I was referred to this post (

by
tashiro_kun and I thought I needed to share it too. I should warn every one that it is extremely disturbing as it has to do with a girl's personal account of her time at a "boot camp" but I feel it's important to get this information out there. The more people that understand what these camps are really like, the better.
These institutions claim to be behavioural modification camps when in reality, they are nothing but cruel places that aim to brainwash children. And for myself, being someone that wants to help anyone with psychological problems or anything else, this just absolutely breaks my heart. It is an outrage that they can cover things up like this. And that parents have no idea what their children are being put through when they have good intentions. I don't even know what else to say... it's just astonishing. So, if you are not faint of heart, please take the time to read her story.
