s still a normal thing with wilderness. they’ll have 2 big men basically kidnap you, handcuff you blindfold you and take you to the camps. it’s scary shit

[@queenb1218]

Absolutely horrible and the testimony of the survivors is heartbreaking. Imagine the alums of a school being known as "survivors." Talk about some generational trauma. And if you think this is bad, look into the Indian boarding schools, the only "schools" with their own graveyards.

i disagree because the industry often is very manipulative convincing parents that this will help their kid. i was sent to one and my parents had the assumption that they where a "therapeutic nature camp" and this is often a last resort for desperate parents. i agree that "gooning" (what we called getting kidnapped in the middle of the night) is horrible and there is no excuse.

[@NUTBIBLE]

I'm not sure if it's the same place. However, I knew a guy in the rehab I went too that was legally kidnapped by some rehab, black bag and everything. Then was taken into the middle of the woods somewhere near the center of the United States. They gave him a military tent (so a tarp and pole basically), a knife, a few days rations, and that's it. His parents wanted him to get sober. So they paid people to torture and starve him for an entire year. Didn't actually help in any way shape or form, but he said that taught his that even his parents couldn't be trusted. So, he ended up out of school at 15, never went back. Worked odd jobs until he could pay for an apartment, and then just kept using because why tf not? With that sort of life I understand the why. Anyway, his parents ended up coming to the rehab we were in together, and he straight up acted like they didn't exist, and they were getting mad at the people working the rehab facility we were in. Major props to the rehab cause they told them off and kicked them off the campus. I wanted to tell the bad part, and the "good" part of the story so sorry it's a long post. Idk if it's the same place, but these places NEVER worked. They just took children from their parents and made them into better criminals.

[@circa-bq8tm]

My cousin went to one of these institutions in Missouri in like 2004-5. Not this one specifically but one like it. They were actually pretty brutal on the kids there and they're also very expensive. Unfortunately, it was a situation where if my cousin wasn't watched literally 24 hours a day, he was stealing, fighting, getting drunk, getting high, breaking things, sneaking out, committing various crimes. My relatives just couldn't cope with it and it was ultimately an act of desperation on their part. I don't think it had a positive impact on him at all. I think all it did was give his parents the peace of mind that he wasn't out somewhere hurting someone or getting himself hurt. I felt awful about it when they fake kidnapped him though. Like I should have stopped it somehow or something even though I wasn't there
