Former Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin ® sent his son to a disciplinary school in Jamaica that was raided for abusing the teenagers, the Times of London reports.
Then he apparently failed to pick up his son, allowing him to become a ward of Jamaica.
After losing the governorship in 2019, Bevin sent Noah away to a facility in Florida, and then last year to ALA. He did not respond to any of my emails. Nor do any of the other parents I contact.
These people are absolutely fucked in the head. Everything and everyone is a pawn to be used and thrown away at their earliest convenience.
It should be illegal to send children away to abuse camps.
Laws preventing this type of abuse are needed because conservative parents are not capable of empathy, which makes them terrible parents. They aren’t able to recognize that throwing a child into a torture gulag is bad, but they do recognize what is legal or illegal. We may not be able to force a conservative to be a good parent, but we can provide them with laws that can guide them away from obvious abuses like these.
Conservatives have a difficult time understanding what is good or bad, so they often look to laws for guidance. If something is not expressly illegal, a conservative will think such behavior is acceptable. What is obvious to a normal person is simply not obvious to a conservative. Laws help guide conservatives away from child abuse. We need to demand such laws or this abuse will continue.
If you noticed in the article, most of these schools are based on Utah. It combines two things that Mormons are very good at: abusing teenagers and making
money in dubious/illegal ways.The state laws are lax, the child protective services and schools are underfunded, and culturally parents attempt to exert extreme control over their teenagers and barely adults.
Something something family values…
Something something which we use to rely…
My God. I am weeping.
A guy who went through such an experience made a webcomic about it. Very long read, but incredibly powerful.
