That places like this do not only exist, but are perfectly legal.

Chagen

This needs no explanation.

Seriously.

What the fuck. 

AHR

...wow. Just...wow.

Isn't homophobia beautiful.

SotiCoto

...  Euthanasia is the only answer. For all involved.
Or if it isn't the only answer, it is still the best.

Bob

Jesus, I knew things like this existed, but I never knew that they were this bad. That's just... Wow.

IanExMachina

*Reads location, tempted to post america Fuck Yeah song*

Bob

Yeah. Thank god the UK isn't like that...

AHR

Read the comments. There are actually more stories from similar experiences in them.

IanExMachina

I missed the part in the article where it mentions the brainwashing camps in the UK.

Also that article is on the expectations of the 1.6k people surveyed not on actual stats.

However I admit there is homophobia, but not to the same level as seen in america, possibly due to less fundamental Christianity.

Bob

Eh, I was too lazy to type "brainwashing [k]amps in the UK."

IanExMachina

Anyhow, it is a terrible thing.

Also it surely can't be legal to take them against their will to places like that?

SotiCoto

I blame the muslims.
The Church of England is far too fat and lazy these days to do such things.

Bob

I think it's konsidered to be okay if the parents agree to it, and konsidering the fakt that the parents are too-klosed minded to kare what their jhildren are being put through and too oblivious to what's really going on to speak against it... yeah.

IanExMachina

I'm sure that all the mental anguish and shame forced upon them can have negative consequences at all.

Those people are terrible parents, it is almost unbelievable that people with that mindset are still around these days.

SotiCoto

Well, I'm sure some of you noticed.
The prevalent social attitude is all for quantity of life with not a mote of consideration for quality.
Afterall, who cares if people are suffering if it makes them breed more?  Who cares if there isn't enough food to go around when we can just get high on brain-drugs by making more babies?


... Ok. The fox-cub playing with a polystyrene tray outside my window is cute, but human babies aren't. They're disgusting little.... um... What was I on about again?

Oh yeah. Not enough consideration for quality of life, too much obsession with quantity.
I still maintain the best solution is mass-euthanasia.

BlackHumor

I'm fairly sure that's not legal (in the US); at least I know it's not legal to illegally imprison someone. Maybe the laws are more lenient for minors with parental consent but I don't think they could possibly get away with literally kidnapping someone.

Not to mention I know abuse is still illegal even if your parents consent to it, because abuse is still illegal even if your parents commit it.

And I'm also absolutely positive that this:

...they “forgot” all of the psychiatric medication I had been on at my house

is not legal. Depriving someone of legitimately prescribed medication is as illegal as depriving someone of food. She's lucky it wasn't terribly important medication they wouldn't let her have.
