Pretty sure they blocked me after I commented, so no screenshot.

The US essentially has no restrictions on what parents can do to their children, or pay to have done to them. These companies will show up at night, and take a child out of their bed at night. They explicitly tell parents not to warn the kid what will happen.

Imagine being woken up in the middle of the night, maybe forced to quickly pack, and then be loaded in a van. You have no idea where you are going or why or who or what is going on. You get taken to a facility which is basically a cult. You might be dumped out in rural Utah, with people that have zero training in wilderness safety, who might punish you by denying you food and water.

Children die in these places all the fucking time. There generally is no state or federal oversight of these facilities - so there aren’t really investigations. These places are havens for child predators.

When I was sexually abused at a similar facility and tried to report it - I was placed on heavy doses of antipsychotics in retaliation. They drugged me unconscious, and then punished me for sleeping during “class.” As an adult, I have involuntary shakes and movements associated with the medical malpractice enacted on me.

These places don’t get investigated, they don’t get shut down. I think Utah is one of the only states with any form of agency that watches over these places. Child protective services won’t go in, health care agencies won’t go in.

Children have no rights in the US. They are the property of their parents, to be disposed of as they wish. And fuckers like this agency are delighted to kidnap children that their parents can’t be assed to parent.

    How do you assert your right to anything in this system?

    Yeah it’s just ridiculous. The most ridiculous thing in the recent years has been browsing the web anywhere where the new EU EULA laws apply.

    Now it’s become less so, but it still for most sites often takes literally 15 minutes to go and click off all the “legitimate interest” bits. Just like straight up wanting to refused everything is taking me longer than it would to load that site on 56k. And that’s not even to begin to consider that someone would actually read the hundreds of pages of all this hundreds of different deals. For every fucking website. It’s literally impossible to make an informed decision about any of those deals or agreements, because there’s just too much fucking info.

    I’ve literally quoted the law at Finnish authorities and tried contacting journalists and politicians, and I’m still yet to find a single person who would be even willing to accept that the cops did something illegal. I don’t need for them to change the past, but stop fucking gaslighting me about how the present works when I’m showing you photographic evidence you’re ignoring.

    Youknow?

    Even when literally caught in the act, even when I have black on white about them saying something that is clearly inaccurate, they’ll just ignore their mistake. And usually blame me. Even my mom implicitly victim blames me.

    Fucking society, being ruined by greedy psychopaths
