This is actually based on a true story, a disciplinary school that turns teens into former shells of themselves, it happened in the 70’s and 80’s and its called elan. People actually died there and the punishments were very harsh
If any facility of any kind told me that I was not allowed to see my child, I would've told them that if they did not let me see my child, I would call the police immediately. This is sick and disgusting that anyone would ever think to do this shit.
@@ghostythe117 yeah no halfway decent parent signs a contract that will prevent them from being able to see their child. If you can't see your kid you have no way to know if theyre safe or if they are being abused. Absolutely not
I recommend u look up residential schools in canada for the sake of mankind. Tom flanagan claims that the horrors that took place in residential schools were nothing short of canadas biggest “hoax”. Keep his name in your mind
@@bongboi2831 regardless of any real life scenarios I would never send my kid somewhere where I could not see for myself theyre ok. Im not gonna look it up cuz frankly I get disturbed easily and if it comes up with anything bad I'll regret it...
@@haileym5912 good choice, as the parents weren’t voluntarily sensing their kids to these schools. The government sent agents to your house for your child. They had guns, and numbers so defending yourself wasnt an option unless you made a militia. Most people have not heard of this because native americans who went through this horrible time didnt want money or land or anything. They just wanted an apology by the churches and the government. It took the pope many years to even acknowledge what happened. The pope, mother theresa, gahndi. All of these people who you look up to where pure evil.
I was sent to a "tough love camp" like this when I was 14, and spent 17 months there. It was in the Utah wilderness, and it was nothing less than a nightmare. Words just don't even do it justice to describe how horrific this place was. I wasn't even a "troubled teen". I was a good student, I was a Boy Scouts who had earned nearly every badge available for me at the time..played sports..wrestling and swim & dive team..i loved hunting, camping, and hiking, and when i wasn't playing sports I could be found in the forest honing my bushcraft and scouting skills. I didn't drink, smoke, use drugs, or party or anything like that. I didn't sneak out, I didn't break the law, and I didn't hang around people who did. My parents were EXTREMELY religious tho. To the point of being fanatical. Everything was about God and the church, and my life and activities I enjoyed all had to come second to that, and revolve around the constant church services and bible studies, and congregation gatherings and functions. I was beginning to express that I didn't like having religious shoved down my throat day in and day, and having everything revolve around our church. It really was mentally exhausting to attend service 4 times a week, and 4 Bible studies a week, and all of the gatherings and fundraisers and potlucks that the congregation were constantly having. I was good kid, and did what I was told, but the very fact that I even dared to express that I was anything other than 100% enthusiastic about being committed to the church and this lifestyle was absolutely unacceptable to my parents. To them, this was a "rejection of Christ", as they said, and it was no different than being a career criminal in their eyes. Infact, it was much worse. As my Dad put it, "A criminal can always find the Lord and be redeemed..but i already know the Lord, and reject Him.." Which wasn't at all true. I didn't mind going to church on Sunday, and maybe a Bible study later in the week, like normal people. I just didn't want to be so overwhelmed by religion all the time. But they saw this as me "going down the wrong path". And sought out a camp that billed itself as a Christian faith-based wilderness program for at-risk youth. They thought that I might even enjoy it because of my love for being in nature and activities in the wilderness. And one night 4 large men came and literally kidnapped me in the middle of the night. I was hog-tied, blindfolded, and gagged, then thrown in the back of a van, and driven 20 hours across the country to a place where I would be literally TORTURED, along with a couple dozen other teenagers, for the next 17 months, until I was able to escape. The course of my life was changed forever. Im 39 now, and I have not been home, or seen either of my parents since the night I was taken from my bed by those abductors. I had successfully escaped the camp, and made my way out of the Wilderness to a town, where I stole a car that was left running and empty in a gas station parking lot. It was 1998, in a very small town, so this kind of thing was not unusual. I drove the stolen car into Arizona. There i had run out of gas, and was hungry and desperate. In the glovebox of the car I had found a small revolver, which I used to rob a gas station for food, money, and gas, out of sheer desperation. I was caught and arrested by police, and charged as an adult for the car theft and armed robbed. I was sentenced to prison for the next 4 years, getting out when I was 20 years old. Prison was a welcome relief when compared to the hell i had just beeen in. Its been 19 years since my release from prison. I have a successful career, and a happy home with my wife and 3 children. They are my world, and I am thankful for every day that I get to be a husband and father. But I'll never forget the horrors of that camp. It will be with me for the rest of my life, I am certain.
Yeah your definitely lieing. When u got arrested robbing that gas station which just so happened to have a revolver in the glove compartment you would of said something about where u just came from
@@joelicari565 i stole the car at one gas station. When the car ran out of gas I was left without wheels. By then I'd been on the move for a couple days without any food. I had no money and I was hungry, scared, and desperate. I searched thru the car looking for money, and thats when I found the pistol in the glove box. I took the gun and left the car walking, and trying to think of what to do. Eventually I decided to rob a gas station for money and food. Im not exactly a "criminal minded" person now, and I certainly wasn't as a teenager. And I got caught pretty quickly. But I absolutely told police everything about where I had came from, and the things that happened there. But that didn't excuse me from stealing a car, illegal possessing a pistol that had been stolen with the car, and then brandishing it while robbing a gas station. There were plenty of sympathetic ears, but i still committed some serious crimes. Since I was charged as an adult, I was facing adult time. I actually got a break on my sentence, because of my circumstances. I could have easily been given ALOT more time.
i went to an abusive "therapeutic boarding school for teens" and it was fucking horrific. huge percentage of my fellow graduates have since committed suicide.
I too went to a abuse correction centre, finishing oneself was the most honorable thing to do I used to think. How I was looked when I came out free .... Was even more scary, i couldn't sleep,i couldn't eat, i deemed myself unfit for any relationship but I gave up drugs. My life is empty wish overdose had killed me . I hate this sympathy, i am 37 the smile which everyone around me gives makes me cry and yes ofcourse I am on antidepressants. Please don't do drugs.
When I found out that there are places like this for troubled teens where they are kidnapped and abused, it makes my blood boil. Why do parents thinks it's the solution??? I'm being misunderstood here, I know the parents are not aware of the abuse, my argument is that parents shouldn't give their teenagers to brutal outside parties to correct their behavior that's all I'm saying and yes I know parenthood is very difficult because I was a troublesome teenager myself.
because they by that time are at their wits end and are sold these places as the solution. They aren't told their children are going to be abused - they are told they are going to be helped and everyone will live happily ever after. If the teen ends up troubled enough to end up in one of these places it is safe to assume the parent was already not doing a very good job of making parental decisions
Stress and breakdowns really. Even tho troubled kids and teens need specialized help in some cases they do become self absorbed in self pity and become a toxic personality to people around them. This can reflect in bullies or troubled nightmare teens like in this movie. Eventually people slowly break down and become desperate leading to bad things for both parts.
The problem is that there is no license to be a parent, which means that extremely incompetent people or people who end up being unable to raise a child, still have to raise a child and struggle🤷🏼♂️
places like this exist only because you can make money off of it... its all about money... They will lie to parents, force children to tell them how much it helped them, tell them its the only way... I wish only hell for those people..
This isn't a horror film, this isn't fiction, this is legitimately what happens. Even to this day, children die every year from abuse in these reform facilities. No one is doing anything about this, it's honestly fucking sickening how unprotected minors really are.
Children and teens can't vote so society have no need to care for them. (That is not to say other systems of power are better for kids) Yes, I know that giving them voting powers is irresponsible but this also means they are powerless in society, a segment of the population without a voice. A price that must be paid.
@@PitLord777 they get to grow up, reach age of vote, and forget about their struggles as kids, now that they are too busy with their struggles as adults...
This one really resonated with me because I had been through something similar to this one. I was sent to a place like this before, it was an all boys place and the teachers treated us like animals. On the first day I had my belongings taken from me, all of what I had on were shorts and a shirt. I was then told to lay down on my stomach on the hot concrete floor and had my feet tied to my hands. They poured water on me and I was whooped with a wire on my feet and hands. The owner of the place was asking me questions while I was getting whooped, once I answered his questions he told the teacher to whoop me harder. I begged him to stop but he said this is what you deserve. They left me there in the hot sun for at least an hour and then they gave me a clean white shirt and pants and they chained my feet together so I won’t be able to walk freely I was there for 3 months and one week. I finally had the chance to call my parents after one month of being there but the owner told me that I better choose my words wisely. I had to lie to my parents and tell them that everything was fine and that the place is helping me become a better person which was a lie. I made a friend there and gave him my family contact info and told him to call them for me and tell them what is really going on if here ever gets out before me and he did. After being there for 2 months and 3 weeks my friends parent came and took him out of the place because he got tetanus. A week later a bug bit my eye and the right side of my face was swollen. It got so bad that I couldn’t see from my right eye and I was in extreme pain. They gave me pain killers and antibiotics but the swelling never stopped. It gotten so bad to a point that I had to tell my parents what happened. The owner found out and gotten so mad at me that he said that this doesn’t change your stay here, your parents are all the way in America and you are here with me so man up and deal with this like a man. I knew that he would call my parents and tell them that I lied to get out of the place, but my mom asked the owner to FaceTime me and see my face as proof that I was okay. Once my mom saw how messed up I looked she said that your aunt will come and pick you up so pack up your clothes and prepare to leave tomorrow morning. I couldn’t believe what my mom just said to me it didn’t feel real. The owner later on talked to her and said that he will take me to the local hospital himself and it will be cheaper for him to take me because he knew someone that worked there. My mom said okay as long as I was getting good treatment. The owner let me off the hook for a week and then he found out that my mother was planning to bring me out of there because she found out what was really going on in there. The owner explained to her that it was a fake rumor and none of that was true. My mom told my aunt to visit me and for her to call my mom once she spoke with me. My mom asked me a bunch of yes and no questions because she found out about how the owner would sit by everyone who had a phone call with their parents and made sure nothing of what was going on here would be told to their parents. After my phone call with my parents I was later released from the place. The last words the owner said to me was to forgive and forget. I said there is a special place in hell for people like him and have him the middle finger but he didn’t understand what it meant. There is a lot I hadn’t mentioned like teachers rapping young boys and the students who were caught trying to escape were beaten and left laying on the stomach and the hands tied to the feet all throughout the night. I thank god for taking me out of such an evil place. I was one of the lucky ones. There were some people that were there for a year or more.
