Only way to stop this stuff, I would suggest, is maximum exposure. Write to both you government representatives, and local and national media services demanding an investigation.
If you really are concerned, thats how you might have an effect.

And why doesn't the US government do something? I'd guess a lack of publicity, also the ones ultimately responsible for sending their kids to these Guantanamo-type facilities are ultimately scared, misinformed parents. You know - a conservative politicians bread and butter. If you called parents to task for this sort of child abuse you can imagine Republicans and Teapartiers rushing to screech about the US federal government interfering with parents rights and facilitating "out of control" teens riding roughshod over their embattled parents. The Same Republicans and Teapartiers who spun wild conspiracy theories about FEMA camps, fancy that.  |

I haven't in a long time. We used to have a NYRA chapter, but it's defunct now. :/ |

An exposé on daytime TV would work wonders. Have survivors describe their experiences on talk shows (Oprah would have been perfect if it were still around), and there WILL be a massive public outcry. I guarantee it. You'd have to be completely heartless to not be infuriated by this.

These articles suggest that the only guy really doing anything about it is some senator in like Virginia, or something.
What I want to know is, why is he apparently the only guy really doing anything about it?

True, then you would get the Christian right who support these camps, such as Mitt Romney (?) taking campaign donations, or something, from these guys. ...rebelling against gawd!!!!!!! What's the point of hell in the afterlife then, if you're going to be treated like hell in your current life? It's to save these kids and bring them back into the loving embrace of the Lord. Or some shit like that. |

Don't know if it's true, but I read somewhere (one of the links I think) that the founder of these schools gives money to the GOP. |

After all, this is what the dominionists want - complete control over children and women, and right now they're kinda in control of the Republican politics. |

It says on the main article of that site that they give money to the GOP, & that's why the democrat senator who's against them was slammed for "wanting to look like a hero."

I know. They didn't even try to justify themselves. I'm kind of amazed they didn't start masturbating & go, "I do this while watching them torture children & get PAID for it!"
