WTF has become of America?

That is torture, plane and simple.

So social services, that will remove a kid because a parent says something. To tilt a divorce their way is ok. But they'll sit on their hands with this?


Then again the FDA is silently cheering the Children's Hospital decision to team up with pfizer to give kids. A not at risk group, vaccines. Where the benefits, outweigh the risk. Till 10-20 yrs from now when who know what the side effects, if any, might be.


Somethings wrong. When what use to be considered abuse, or a threat to the child's welfare. Is now acceptable.



Is there a need for this type of therapy in "some cases" perhaps. However to subject kids to this, based on the story. For up to 24 hrs time frames is not acceptable.

In full agreement with both of these statements. Electro shock "therapy" is one of the worst forms of torture possible and no court in the world would allow what I watched in that video from being used against enemy combatants in a military war scenario - but OUR courts are allowing its use on OUR children?

Just about every school district in the nation has also banned paddling of students (I got paddled by my schools in elementary and in Jr. High). Paddling was deemed ineffective (it was in my case) and "abusive". As Jim stated, Social Services can/will/do remove children from their parents for much MUCH less (and even charge the parents with crimes) - yet we allow it to be used by a school?

I'm disgusted.