Im so sorry what happened to you🥺 What is happening there is torture is there no way to complain to the Police or human rights watch? It has to stop especially if they rapping people.
I feel so bad for you, I hope you are healing and recovering from those shitty traumas and memory that hell gave you. And I also hope that institution or whatever it is just shuts down and everybody who is involved in it goes to jail for decades.
@@kikiwi7073 then give them slap or something if you so wish to abuse a child but dont put them somewheere wher some dont make it out alive???thats bad judgement. dont ever have children for their and everyone elses sakes please I beg
It’s based on a true story. Even Dr. Phil sends his trouble teens to the ranch. Which is one of the similar facilities to this. It’s still happening today and it’s one of the worst decisions a parent can make.
his not like this thor some do help kids his has if u watch the show i watch one eip show whne he bring one back after 10 years later she said thaank dr phill u help me n show me that i wasnt doing thing rigth n what can happen if i dont chage the way i act
My wife too ran away and filed a divorce because she wanted to enjoy life. Thank God, I do not have any kids, but still it pains a lot. Thank You for this beautiful Recap
I didn’t see this movie but I teared up watching this summary. I’m an addict in recovery (now 6 years, I’m 28 now), but it made me think about my parents and how they tried from a place of love to help me growing up. I can’t imagine the damage places like this movie is based on do (they are real). The father just trying to save his son hits hard. Being gay, depressed, and socially anxious kind of led me to drugs and behaviors that go hand in hand with them. Being a parent is hard. There’s no rule book, no guide, every child is unique. It breaks my heart that this story is representative of so many parents of troubled kids.
There are tons of books about how to be a good parent, there is no excuse for hiring a company to kidnap your children, what is wrong with you to even consider any of this as normal
But there are books for parents on raising kids....since 1955 when Dr. Spick wrote his book on caring for young children through books on preschool years, school age and adolescence....there are books. And nowadays, there are websites, TH-cam and other social media available. The truck is as a parent, deciding on how you want to prepare your kid for life is something to think about...even if it starts as a list of what you don't want your child to be.
The US is full of these types of places, but usually it’s not even disguised as a school they take the kids out into the wilderness for months on end it’s terrible, one of my friends was sent to one, he was never really the same after
I spent 2 years in a place like this during my 16th and 17th years. It was the cause of my panic attacks that continue to this day. We were locked in confined spaces, refused meals,our mail was monitored. I ended up running away twice. I ended up having to file for emancipation just to get my freedom. Unfortunately the place is still open.
@@killer0911 Tennessee Preparatory School. It was advertised as a place for kids with mild behavior issues such as truancy and just acting out. One of my best friends from there actually asked to be sent there because her home life was so difficult. After being there for a few months her room mother found a small bin liner that she had thrown up in( she had bulimia) We were made to sit in a circle with the girl in the middle having to watch her take a few bites of her own vomit. We were all in tears, horrified for her. And that's just one memory. It's also run by the government. Punishment is one thing but torture is a whole different situation.
The parent approved kidnapping thing is completely real life. It happens all the time, but kids in the therapy world call it "gooning" or "getting gooned." I've experienced it twice; they just come up in your room around 2am and put you in handcuffs and shackles and drive you to the airport.
What happens if the ‘Troubled Teen’ is a Muscle Head who is a pro at Boxing/Muay Thai and managed to fight off the Kidnappers while calling the police? Also, what happens if you scream for help while at the Airport?
@@therealmr.incredible3179 if you scream for help at the airport you will not get far. Police will verify your paperwork and contact your parents and the matter will be sorted quickly. If u run at the airport you will be found. Knew 3 kids who attempted that. And I mean I would say good luck with your muay thai and allat. I wresled my entire life and the size of the dudes they sent made my fighting experience inconsequential.
@@lemur7493 If the police knows that you were kidnapped by basically your parents they wont take action?!? Wtf were do you live? Where i live, you would be immediatly put into CPS Edit: And the parents and everyone involved would go to jail lol.
@@Helena-me6mp So here's the thing. In the US, until you are 17 or 18 in most states you do not have the full rights of an american citizen. It is perfectly legal for this to happen, it is a service they paid for.
This also exists in the US. Look up the "Troubled Teen" industry where parents send their children to some camp somewhere to be literal slaves just because they can't accept their parental responsibilities. It is basically legalized kidnapping.
I've seen so many past victims make tiktoks about the situation and its insane that shit like that is legal, their parents even sign over guardian rights, its so traumatising to hear all their experiences
Sounds like the kids need to grow up better then. Everyone has a moral choice. So do the kids. Behave badly, get punished. This is the law of the world.
Parental responsibilities are displayed in the movie. Obviously there's deeper mental health concerns or something where a therapist would be better suited to deal with the kid. But, in the movie the dad is thinking he's literally doing everything he can, and the kid is shitting on all his attempts. It's more of a lapse of judgement due to frustration.
I think this would have been better if someone exposed the school for what really is a torture 🤔 I cannot believe someone didn't kick the chitt out of Oscar
The unfortunate thing is, these places really exist and the facility remaining open with no consequences is how the story really ended. I'm genuinely not sure how they actually avoid legal ramifications for literally torturing children, but these places typically only shut down when they start running out of money, usually after word gets out about how they treat the victims, and not because they're forced to.
@@bioforce5 usually they pay off authorities and also in their country, it has the most corrupt people in charge so A LOT of bad things like this place are allowed to legally run by illegal means. Other places in America cover it up as a nice happy camp or school or group homes for kids when it is just a bad place in general. the only way for them to get in trouble is if someone cared enough for the kids and shed light and exposed what the place really is being used for.
My step father had been to something similar. Boys ranch for kids that aren't wanted. It messed him up. He thought that style of parenting was the right way, so he was hard on my brother and I. These places effect not just the children but their future children too. We have since re-connected, I was bitter for a long time for the way we where treated. But when i became his age, I understood, he was just doing what he knew. I dont have kids, afraid to.
The fact you are telling this here in the way you do makes me believe you wouldn't commit the same mistakes. It may come naturally from time to time as a reflex, but you would realize quick and rectify. Don't be hard on you, you are not your father.
Yeah, kinda same. I was never in such a place, because, thankfully, they're illegal where I live, but my so-called "mother" did her very best to emulate the experience and I think she pretty much nailed it. One of the reasons why I'd never want to have kids is exactly as you said, I'm kinda afraid that I'd probably treat them in a similar way.
If you research into troubled teen homes which abused kids you will find a lot like these located in Western countries but i think most have shut down in the past 10 years
I went to a a school like that 28 months got there wen I jus turned 15 counting down the days till I wud be 17 n cud leave the family foundation school they got shut down fukn horrible place there was actually a lawsuit filed against them
But there isn't any kind of those school in Africa or in Asia, the worse schools you could be send to are religious schools were there is not anything else but just religious stuff everywhere.
This is actually a good movie, the story isnt some blood and shitty kinda ones the hardships the son he had to go through, and realisations both father & son had, and am glad eventually they both communicate listened to each other and make their bond stronger, pure souLs. Reality could be much worse than shown here.
Yeah I really think those people don't deserve to be called parents. They forfeited that title when they decided to be cruel and sadistic towards their children.
It's pretty disgusting cause in and outside of the US there are places like this in real life. They pose as these "troubled teen support" places or "behavioral correction center" like the ranch for example off dr.phill. Or the story this movie is based off. The treatment of actual minors, children is deplorable. They literally starve them, dehydrate them, exhaust them with unruly labor and exercise, take away any form of decent hygiene care (especially if your a teen aged girl on her period), avoid medical care or doctor trips at all cost. Kids have died, staff have died from the kids trying desperately to escape! Like parents are sending their children into essentially concentration camps and if they do get their kid back they are usually shells of themselves and suffer extreme PTSD or kill themselves, or end up worse! Any parent told they can't see or talk to their kid should send up an immediate "Something's happening to my kid they don't want me to know about." red flags. Yet so many parents TRUST these slimy organizations and send out another generation of traumatized adults who have no idea how to handle legit situations with any real emotional, or mental regulation.
@@slasherlily9212 he died of cancer. He was admitted and got covid while at the hospital. I didn't even got to see his face one more time since dead patients that got the virus is required to be buried asap. I got his body from the hospital already wrapped then swiftly moved to the casket. For me, the sad part is he passed away alone with no one near from him. I think of it every time and imagine how lonely it was to die alone.
Never went to a facility. Never was a child who broke a ton of rules. But I was abused by my caregivers. Just want to say to all survivors out there: You matter. You are resilient. You are loved.
Many comments have talked about this already, so I won't go into much detail, but these kinds of "schools" or correctional centers exist in real life. They used to be very popular during the 60s and 70s, tho most of them have stopped existing now. The part where you get kidnapped by 2 total strangers as a part of the enlistment process was also accurate.
I got sent to a reformatory school very similar to this. Very painfull memories. Shit like this does way more harm than good. Great way to make your kids never trust you or any other authority again.
My mom is a single mother.. What i can tell is when parents having some problem, they can actually share those things with their children which can trigger sympathy and empathy.. Learn that everyone is struggle and need support especially from family members.. When my mom do that to my sister, my sister tell me how my mom actually feeling and thats how I learn to do the same.. I talked to her and tell her about my things as well which kinda help me to avoid revealing my invulnerability to friends or boys.. At the end, the communication is all we need.. No matter to who we trying to connect..

You don't have to live this way. Dying from the inside out seems like it really sucks. Drugs didn't spend huge sums of money to break your soul; your lazy and complacent parents did because helping you properly was too hard. Why live with this misery? Why should your abusers continue to break you, break your will, and steal your joy? These questions are worth answering, and you did NOTHING as a child to earn a lifetime of misery and victimhood, unless of course that's what you want. The choice is yours.
@@MomMom4Cubs ofcourse my friend . I did a very evil thing to take up drugs. Not a single day has passed in last 11 years when I had not tried my best, to change everything. Everywhere I go people have a sympathy,they want to help me. But they consider me as mentally weak person . I want to get scolded, i want an EQUAL treatment even if it adversely affects me . I don't want a special treatment . I even asked a NGO to take me to people and sight my example so they don't fall for drugs. But I was offered monetary help instead.isnt that strange by God's grace I have a lot at my disposal. My example should be the one how not to waste ones life. Wishing you good health and blessings.
@@islixxn While I replied to that person, my message wasn't to them. A mole could see how obviously correct your point is, and I feel that such waste of my time is akin to pearls before swine. Some people don't spread love; it's blood they're spreading. They're always on the brink of exsanguination from being a perpetual victim. I appreciate your input! Thank you!
Similar thing happened to me. Stuff like this is real... Also the part with gifts given and not allowed to take happened too. We were forced to run into freezing water every morning at 4 am. We're not allowed to speak unless spoken to by a "team master". My parents mailed gifts I never was able to keep such as a blanket to keep warm and a water bottle. And just like this movie we could see it but not keep it. I wonder if the creator of this movie and me went to the same place
@@gammatheprotobean1541 I have aspergers, add, adhd. And I used to have a bad reaction to my meds I used to be on that would make me extremely irritable. I also used to not listen to authority at all. So they genuinely thought this camp would help me. Look it up. It was called camp Buckskin just outside of Ely Minnesota USA. The good news. I have adapted to use my "disability" to my advantage for the career I am in. I have gotten past the stuff that occurred and have worked through many of my issues. I have been off my meds since 2015 and have never been happier in my life. Me and my parents have a stronger relationship than ever now after I decided to graduate from High School early and moved out on my own. Went and traveled the country by being a OTR truck driver, now am lead data analyst and run the floor of a warehouse out in Chicago. Just bought a scat pack challenger and also run my own vinyl business and a car club on the side doing charity events and hosting car meets out in the suburbs quite often now. I definitely would not say it was easy. I'm still working through stuff daily. But I'm making it work. And the best thing of all. I am happy.
@@Pendaemonium aye I greatly appreciate the kind words I'm doing incredibly better and if you want to read what changed I wrote a reply under the other person's comment.
I was in one of these! Back when I went in the late 90's they were called "Youth Work Camps", but really it's somewhat similar to what this is. It's extreme abuse to the highest degree with a bit of slave labor in the mix (We did basic construction work, Road cleaning, ect. while not at base). Some are good some are terrifying, all it takes is a few counselors to be the difference. And there's nothing you can do about it. It's the most horrific thing you can do to a child
@@JustinAdamson270 I was 14 when i went, emancipation is not possible until you're 16. And when you're a kid you have both limited knowledge of the law, and fear of what might happen if you tried to leave (i had an abusive father in my case). It's very easy from the outside looking in as a rational adult to come to a conclusion that seems easy enough to just do. But when you're just a kid and have a mental disorder, its very hard to do. Also, when you do have a mental disorder, it's very hard to claim emancipation even after you turn 16, because the court can determine you're not mentally stable enough to take care of yourself. And if you were sent to a work camp, the odds are heavily stacked against you
@@sippycupsamurai669 mental disorder lol if you had a mental disorder the court wouldn't allow it to happen because you need proper supervision which in facilities with that many people is impossible as they'd also have to be qualified for mental disorder care
I was ready to switch this off a few times. I'm glad I left it on and only fast forwarded it in a few heavy places. It was worth it to see when Luis finally snapped a bit and explained about his own struggles as a single father without a Manual for Dummies, Single Fathers 1.0. , and his own desperate love for Fran which he couldn't turn off. The actor's facial and body language was excruciating at last, as the recap took over and explained so perfectly how Luis had gotten to this point, and how sorry he was. He really apologised. Apologies are near impossible for some people, even when they're apologising. Luis knew he was just handing his desperately troubled son a list of excuses for how he came to making such a terrible, damaging mistake as Simka. But he needed his son back, and he wanted his boy to make it, and he knew he nearly destroyed him in the process. Luis was never anything but a good, strong, compassionate man inside a child still angry inside the feelings of rejection left by his mother literally leaving him to escape responsibility, in order to pursue pleasure. Both father and son had feelings bouncing off each other. And nothing was going to heal until one person began talking. Really great recap as always.
@@JeSuisAsra I think the moral was different I think it's supposed to say that Father realized what bad decision he made and how he fuck'ed up his son for the rest of his life, opened up to his son where he didn't before, Son realized that he never tried to listen to his dad and never realized how much stress he put his dad through, they talked about their feelings and both realized their mistakes and started listening to each other, started working out their relationship but it took drastic measures for both of them to realize that the only thing they needed is listening to each other.
My brother went to a reform school like this in Louisiana and he refused to tell us what happened during his stay. I still worry about him and he has since been addicted to drugs and has left our family due to the trauma. I just wish we could know what all happened.
Same thing with soldiers who refuse to recount their time during war. Same thing with rape victims who stay silent. PTSD. I am sorry about your brother.
Honestly one of the best endings I've seen from a movie like this. I still pray for a family that doesn't make me go insane. One day, my family will make me go insane, I will snap, and they will never hear of me again. "Everyone makes mistakes". Don't they know that? It's like they're trying to turn me into the perfect person, I can't get sad, I can't get angry, I can't laugh, I can't cry. I can't even show any sign of the incredibly huge mountain of stress that's about to kill me. They keep accusing me of behavioral problems, and they start calling me "stupid" "rude" and stuff like that, they keep telling me to control myself, how am I gonna control myself if I don't even have proper control over my life. Everything is already so overwhelming and stressful, even my mom knows what I'm going through. But the only thing she ever does about it is talk about it so badly, doesn't even try to help me. And everytime I accidentally slam the door, get a little angry, or even just breathe deep, my dad starts yelling at me because he thinks I'm being rude. I just want to tell them about all the stress I'm going through, but I don't even know where to start, or if I should talk to them about it at all. They'd probably just tell me how some other people have it hard. Or even just brush it off...
Wow, I was really invested in this. I’m glad it ended the way it did. My own childhood was traumatic. I raised my son as a single mom and he went through some rebellion as a teen. But then at 17 he got cancer. He died at 21. I have no real family. I’m glad this movie ended as it did.
@@nope7269 no film. People have told me I should write a book. But, it’s too exhausting to relive so many details. Anyway, many people have endured so much more trauma and loss than I have.
This is what happens in real life. The troubled teen Industry where Parents are falsely lured by these places into thinking it can change the child. then they accept, and then on some sort of night, some peopel show up and kidnap the child to take them to this harsh place, where the child is tortured and mistreated.
I was really hoping the inmates would organize and overwhelm the guards. It'd be pretty based and satisfying to see them free themselves and beat the guards to death
@@alienmorality never said they weren't did you not read my comment said this one was fake because if your given the chance to kill someone who tortured you you'd take it in a heartbeat
@@JustinAdamson270 you literally said this doesnt happen in real life, it does! These are children being abused, them not organizing a prison riot is plenty realistic
I think it's appropriate for every family. To have a conversation leaving all of your frustrations and grievances on the table. Sure the conversation is going to be emotional and heavy. However after there is healing and your bonds get stronger.
i'd add, not even only with your family. With friends, your couple, etc. too! In the last few years I found out the only way to be able to feel and be really happy (as in not depressed, sad, angry, etc.) is to open oneself to others (the people that matters to you), with full commitment. Sincerity and emotions are so looked down on by the system and culture we live by, people trie to hide feelings and thoughts alike and that creates a lot of mental turmoil, which also leads to worse relationships with others.
@@edd2184 Exactly. Being able to let the guards down is actually very difficult the way we are taught. I had to teach myself to do that, and took years.
@@drantil I learned one thing that life is a constant reinvention and betterment of oneself. You never beat yourself up or be your harshest critic. However always look at ways to improve yourself and be a better person.
Facilities like this exist and one case about puck, a actor from glee was also sent to a facility like this. Before, he was very outgoing, good and when he came back, he changed drastically. Years later on, he was caught with cp, and was arrested but killed himself. We could find later on, that the facility he went to, there was also a administrator, who was caught with CP. Makes me wonder, if puck parents had not sent him to this facility, and if he wasn’t sexually assaulted by this possible administrator, would he had been different? Since most victims tends to be the abuser.
Does anyone else think it's creepy for them to say "watch out and take care"? Is it like, watch out for spoilers and take care for spoilers? Or is it a threat? Or are they saying goodbye at the beginning of the video?
I think they mean watch out for the spoilers and take care because most everyone dislikes spoilers if they're gonna watch/read something on their own, but I'd be lying if that phrase didn't feel _slightly_ darker than that. 😅
It’s watch out for spoilers and take care literally just take care like “be well” or for people who leave bc they don’t want spoilers in which case it would be like “see ya” .. I think you’re just looking way too into it bc of the voice which makes things sound eerie for no reason💀
Stuff like this freaks me out. As I'm a new father, I couldn't imagine sending my son to a "correction" facility. It's so fucked up to think that's how some parents think things will be fixed.
@black serpent you don't choose your family. I'm sorry you went through that. But good on you for surviving and proving your stronger than them. Those evil people deserve the worst of the worst.
It reminds me of the atrocities that happened at residential schools only difference being that it was legit cultural and murder genocide on top of everything else shown in this movie. My friends dad who's a survivor of one told me some pretty horrible things that happened to him and what he saw happen to other kids that I would never wish on my worst enemy.
@@frauleinhohenzollern schools like the Carlisle Indian Indian School which focused on trying to forcibly convert Native American children into American (& Canadian) society
@@frauleinhohenzollern They're talking about the residential schools here in Canada. It was a method of cultural and literal genocide against indigenous people. Mass graves have been found full of unknown children. It's been a major scandal here.
@@berserkagain7976 Are you serious? He was tormented and beaten it doesn’t matter if it worked it a way. He would have to live with something like that for rest of his life. It’s disgusting that you think it is funny when real people have gone through this.
@@berserkagain7976 yeah only bc his father is a lazy ass and didnt raise his son properly if you cant control your child you shouldnt have one,yk what could have happened the boy to come worse,several psychopaths and killers hare one thing in common ABUSE the boy could have come home a monster,i never understood why ppl can be in between its always too soft or too hard
Kinda strange, y’know, seeing some dude with a check mark watching this video/movie, and commenting “the ending was very wholesome and shows that it is never too late to fix a broken relationship,” AND getting a bunch of likes on it. Yeah man, that’d be the case if both sides were still the same people as the ones from the start of the movie. They just weren’t. The father essentially killed his own son because he never had the balls to actually try and do this whole parenting thing properly. No, he instead sent his only child to that hell hole, taking away any possibility of him having a normal life forever. No, buddy, that’s not wholesome. That’s the definition of true evil. It was HIS responsibility to research the institute before sending his own flesh and blood in there, yet he even failed at that. Yikes.
i went to a bootcamp which was similar to this and it is horrific and inhumane. that shit should be illegal. i was sent there because of my fuckin deppresion and i left with ptsd, drug addiction and severe anxiety. i wouldnt wish ANYONE to go to these types of camps. Parents who send there kids to these types of camps deserve to rot in hell and lose their rights to having children.
Some of these camps make signing up, making it through Basic, and being assigned to Fort Polk seem like Heaven by comparison... At least the Military PAYS and it'd be my own choice to be there.
my dad wants to send me to places like these because I argue with him about unfair rules like, he think I need to be disciplined. I honestly hate that my dad thinks i'm a bad kid when I don't even do anything bad except not interact with other people(i'm confused how that's bad), I never get into fights I guess I do embarrass him sometimes but it's because he forces me to interact and I get extreme fear. All of this just because I argue against unfairness. Although I may be wrong I never think of myself as always correct infact it's 50/50, and i think he's very simple minded he thinks there is is only one way things should work. He also hates video games(I mean he says he hates them because they're not productive he has a point but there fun), by productive I mea no money or experience of getting a job is earned according to him. But I have to accept he's not as bad as media portrays parents hating video games.
Im sorry to hear that. I think this is a social anxiety problem which can be treated through therapy abs psychiatry. It seems like your father is not someone you can communicate with because he doesn’t seem to understand social anxiety and being an introvert. As someone who is an introvert and a little anxious when talking to people, I received those messages and sometimes lectures all the time. Overall, see a therapist and/ or psychiatrist to provide you coping skills for social anxiety. There’s nothing wrong with being introverted because your loved ones should except who you are. Just remember that everyone in the world is loved regardless of who they are. Therefore, you are important and loved.
@@aries6554 Well Now I'm no longer anxious unless I'm meeting new people or old people who I had left on a bad note with. I still handle it better than before due to being forced into a offline school situation. I don't know if that's the best way to lose social anxiety, but that's how I've lost it. I still prefer staying with my pc and playing on it, but I don't fear interacting that much anymore. About my dad he eventually started talking less about it(still talks about it, just like it went from every day to every week/month). This is probably because I increased my studies for exams. I also have tried to avoid him every chance I get. They also tried to send me to therapy for "Behavioral problems", and give me anxiety pills. Well that did nothing. Anyways I guess you can get rid of a fear by pushing yourself into it.
There was the Dozier School for Boys, also known as the White House (the kids were known as The White House Boys), in Florida that had some of the most brutal rapes, tortures, and deaths ever recorded in US history at reform schools. The documentaries of first hand accounts are disgustingly horrifying to hear and see. How people could actually conceive of such vile ways to torture kids escapes my thought process. The actions against those boys gives the inquisition a run for it’s money. Don’t get me wrong…there were (and still are in my opinion) other schools that also tortured the kids, but I had a hard time watching the Dozier accounts.
It all starts at home there is a happy medium to things. you cant be too leanat on your kids, but you cant be too strict on them either. My parents told me growing up.. get serious when you need to be, and have fun when you don't. That's what keeps your sanity, and that's exactly what I do. When I need to get things done i stay focused and get what I have to do done. When I'm done doing what I needed to do, I go out and have fun and enjoy myself.
This was so intense. I actually teared at the ending of this lol it was really touching. I've seen another similar movie or show about this too. I wonder how many places like this were out there.
@@andrewschultz7139 it's called "Lockup" I think. The main protagonist guy is the actor Marcel Borras. I actually tried looking for the scene in the end when t GB e father and son are making up and crying, but I couldn't find a clip of it anywhere. Lol
@black serpent damn brother, I'm so sorry to hear that! Thats tough and I can't even fathom that being for anybody. I think I saw a documentary about a similar place, but it was in the US. And then there's another place I saw that was in New Zealand. I think the new Zealand one was an episode from Vice, the Channel on TH-cam, interesting topics and videos. But the other one in the US, I can't think of the name of the place or the film. I'm thinking it was a documentary, and not a movie or something based on real life. I wish I could find out for you. If I remember, I'll be sure to write back. I'm glad you're outta that shit hole place. Hope everything is getting on now for you 🫶
@black serpent people on here can be shit, and for the most time, without reason(s) 🤷 don't care about those words brother. Some people loose grip of reality sometimes I feel, and forget that there are people attached to the comments or names online. Honestly though, it can only get better right?🤞🕉️☮️🙏
This also reminds me of parents sending their rebellious children to get lobotomized, so that they become more "behaved". Like wth, 4 year old are supposed to be rebellious.
I actually worked in a place like this. But it was for self injurious autistic students. Electric shocks were used to correct behaviours. I eventually left..
You are talking about rotten berg right, it’s fucking horrible that it is still allowed to continue existing because of stupid politicians protecting it, do whatever you can to help fight against the center so we can rid the world of rottenberg!
was it called judge rotenberg center? if so then i know ALL about that place it needs to be shut down IMMEDIATELY!!! i hate judge rotenberg center so much grrrrr THEY'RE EVILLL!!!! i also have autism and have been following the news of judge rotenberg center of youtube NOT FOLLOWING JUDGE ROTENBERG CENTER but the NEWS!!! as in have they shut down yet? WHICH I HOPE THEY DO/ARE!!!!! ty for leaving they deserve to be gone just like every EVIL program!!!
@@alyssarasmussen1723 I respect you so much, my sister has autism and I found out about rottenberg when researching about the actual terrible truth behind autism speaks, I hate any place that hurts or takes advantage of people with autism, and I respect you man, you seem awesome
I'm Asian and live at Malaysia. I never seen anywhere a school or organization that curing teen behavior. I watched this video that I will say sometimes punishment don't be too hard on someone that have bad behavior especially teen. I knew some leader in 'curing' bad behavior of teenagers going insanely torturing teens like they don't have life. We should do some petition to not giving our teens an abusing way to fix their behavior. They are not soldiers and they not some though man and woman to stand weird and ugly punishment.
I am Asian as well. I believe the reason these kinds of places don't exist here is the difference in parenting and culture. Like the idea of slapping or punching your parent is just inconceivable. On my side of Asia we are taught to value family. And most Asian parents wouldn't put up with terrible behavior, some even go extreme. I can remember my mother's hour long lectures about my terrible behavior. At one point I was forbidden from using the computer. As for an example of the extreme, my friend once told me about her dad. Her dad's father once beat him up to the point of unconsciousness. With tiger moms/dads, we don't really need places like that.
This reminds me of “Turnabout Ranch” and other places like that. Paris Hilton has spoken out about facilities like this abusing children. My brother was almost killed at a facility sponsored by the county sheriff that was a “therapy program”. If you send your child to boarding school as a punishment, 9/10 times it will be operated like a prison as well. If it’s not a prestigious and expensive school that only accepts the best kids then this is what it’s going tonne like. Stop shuffling your kids off to other people to deal with.
If I was the one to go through all of this torture and punishment, I would've remembered each and every person's face and name and find them after I get released and would've destroyed them up.
@@matcharo nah it happens here. just in nothing states like Wyoming, Montana, Utah, etc. i was sent to one of these kinds of programs in Mexico back in 2017 you dont even wanna know what happened there trust me.
This is how I felt when I was sent to the psych ward. A place that’s supposed to “help” you ended up being something that I still occasionally have flashbacks about. For background as to why I was sent there: There was one night when I got cross faded so bad that I straight up lost my mind. I attempted suicide 3 times that night, committed self harm multiple times, was blubbering nonsense, and was just not myself. I don’t remember a single thing about that night, I had to be told what happened. My parents were genuinely terrified and decided to trick me into going there. I was told I was going to be sent there for a “blood test” that ended up being a decoy for me to admit myself into the psych ward. As a result of learning this, I immediately attempted suicide in the room they brought me in to fully administer me in by trying to hang myself with bedsheets. I was so erratic that it took 4 security officers to restrain me, and I was strapped to my stretcher and threatened to be sedated with I don’t even know what. I was there for a week and a half, but it felt like forever. Staff there legitimately did not know what they were doing, nor did they want to be there. I was very very lucky to have a room to myself, otherwise I would have to be roommates with other patients that were as equal to if not worse than me in my mental state. I never went outside the entire time I was there nor did I ever see the sun. Only the same damn hospital lights. I was under 24/7 supervision, meaning they watched me like a hawk every day for 3 days. Every. Fucking. Day. I didn’t even shower or use the bathroom because I didn’t want someone to be watching me do that during those 3 days. They also always watched me while I slept. Imagine having someone watch you sleep the entire fucking night, with a bright hospital light shining into your face because they kept the door open the whole damn night too. They forced me to wake up at either 6 or 6:30 in the morning to take my vitals every day. There were people who were physically crippled there and when they called out for help or for basic needs, they were ignored. That was only the day. At night, I got used to hearing peoples screams from their rooms during the middle of the night. You’d have people screaming for help or about how they were going to kill themselves in extremely detailed ways. I never got any actual therapy, and the doctors “checkups” were just excuses to persuade me to take meds I didn’t even need nor ever heard of before. When I got out, I wasn’t and I’m still not the same person I was before going in. I still have fear that someone’s watching me at night, monitoring every single movement I do. I still imagine the screams of the other patients. I still remember the sound of the hospital lights buzzing. I still remember every god damn psychological torturous day that damn place put me through. I was only 18 when I was put in there. I’m 20 now and still have nightmares about my time there. Nothing can ever make me forget about that damn week and a half long stay I had there. Nothing. It’ll always haunt me until I die. I’ll never forget it
Quit bitching. With a joke name like that? You tried to kys no shit they are going to watch you 24/7 dumbass. YOU ARE IN A MENTAL ASYLUM no shit are people going to be screaming. It doesn’t sound like anything bad actually happened to you. It sounds like instead you’re trying to force yourself to have a bad experience. I’m not saying it’s comfortable, but nothing was done without a reason in your story.
Lmfao relax dude I've been to rehab 7 times and 3 psych wards for the same thing, it's no where near what your making it out like. Yes you are being watched etc, but it's nothing like this movie. Stop talking shit.
bro 6 months ago i was sent to psych ward for two months just for yelling in school that i will kms and the rules were stupid there was nothing to do and people were annoying it was really boring they gave me meds that made me kinda braindead
That picking up your puke thing reminds me of rangers training. They make you roll around the sand pit until you puke and then they say put that weakness in your pocket
@@jonathanperry8331 Makes me sad that you had to deal with that (if you‘re talking about yourself) if not… I‘m sorry for everyone that ever had to ecperience something like that
@@Haltdeinmaul69 you don't have to be sad these people sign up for this. I'm not a ranger but I know some and I've seen the documentaries. It's selection they want to see what you can handle and try and desensitize you to uncomfortable situations. Also they piss you off on purpose they want you to be angry so you can turn that into aggression which will make you perform better. Everyone that signs up knows about the sand pit. It's also supposed to be competitive. You are allowed to throw up just not in the pit you could leave the pit and puke and go back but if you puke in the pit the drill instructors get pissed. It's also a hygienic thing because they don't want someone else rolling around in your puke and it's also why it's sand so it coagulates. But your instructor is always making fun of you it's part of the gig but they will make you put it in your pocket. Ranger training is crazy throwing up and putting puke in your pocket is probably the least worst thing they can happen to you.
Yep been there and this one was mid to be honest. Em boys have some sort of rights. We had none what so ever. 1st world vs 3rd world. Shit may stink but it don't compare. At all. Place was hell on earth.
This isn't too far off from reality. There are disciplinary "camps" and schools where teens are literally tortured. Paris Hilton was actually sent to one and has spread awareness. They have a shockingly high death rate.
These programs are very common here in the States. If years of medication with amphetamines like Ritalin don't give us the desired uniform behavioral characteristics we demand from our children, we can always send them to one of these torture camps. Once the child is eighteen, we can get rid of them if necessary and many of them become homeless drug addicts, having learned that the easiest way to deal with your problems is to take a pill. We refer to this as the American Way.
my heart goes out to all the other people who have gone through "treatment centers" and wilderness programs as kids edit: couldn't even finish the video without tearing up
This will be a hot tack for me and probable a bad on but I say this. I find it sick that all those parents at that meeting didn’t pick up on the fact that the girl was both traumatize, abused and broken. She Literally peed her self there in the room and then the balcony point, none of them thought or ask what caused it and none of them are worried about there kids. I just got really heated after seeing this so sorry .
sooo nothing happened to the school? Footage gets leaked off torture like that and somehow no one cares and they still operate and think.. Hmm we need to do MORE torture.
This movie is based on real events. These places exist and as strange as it might sound, they typically don't face any actual legal consequences. One that was particularly infamous was the "Élan School" where exactly this happened. The story got out about how brutally they were torturing the kids sent there, and how one was even beaten to death, and ultimately all that happened was "enrollment" went down and they eventually had to close due to lack of funding.
Same for lobotomies, people with mental or physical disabilities. Look up Judge Rotenberg Educational Center for example. It's scary to think how many people are held in such facilities...
As a child if my parents even attempted to allow these kinda folk to take me I'd never look at them the same you're my parent but you gave me up so easy with no questions to strangers rather than be a parent
I would not have expected so hopeful and ending from this story. In far too many instances, children are either murdered in these "troubled teen" programs, kill themselves upon their release, or are left no better than hollowed-out lobotomy patients after months or even years of constant torture.
the "discplinary schools" in the US are unregulated, and horrible things happen behind closed doors that would make it in a horror movie. The approach like midnight kidknapping and the clohes, shaving, etc. Is exactly how it's run here. I had to edit this, this movie is 95% accurate representation of those facilities omfg. This is happening in real life but they keep getting away with it. They don't go quite as far as the isolation room or standing thing, but they do the punishment floor thing.
Please everyone...Take your kid to therapy...NOT a disciplinary away school. They are always full of abuse. Do your job as a parent and be present, and also get them therapeutic help. A child will not drop their trauma or issues from doing disciplinary work. They can learn the value of money and hard work, but that is not therapy. Like if you want a well trained dog, that does not think and is just a shell.....Sure send your kid to those things to be abused. But it is not guaranteed they will make it out alive because many kill themselves or try running away after being abused in so many different ways. :(
reminds me of when my older sister rebelled and my parents sent her to a 3rd world contry and left her there. When she finally came back she became even worse and thankfully left and had kids, who are rebellious just like her. Now she want to send them there...the circle of life lol

This is actually based on a true story, a disciplinary school that turns teens into former shells of themselves, it happened in the 70’s and 80’s and its called elan. People actually died there and the punishments were very harsh
Sounds alot like the schools in my country
Yea.. when you missbehave, other teens were shouting at you..
That’s crazy
Elan lasted way past the 80's, it closed in 2011
It was more psychological abuse than physical
If any facility of any kind told me that I was not allowed to see my child, I would've told them that if they did not let me see my child, I would call the police immediately. This is sick and disgusting that anyone would ever think to do this shit.
@@ghostythe117 yeah no halfway decent parent signs a contract that will prevent them from being able to see their child. If you can't see your kid you have no way to know if theyre safe or if they are being abused. Absolutely not

@@haileym5912 good choice, as the parents weren’t voluntarily sensing their kids to these schools. The government sent agents to your house for your child. They had guns, and numbers so defending yourself wasnt an option unless you made a militia.

It took the pope many years to even acknowledge what happened. The pope, mother theresa, gahndi. All of these people who you look up to where pure evil.

I was sent to a "tough love camp" like this when I was 14, and spent 17 months there. It was in the Utah wilderness, and it was nothing less than a nightmare. Words just don't even do it justice to describe how horrific this place was. I wasn't even a "troubled teen". I was a good student, I was a Boy Scouts who had earned nearly every badge available for me at the time..played sports..wrestling and swim & dive team..i loved hunting, camping, and hiking, and when i wasn't playing sports I could be found in the forest honing my bushcraft and scouting skills. I didn't drink, smoke, use drugs, or party or anything like that. I didn't sneak out, I didn't break the law, and I didn't hang around people who did. My parents were EXTREMELY religious tho. To the point of being fanatical. Everything was about God and the church, and my life and activities I enjoyed all had to come second to that, and revolve around the constant church services and bible studies, and congregation gatherings and functions. I was beginning to express that I didn't like having religious shoved down my throat day in and day, and having everything revolve around our church. It really was mentally exhausting to attend service 4 times a week, and 4 Bible studies a week, and all of the gatherings and fundraisers and potlucks that the congregation were constantly having. I was good kid, and did what I was told, but the very fact that I even dared to express that I was anything other than 100% enthusiastic about being committed to the church and this lifestyle was absolutely unacceptable to my parents. To them, this was a "rejection of Christ", as they said, and it was no different than being a career criminal in their eyes. Infact, it was much worse. As my Dad put it, "A criminal can always find the Lord and be redeemed..but i already know the Lord, and reject Him.." Which wasn't at all true. I didn't mind going to church on Sunday, and maybe a Bible study later in the week, like normal people. I just didn't want to be so overwhelmed by religion all the time. But they saw this as me "going down the wrong path". And sought out a camp that billed itself as a Christian faith-based wilderness program for at-risk youth. They thought that I might even enjoy it because of my love for being in nature and activities in the wilderness. And one night 4 large men came and literally kidnapped me in the middle of the night. I was hog-tied, blindfolded, and gagged, then thrown in the back of a van, and driven 20 hours across the country to a place where I would be literally TORTURED, along with a couple dozen other teenagers, for the next 17 months, until I was able to escape. The course of my life was changed forever. Im 39 now, and I have not been home, or seen either of my parents since the night I was taken from my bed by those abductors. I had successfully escaped the camp, and made my way out of the Wilderness to a town, where I stole a car that was left running and empty in a gas station parking lot. It was 1998, in a very small town, so this kind of thing was not unusual. I drove the stolen car into Arizona. There i had run out of gas, and was hungry and desperate. In the glovebox of the car I had found a small revolver, which I used to rob a gas station for food, money, and gas, out of sheer desperation. I was caught and arrested by police, and charged as an adult for the car theft and armed robbed. I was sentenced to prison for the next 4 years, getting out when I was 20 years old. Prison was a welcome relief when compared to the hell i had just beeen in. Its been 19 years since my release from prison. I have a successful career, and a happy home with my wife and 3 children. They are my world, and I am thankful for every day that I get to be a husband and father. But I'll never forget the horrors of that camp. It will be with me for the rest of my life, I am certain.
Damn you just couldn’t catch a break .
Yeah your definitely lieing. When u got arrested robbing that gas station which just so happened to have a revolver in the glove compartment you would of said something about where u just came from
@@joelicari565 yeah, I absolutely did tell the police where I came from. I told them everything about it. That didn't excuse my criminal charges tho.
@@joelicari565 i stole the car at one gas station. When the car ran out of gas I was left without wheels. By then I'd been on the move for a couple days without any food. I had no money and I was hungry, scared, and desperate. I searched thru the car looking for money, and thats when I found the pistol in the glove box. I took the gun and left the car walking, and trying to think of what to do. Eventually I decided to rob a gas station for money and food. Im not exactly a "criminal minded" person now, and I certainly wasn't as a teenager. And I got caught pretty quickly. But I absolutely told police everything about where I had came from, and the things that happened there. But that didn't excuse me from stealing a car, illegal possessing a pistol that had been stolen with the car, and then brandishing it while robbing a gas station. There were plenty of sympathetic ears, but i still committed some serious crimes. Since I was charged as an adult, I was facing adult time. I actually got a break on my sentence, because of my circumstances. I could have easily been given ALOT more time.
@@joelicari565 you dont know much about the "tough love camps" do you?
i went to an abusive "therapeutic boarding school for teens" and it was fucking horrific. huge percentage of my fellow graduates have since committed suicide.
I too went to a abuse correction centre, finishing oneself was the most honorable thing to do I used to think.
How I was looked when I came out free .... Was even more scary, i couldn't sleep,i couldn't eat, i deemed myself unfit for any relationship but I gave up drugs.
My life is empty wish overdose had killed me .

When I found out that there are places like this for troubled teens where they are kidnapped and abused, it makes my blood boil. Why do parents thinks it's the solution???
I'm being misunderstood here, I know the parents are not aware of the abuse, my argument is that parents shouldn't give their teenagers to brutal outside parties to correct their behavior that's all I'm saying and yes I know parenthood is very difficult because I was a troublesome teenager myself.
They should do what every Parent
Do, just one or two slap
Then boom your kid has a bright future
because they by that time are at their wits end and are sold these places as the solution. They aren't told their children are going to be abused - they are told they are going to be helped and everyone will live happily ever after. If the teen ends up troubled enough to end up in one of these places it is safe to assume the parent was already not doing a very good job of making parental decisions
Stress and breakdowns really. Even tho troubled kids and teens need specialized help in some cases they do become self absorbed in self pity and become a toxic personality to people around them.
This can reflect in bullies or troubled nightmare teens like in this movie. Eventually people slowly break down and become desperate leading to bad things for both parts.
The problem is that there is no license to be a parent, which means that extremely incompetent people or people who end up being unable to raise a child, still have to raise a child and struggle🤷🏼♂️
places like this exist only because you can make money off of it...
its all about money...
They will lie to parents, force children to tell them how much it helped them, tell them its the only way...
I wish only hell for those people..
This isn't a horror film, this isn't fiction, this is legitimately what happens. Even to this day, children die every year from abuse in these reform facilities. No one is doing anything about this, it's honestly fucking sickening how unprotected minors really are.
Children and teens can't vote so society have no need to care for them. (That is not to say other systems of power are better for kids)
Yes, I know that giving them voting powers is irresponsible but this also means they are powerless in society, a segment of the population without a voice. A price that must be paid.
@@PitLord777 A price that must be paid? You'd best reword yourself because you sound like a complete psychopath in this paragraph.

@@PitLord777 they get to grow up, reach age of vote, and forget about their struggles as kids, now that they are too busy with their struggles as adults...
This one really resonated with me because I had been through something similar to this one. I was sent to a place like this before, it was an all boys place and the teachers treated us like animals. On the first day I had my belongings taken from me, all of what I had on were shorts and a shirt. I was then told to lay down on my stomach on the hot concrete floor and had my feet tied to my hands. They poured water on me and I was whooped with a wire on my feet and hands. The owner of the place was asking me questions while I was getting whooped, once I answered his questions he told the teacher to whoop me harder. I begged him to stop but he said this is what you deserve. They left me there in the hot sun for at least an hour and then they gave me a clean white shirt and pants and they chained my feet together so I won’t be able to walk freely I was there for 3 months and one week. I finally had the chance to call my parents after one month of being there but the owner told me that I better choose my words wisely. I had to lie to my parents and tell them that everything was fine and that the place is helping me become a better person which was a lie. I made a friend there and gave him my family contact info and told him to call them for me and tell them what is really going on if here ever gets out before me and he did. After being there for 2 months and 3 weeks my friends parent came and took him out of the place because he got tetanus. A week later a bug bit my eye and the right side of my face was swollen. It got so bad that I couldn’t see from my right eye and I was in extreme pain. They gave me pain killers and antibiotics but the swelling never stopped. It gotten so bad to a point that I had to tell my parents what happened. The owner found out and gotten so mad at me that he said that this doesn’t change your stay here, your parents are all the way in America and you are here with me so man up and deal with this like a man. I knew that he would call my parents and tell them that I lied to get out of the place, but my mom asked the owner to FaceTime me and see my face as proof that I was okay. Once my mom saw how messed up I looked she said that your aunt will come and pick you up so pack up your clothes and prepare to leave tomorrow morning. I couldn’t believe what my mom just said to me it didn’t feel real. The owner later on talked to her and said that he will take me to the local hospital himself and it will be cheaper for him to take me because he knew someone that worked there. My mom said okay as long as I was getting good treatment. The owner let me off the hook for a week and then he found out that my mother was planning to bring me out of there because she found out what was really going on in there. The owner explained to her that it was a fake rumor and none of that was true. My mom told my aunt to visit me and for her to call my mom once she spoke with me. My mom asked me a bunch of yes and no questions because she found out about how the owner would sit by everyone who had a phone call with their parents and made sure nothing of what was going on here would be told to their parents. After my phone call with my parents I was later released from the place. The last words the owner said to me was to forgive and forget. I said there is a special place in hell for people like him and have him the middle finger but he didn’t understand what it meant. There is a lot I hadn’t mentioned like teachers rapping young boys and the students who were caught trying to escape were beaten and left laying on the stomach and the hands tied to the feet all throughout the night. I thank god for taking me out of such an evil place. I was one of the lucky ones. There were some people that were there for a year or more.
Im so sorry what happened to you🥺 What is happening there is torture is there no way to complain to the Police or human rights watch? It has to stop especially if they rapping people.
I feel so bad for you, I hope you are healing and recovering from those shitty traumas and memory that hell gave you. And I also hope that institution or whatever it is just shuts down and everybody who is involved in it goes to jail for decades.

Big facts
Foreal. Just the thought of hitting my dad like that sends chills down my spine lol.
I didn’t see this movie but I teared up watching this summary. I’m an addict in recovery (now 6 years, I’m 28 now), but it made me think about my parents and how they tried from a place of love to help me growing up.
I can’t imagine the damage places like this movie is based on do (they are real). The father just trying to save his son hits hard. Being gay, depressed, and socially anxious kind of led me to drugs and behaviors that go hand in hand with them.
Being a parent is hard. There’s no rule book, no guide, every child is unique. It breaks my heart that this story is representative of so many parents of troubled kids.
Well said... happy you are doing better now 🙏
There are tons of books about how to be a good parent, there is no excuse for hiring a company to kidnap your children, what is wrong with you to even consider any of this as normal
But there are books for parents on raising kids....since 1955 when Dr. Spick wrote his book on caring for young children through books on preschool years, school age and adolescence....there are books.
And nowadays, there are websites, TH-cam and other social media available. The truck is as a parent, deciding on how you want to prepare your kid for life is something to think about...even if it starts as a list of what you don't want your child to be.
The US is full of these types of places, but usually it’s not even disguised as a school they take the kids out into the wilderness for months on end it’s terrible, one of my friends was sent to one, he was never really the same after
MANY countries have places like these, not just the Us

@@killer0911 It's called Juvenile Detention.
@@killer0911 Tennessee Preparatory School. It was advertised as a place for kids with mild behavior issues such as truancy and just acting out. One of my best friends from there actually asked to be sent there because her home life was so difficult. After being there for a few months her room mother found a small bin liner that she had thrown up in( she had bulimia) We were made to sit in a circle with the girl in the middle having to watch her take a few bites of her own vomit. We were all in tears, horrified for her. And that's just one memory. It's also run by the government. Punishment is one thing but torture is a whole different situation.
@@kathyjones9196 JESUS if thats just one memory then... FUCK... what were OTHER ones like?
The parent approved kidnapping thing is completely real life. It happens all the time, but kids in the therapy world call it "gooning" or "getting gooned." I've experienced it twice; they just come up in your room around 2am and put you in handcuffs and shackles and drive you to the airport.

@@therealmr.incredible3179 if you scream for help at the airport you will not get far. Police will verify your paperwork and contact your parents and the matter will be sorted quickly.

I've seen so many past victims make tiktoks about the situation and its insane that shit like that is legal, their parents even sign over guardian rights, its so traumatising to hear all their experiences

Parental responsibilities are displayed in the movie. Obviously there's deeper mental health concerns or something where a therapist would be better suited to deal with the kid. But, in the movie the dad is thinking he's literally doing everything he can, and the kid is shitting on all his attempts. It's more of a lapse of judgement due to frustration.

The unfortunate thing is, these places really exist and the facility remaining open with no consequences is how the story really ended. I'm genuinely not sure how they actually avoid legal ramifications for literally torturing children, but these places typically only shut down when they start running out of money, usually after word gets out about how they treat the victims, and not because they're forced to.
@@bioforce5 usually they pay off authorities and also in their country, it has the most corrupt people in charge so A LOT of bad things like this place are allowed to legally run by illegal means. Other places in America cover it up as a nice happy camp or school or group homes for kids when it is just a bad place in general. the only way for them to get in trouble is if someone cared enough for the kids and shed light and exposed what the place really is being used for.
Love how they show that no matter how many beatings and humiliations a kid face, the only thing that can change his beahviour is love and honesty.

But when i became his age, I understood, he was just doing what he knew. I dont have kids, afraid to.

Never forgive your abusers. Major sign of weakness.
Cycle of abuse :(
Yeah, kinda same. I was never in such a place, because, thankfully, they're illegal where I live, but my so-called "mother" did her very best to emulate the experience and I think she pretty much nailed it. One of the reasons why I'd never want to have kids is exactly as you said, I'm kinda afraid that I'd probably treat them in a similar way.
If you research into troubled teen homes which abused kids you will find a lot like these located in Western countries but i think most have shut down in the past 10 years
I went to a a school like that 28 months got there wen I jus turned 15 counting down the days till I wud be 17 n cud leave the family foundation school they got shut down fukn horrible place there was actually a lawsuit filed against them

“There’s a difference between discipline and torture. And when a parent of all things crosses that line, they will be hated till the end of days.”
Yeah I really think those people don't deserve to be called parents. They forfeited that title when they decided to be cruel and sadistic towards their children.
It's pretty disgusting cause in and outside of the US there are places like this in real life. They pose as these "troubled teen support" places or "behavioral correction center" like the ranch for example off dr.phill. Or the story this movie is based off. The treatment of actual minors, children is deplorable. They literally starve them, dehydrate them, exhaust them with unruly labor and exercise, take away any form of decent hygiene care (especially if your a teen aged girl on her period), avoid medical care or doctor trips at all cost. Kids have died, staff have died from the kids trying desperately to escape! Like parents are sending their children into essentially concentration camps and if they do get their kid back they are usually shells of themselves and suffer extreme PTSD or kill themselves, or end up worse! Any parent told they can't see or talk to their kid should send up an immediate "Something's happening to my kid they don't want me to know about." red flags. Yet so many parents TRUST these slimy organizations and send out another generation of traumatized adults who have no idea how to handle legit situations with any real emotional, or mental regulation.
They're all owned by religious groups

They used to be very popular during the 60s and 70s, tho most of them have stopped existing now.

Unfortunately, many of them are still operating.

@@JustinAdamson270 I was 14 when i went, emancipation is not possible until you're 16. And when you're a kid you have both limited knowledge of the law, and fear of what might happen if you tried to leave (i had an abusive father in my case).
It's very easy from the outside looking in as a rational adult to come to a conclusion that seems easy enough to just do. But when you're just a kid and have a mental disorder, its very hard to do.
Also, when you do have a mental disorder, it's very hard to claim emancipation even after you turn 16, because the court can determine you're not mentally stable enough to take care of yourself. And if you were sent to a work camp, the odds are heavily stacked against you

I was ready to switch this off a few times. I'm glad I left it on and only fast forwarded it in a few heavy places. It was worth it to see when Luis finally snapped a bit and explained about his own struggles as a single father without a
Manual for Dummies, Single Fathers 1.0. ,
and his own desperate love for Fran which he couldn't turn off.
The actor's facial and body language was excruciating at last, as the recap took over and explained so perfectly how Luis had gotten to this point, and how sorry he was. He really apologised. Apologies are near impossible for some people, even when they're apologising. Luis knew he was just handing his desperately troubled son a list of excuses for how he came to making such a terrible, damaging mistake as Simka. But he needed his son back, and he wanted his boy to make it, and he knew he nearly destroyed him in the process.
Luis was never anything but a good, strong, compassionate man inside a child still angry inside the feelings of rejection left by his mother literally leaving him to escape responsibility, in order to pursue pleasure. Both father and son had feelings bouncing off each other.
And nothing was going to heal until one person began talking.
Really great recap as always.
He blamed his actions on being a single father he's not a saint he's a disgusting coward that deserves to be sent there instead of the kid
Also the kid wouldn't want anything to do with the father after release except to kill him

I can't even show any sign of the incredibly huge mountain of stress that's about to kill me. They keep accusing me of behavioral problems, and they start calling me "stupid" "rude" and stuff like that, they keep telling me to control myself, how am I gonna control myself if I don't even have proper control over my life. Everything is already so overwhelming and stressful, even my mom knows what I'm going through. But the only thing she ever does about it is talk about it so badly, doesn't even try to help me. And everytime I accidentally slam the door, get a little angry, or even just breathe deep, my dad starts yelling at me because he thinks I'm being rude. I just want to tell them about all the stress I'm going through, but I don't even know where to start, or if I should talk to them about it at all. They'd probably just tell me how some other people have it hard. Or even just brush it off...
Im fucking trapped by my parents bro real shit, i feel you
i find it comforting when they say "watch out and take care"
Wow, I was really invested in this. I’m glad it ended the way it did. My own childhood was traumatic. I raised my son as a single mom and he went through some rebellion as a teen. But then at 17 he got cancer. He died at 21. I have no real family. I’m glad this movie ended as it did.
What’s this film called?
Sorry for your loss
@@nope7269 no film. People have told me I should write a book. But, it’s too exhausting to relive so many details. Anyway, many people have endured so much more trauma and loss than I have.
Or… did you mean the name of the film in the video? It says in the intro, I believe?
@@michelleb7399 lol yeah I meant the name of the film in the video, I googled it and couldn’t find it
This is what happens in real life. The troubled teen Industry where Parents are falsely lured by these places into thinking it can change the child. then they accept, and then on some sort of night, some peopel show up and kidnap the child to take them to this harsh place, where the child is tortured and mistreated.
I was really hoping the inmates would organize and overwhelm the guards. It'd be pretty based and satisfying to see them free themselves and beat the guards to death
Same. Line in „the Experimente“
That would happen in real life it's obviously fake because if someone is tortured to that extent they turn psychotic not docile and obedient
Yo bro wish it was like that bcuz i fkin was dying right here to kill em
@@alienmorality never said they weren't did you not read my comment said this one was fake because if your given the chance to kill someone who tortured you you'd take it in a heartbeat
@@JustinAdamson270 you literally said this doesnt happen in real life, it does! These are children being abused, them not organizing a prison riot is plenty realistic
This movie seems way to heart wrenching to enjoy. Caught myself drop a tear at the end. Can’t believe this actually happened
I knew someone who got sent to Coral Reef Academy in Somoa. His story and experience is horrifyingly similar to this...
I think it's appropriate for every family. To have a conversation leaving all of your frustrations and grievances on the table.
Sure the conversation is going to be emotional and heavy. However after there is healing and your bonds get stronger.
i'd add, not even only with your family. With friends, your couple, etc. too! In the last few years I found out the only way to be able to feel and be really happy (as in not depressed, sad, angry, etc.) is to open oneself to others (the people that matters to you), with full commitment. Sincerity and emotions are so looked down on by the system and culture we live by, people trie to hide feelings and thoughts alike and that creates a lot of mental turmoil, which also leads to worse relationships with others.
@@drantil I agree with you sometimes we just need to let her guards down especially with the people we love and tell them what's wrong
@@edd2184 Exactly. Being able to let the guards down is actually very difficult the way we are taught. I had to teach myself to do that, and took years.
@@drantil I learned one thing that life is a constant reinvention and betterment of oneself.
You never beat yourself up or be your harshest critic. However always look at ways to improve yourself and be a better person.
Facilities like this exist and one case about puck, a actor from glee was also sent to a facility like this. Before, he was very outgoing, good and when he came back, he changed drastically. Years later on, he was caught with cp, and was arrested but killed himself. We could find later on, that the facility he went to, there was also a administrator, who was caught with CP. Makes me wonder, if puck parents had not sent him to this facility, and if he wasn’t sexually assaulted by this possible administrator, would he had been different? Since most victims tends to be the abuser.
Does anyone else think it's creepy for them to say "watch out and take care"? Is it like, watch out for spoilers and take care for spoilers? Or is it a threat? Or are they saying goodbye at the beginning of the video?
I think they mean watch out for the spoilers and take care because most everyone dislikes spoilers if they're gonna watch/read something on their own, but I'd be lying if that phrase didn't feel _slightly_ darker than that. 😅
@@silverhawk8699 yes! It's just.....weird, anyways, watch out....and.....take care
It’s watch out for spoilers and take care literally just take care like “be well” or for people who leave bc they don’t want spoilers in which case it would be like “see ya” .. I think you’re just looking way too into it bc of the voice which makes things sound eerie for no reason💀
No just you you crazy boy
be careful what you watching, it might disturb you for life.
Something like this 😁
Stuff like this freaks me out. As I'm a new father, I couldn't imagine sending my son to a "correction" facility. It's so fucked up to think that's how some parents think things will be fixed.
@black serpent you don't choose your family. I'm sorry you went through that. But good on you for surviving and proving your stronger than them. Those evil people deserve the worst of the worst.
I actually cried almost at the end of the video, this is like a torture movie and a sad movie to me. At least they lived *happily ever after*
It reminds me of the atrocities that happened at residential schools only difference being that it was legit cultural and murder genocide on top of everything else shown in this movie. My friends dad who's a survivor of one told me some pretty horrible things that happened to him and what he saw happen to other kids that I would never wish on my worst enemy.
What schools are you talking about? What is "cultural and murder genocide"? That phrase makes no sense. Cultural and murder genocide.
@@frauleinhohenzollern schools like the Carlisle Indian Indian School which focused on trying to forcibly convert Native American children into American (& Canadian) society
@@frauleinhohenzollern They're talking about the residential schools here in Canada. It was a method of cultural and literal genocide against indigenous people. Mass graves have been found full of unknown children. It's been a major scandal here.
There is discipline and there is abuse. Somehow people don't understand abuse until it happens to them 🤦
Clearly!
It worked though he respected his dad at the end and wasn't doing drugs lol
@@berserkagain7976 Are you serious? He was tormented and beaten it doesn’t matter if it worked it a way. He would have to live with something like that for rest of his life. It’s disgusting that you think it is funny when real people have gone through this.
@@berserkagain7976 yeah only bc his father is a lazy ass and didnt raise his son properly if you cant control your child you shouldnt have one,yk what could have happened the boy to come worse,several psychopaths and killers hare one thing in common ABUSE the boy could have come home a monster,i never understood why ppl can be in between its always too soft or too hard
@@kiradavis9788 that means it worked, that does not mean that it is humane
From all the movie recaps channels there are on youtube, this one has the best narrator voice
The end really put a smile on my face. I almost started crying
Kinda strange, y’know, seeing some dude with a check mark watching this video/movie, and commenting “the ending was very wholesome and shows that it is never too late to fix a broken relationship,” AND getting a bunch of likes on it.
Yeah man, that’d be the case if both sides were still the same people as the ones from the start of the movie. They just weren’t. The father essentially killed his own son because he never had the balls to actually try and do this whole parenting thing properly. No, he instead sent his only child to that hell hole, taking away any possibility of him having a normal life forever. No, buddy, that’s not wholesome. That’s the definition of true evil. It was HIS responsibility to research the institute before sending his own flesh and blood in there, yet he even failed at that. Yikes.
this is so beautiful i wish i could watch this movie in theatre so i could cry the entire end of the movie when his father explains everything to him
How can I watch this movie from the USA?
I'm so glad they ended up being there for eachother!! My life is so different.. this put tears in my eyes 😒😑
Camps like this would probably SCAR teenagers for life more than disciplining them.
i went to a bootcamp which was similar to this and it is horrific and inhumane. that shit should be illegal. i was sent there because of my fuckin deppresion and i left with ptsd, drug addiction and severe anxiety. i wouldnt wish ANYONE to go to these types of camps. Parents who send there kids to these types of camps deserve to rot in hell and lose their rights to having children.
Did you kill your parents ?
Some of these camps make signing up, making it through Basic, and being assigned to Fort Polk seem like Heaven by comparison...
At least the Military PAYS and it'd be my own choice to be there.
my dad wants to send me to places like these because I argue with him about unfair rules like, he think I need to be disciplined. I honestly hate that my dad thinks i'm a bad kid when I don't even do anything bad except not interact with other people(i'm confused how that's bad), I never get into fights I guess I do embarrass him sometimes but it's because he forces me to interact and I get extreme fear. All of this just because I argue against unfairness. Although I may be wrong I never think of myself as always correct infact it's 50/50, and i think he's very simple minded he thinks there is is only one way things should work. He also hates video games(I mean he says he hates them because they're not productive he has a point but there fun), by productive I mea no money or experience of getting a job is earned according to him. But I have to accept he's not as bad as media portrays parents hating video games.
Im sorry to hear that. I think this is a social anxiety problem which can be treated through therapy abs psychiatry. It seems like your father is not someone you can communicate with because he doesn’t seem to understand social anxiety and being an introvert. As someone who is an introvert and a little anxious when talking to people, I received those messages and sometimes lectures all the time. Overall, see a therapist and/ or psychiatrist to provide you coping skills for social anxiety. There’s nothing wrong with being introverted because your loved ones should except who you are. Just remember that everyone in the world is loved regardless of who they are. Therefore, you are important and loved.
@@aries6554 Well Now I'm no longer anxious unless I'm meeting new people or old people who I had left on a bad note with. I still handle it better than before due to being forced into a offline school situation. I don't know if that's the best way to lose social anxiety, but that's how I've lost it. I still prefer staying with my pc and playing on it, but I don't fear interacting that much anymore. About my dad he eventually started talking less about it(still talks about it, just like it went from every day to every week/month). This is probably because I increased my studies for exams. I also have tried to avoid him every chance I get. They also tried to send me to therapy for "Behavioral problems", and give me anxiety pills. Well that did nothing. Anyways I guess you can get rid of a fear by pushing yourself into it.
There was the Dozier School for Boys, also known as the White House (the kids were known as The White House Boys), in Florida that had some of the most brutal rapes, tortures, and deaths ever recorded in US history at reform schools.
The documentaries of first hand accounts are disgustingly horrifying to hear and see. How people could actually conceive of such vile ways to torture kids escapes my thought process. The actions against those boys gives the inquisition a run for it’s money.
Don’t get me wrong…there were (and still are in my opinion) other schools that also tortured the kids, but I had a hard time watching the Dozier accounts.
It all starts at home there is a happy medium to things. you cant be too leanat on your kids, but you cant be too strict on them either. My parents told me growing up.. get serious when you need to be, and have fun when you don't. That's what keeps your sanity, and that's exactly what I do. When I need to get things done i stay focused and get what I have to do done. When I'm done doing what I needed to do, I go out and have fun and enjoy myself.
This was so intense. I actually teared at the ending of this lol it was really touching. I've seen another similar movie or show about this too. I wonder how many places like this were out there.
Title pls
@@andrewschultz7139 it's called "Lockup" I think. The main protagonist guy is the actor Marcel Borras.
I actually tried looking for the scene in the end when t GB e father and son are making up and crying, but I couldn't find a clip of it anywhere. Lol
Its not lockup
@black serpent damn brother, I'm so sorry to hear that! Thats tough and I can't even fathom that being for anybody.
I think I saw a documentary about a similar place, but it was in the US. And then there's another place I saw that was in New Zealand. I think the new Zealand one was an episode from Vice, the Channel on TH-cam, interesting topics and videos. But the other one in the US, I can't think of the name of the place or the film. I'm thinking it was a documentary, and not a movie or something based on real life. I wish I could find out for you. If I remember, I'll be sure to write back.
I'm glad you're outta that shit hole place. Hope everything is getting on now for you 🫶
@black serpent people on here can be shit, and for the most time, without reason(s) 🤷 don't care about those words brother. Some people loose grip of reality sometimes I feel, and forget that there are people attached to the comments or names online.
Honestly though, it can only get better right?🤞🕉️☮️🙏
This also reminds me of parents sending their rebellious children to get lobotomized, so that they become more "behaved". Like wth, 4 year old are supposed to be rebellious.
I actually worked in a place like this.
But it was for self injurious autistic students.
Electric shocks were used to correct behaviours.
I eventually left..
That is absolutely disgusting. Did you report it? I’m autistic and this makes me feel completely sick
Yea that definitely doesn't exist because autistic people are kept a very close eye on by government
You are talking about rotten berg right, it’s fucking horrible that it is still allowed to continue existing because of stupid politicians protecting it, do whatever you can to help fight against the center so we can rid the world of rottenberg!

I'm Asian and live at Malaysia. I never seen anywhere a school or organization that curing teen behavior.
I watched this video that I will say sometimes punishment don't be too hard on someone that have bad behavior especially teen. I knew some leader in 'curing' bad behavior of teenagers going insanely torturing teens like they don't have life.
We should do some petition to not giving our teens an abusing way to fix their behavior. They are not soldiers and they not some though man and woman to stand weird and ugly punishment.
I am Asian as well. I believe the reason these kinds of places don't exist here is the difference in parenting and culture. Like the idea of slapping or punching your parent is just inconceivable. On my side of Asia we are taught to value family.
And most Asian parents wouldn't put up with terrible behavior, some even go extreme. I can remember my mother's hour long lectures about my terrible behavior. At one point I was forbidden from using the computer. As for an example of the extreme, my friend once told me about her dad. Her dad's father once beat him up to the point of unconsciousness. With tiger moms/dads, we don't really need places like that.
@@amphiptered.5355 Yeah asian culture is next level
So Asians are Nazis that treat children as property and slaves
This reminds me of “Turnabout Ranch” and other places like that. Paris Hilton has spoken out about facilities like this abusing children. My brother was almost killed at a facility sponsored by the county sheriff that was a “therapy program”. If you send your child to boarding school as a punishment, 9/10 times it will be operated like a prison as well. If it’s not a prestigious and expensive school that only accepts the best kids then this is what it’s going tonne like. Stop shuffling your kids off to other people to deal with.
If I was the one to go through all of this torture and punishment, I would've remembered each and every person's face and name and find them after I get released and would've destroyed them up.

This is how I felt when I was sent to the psych ward. A place that’s supposed to “help” you ended up being something that I still occasionally have flashbacks about. For background as to why I was sent there: There was one night when I got cross faded so bad that I straight up lost my mind. I attempted suicide 3 times that night, committed self harm multiple times, was blubbering nonsense, and was just not myself. I don’t remember a single thing about that night, I had to be told what happened. My parents were genuinely terrified and decided to trick me into going there. I was told I was going to be sent there for a “blood test” that ended up being a decoy for me to admit myself into the psych ward. As a result of learning this, I immediately attempted suicide in the room they brought me in to fully administer me in by trying to hang myself with bedsheets. I was so erratic that it took 4 security officers to restrain me, and I was strapped to my stretcher and threatened to be sedated with I don’t even know what. I was there for a week and a half, but it felt like forever. Staff there legitimately did not know what they were doing, nor did they want to be there. I was very very lucky to have a room to myself, otherwise I would have to be roommates with other patients that were as equal to if not worse than me in my mental state. I never went outside the entire time I was there nor did I ever see the sun. Only the same damn hospital lights. I was under 24/7 supervision, meaning they watched me like a hawk every day for 3 days. Every. Fucking. Day. I didn’t even shower or use the bathroom because I didn’t want someone to be watching me do that during those 3 days. They also always watched me while I slept. Imagine having someone watch you sleep the entire fucking night, with a bright hospital light shining into your face because they kept the door open the whole damn night too. They forced me to wake up at either 6 or 6:30 in the morning to take my vitals every day. There were people who were physically crippled there and when they called out for help or for basic needs, they were ignored. That was only the day. At night, I got used to hearing peoples screams from their rooms during the middle of the night. You’d have people screaming for help or about how they were going to kill themselves in extremely detailed ways. I never got any actual therapy, and the doctors “checkups” were just excuses to persuade me to take meds I didn’t even need nor ever heard of before. When I got out, I wasn’t and I’m still not the same person I was before going in. I still have fear that someone’s watching me at night, monitoring every single movement I do. I still imagine the screams of the other patients. I still remember the sound of the hospital lights buzzing. I still remember every god damn psychological torturous day that damn place put me through. I was only 18 when I was put in there. I’m 20 now and still have nightmares about my time there. Nothing can ever make me forget about that damn week and a half long stay I had there. Nothing. It’ll always haunt me until I die. I’ll never forget it
damn...
Quit bitching. With a joke name like that? You tried to kys no shit they are going to watch you 24/7 dumbass. YOU ARE IN A MENTAL ASYLUM no shit are people going to be screaming. It doesn’t sound like anything bad actually happened to you. It sounds like instead you’re trying to force yourself to have a bad experience. I’m not saying it’s comfortable, but nothing was done without a reason in your story.
Lmfao relax dude I've been to rehab 7 times and 3 psych wards for the same thing, it's no where near what your making it out like. Yes you are being watched etc, but it's nothing like this movie. Stop talking shit.
And just FYI I spent 30 days twice and one time was 90 days.
bro 6 months ago i was sent to psych ward for two months just for yelling in school that i will kms and the rules were stupid there was nothing to do and people were annoying it was really boring they gave me meds that made me kinda braindead
I'm disappointed there was no resolution for the other kids who are left behind to suffer more
10:00 Dude I have trauma from the sensory overload from normal everyday situations because of autism so I would probably literally die on the spot 💀
im glad that in the end they were able to communicate to each other and got along in the end.
It's fake someone that went through that would turn psychotic and attack on sight
They'd be able to endure pain until it don't affect em at all then they'd attack
That picking up your puke thing reminds me of rangers training. They make you roll around the sand pit until you puke and then they say put that weakness in your pocket

@@Haltdeinmaul69 you don't have to be sad these people sign up for this. I'm not a ranger but I know some and I've seen the documentaries. It's selection they want to see what you can handle and try and desensitize you to uncomfortable situations. Also they piss you off on purpose they want you to be angry so you can turn that into aggression which will make you perform better. Everyone that signs up knows about the sand pit. It's also supposed to be competitive. You are allowed to throw up just not in the pit you could leave the pit and puke and go back but if you puke in the pit the drill instructors get pissed. It's also a hygienic thing because they don't want someone else rolling around in your puke and it's also why it's sand so it coagulates. But your instructor is always making fun of you it's part of the gig but they will make you put it in your pocket. Ranger training is crazy throwing up and putting puke in your pocket is probably the least worst thing they can happen to you.
what is horrifying is these places actually exist.
Yep been there and this one was mid to be honest. Em boys have some sort of rights. We had none what so ever. 1st world vs 3rd world. Shit may stink but it don't compare. At all. Place was hell on earth.

This isn't too far off from reality. There are disciplinary "camps" and schools where teens are literally tortured. Paris Hilton was actually sent to one and has spread awareness. They have a shockingly high death rate.

Some places like this still operate in the United States, like the Judge Rotenburg Center
lAnD oF tHe FrEe
not that I can say much in England can't even have an online discussion without the police potentially ending up involved
These programs are very common here in the States. If years of medication with amphetamines like Ritalin don't give us the desired uniform behavioral characteristics we demand from our children, we can always send them to one of these torture camps. Once the child is eighteen, we can get rid of them if necessary and many of them become homeless drug addicts, having learned that the easiest way to deal with your problems is to take a pill. We refer to this as the American Way.
This is actually so sad but so sweet at the same time
That is not a correction facility that is a concentration camp
Not even remotely close.
my heart goes out to all the other people who have gone through "treatment centers" and wilderness programs as kids
edit: couldn't even finish the video without tearing up
This will be a hot tack for me and probable a bad on but I say this. I find it sick that all those parents at that meeting didn’t pick up on the fact that the girl was both traumatize, abused and broken. She
Literally peed her self there in the room and then the balcony point, none of them thought or ask what caused it and none of them are worried about there kids. I just got really heated after seeing this so sorry .
sooo nothing happened to the school? Footage gets leaked off torture like that and somehow no one cares and they still operate and think.. Hmm we need to do MORE torture.
Well, it happens in real life.
This movie is based on real events. These places exist and as strange as it might sound, they typically don't face any actual legal consequences. One that was particularly infamous was the "Élan School" where exactly this happened. The story got out about how brutally they were torturing the kids sent there, and how one was even beaten to death, and ultimately all that happened was "enrollment" went down and they eventually had to close due to lack of funding.
the most unbelievable thing about this is that the kid forgave his father for having him tortured.
Same for lobotomies, people with mental or physical disabilities.
Look up Judge Rotenberg Educational Center for example.
It's scary to think how many people are held in such facilities...
What's terrifying is that places like this really exist.
The scary part is that these kind of facilities are real and people have suffered horrific things in these institutions
As a child if my parents even attempted to allow these kinda folk to take me I'd never look at them the same you're my parent but you gave me up so easy with no questions to strangers rather than be a parent
This movie just explains why we shouldnt be abusive to our parents (Mother and Father) because some of them didnt made our lives miserable.
I would not have expected so hopeful and ending from this story. In far too many instances, children are either murdered in these "troubled teen" programs, kill themselves upon their release, or are left no better than hollowed-out lobotomy patients after months or even years of constant torture.
the "discplinary schools" in the US are unregulated, and horrible things happen behind closed doors that would make it in a horror movie. The approach like midnight kidknapping and the clohes, shaving, etc. Is exactly how it's run here. I had to edit this, this movie is 95% accurate representation of those facilities omfg. This is happening in real life but they keep getting away with it. They don't go quite as far as the isolation room or standing thing, but they do the punishment floor thing.
Please everyone...Take your kid to therapy...NOT a disciplinary away school. They are always full of abuse. Do your job as a parent and be present, and also get them therapeutic help. A child will not drop their trauma or issues from doing disciplinary work. They can learn the value of money and hard work, but that is not therapy. Like if you want a well trained dog, that does not think and is just a shell.....Sure send your kid to those things to be abused. But it is not guaranteed they will make it out alive because many kill themselves or try running away after being abused in so many different ways. :(
reminds me of when my older sister rebelled and my parents sent her to a 3rd world contry and left her there. When she finally came back she became even worse and thankfully left and had kids, who are rebellious just like her. Now she want to send them there...the circle of life lol
What 3rd world country was it?
what
I think you should keep that to yourself friend
Sounds like the circle of abuse
I dont think she was the problem bud
