Gay teenager was abducted to a fundie school

[tempus]

Shortly after I left the program I was raped. I shared what happened with my mother, who then told me, like Cross Creek did, that it was my fault, I asked for it, and that I should have known it would happen. She then proceeded to share her own twisted version of the story with my Cross Creek therapist, who shared it with my group. I was mortified and my self-esteem was completely destroyed by this utter lack of confidentiality and complete betrayal of trust.

God fucking dammit, I wish I hadn't read this.

This makes me happy for sleeping with a large knife under my pillow, the fact people are allowed to do this scares me deeply.

Holy. Fucking. Shit.

Our vision is to reach multitudes of youths and their families, and to produce a remnant of people that will glorify Jesus in and through their lives. We want to assure that these youths become a blessing to their local Churches as well as their communities. From among these youths that we have reached, God will separate some for the work of the ministry. Because our society is no longer producing morally healthy children on a large scale, it is also our goal to establish a community of strong families, which is really what a Church should be. Eventually, neighboring Churches will catch on until the whole city is filled with strong, local Church bodies, thus creating a strong city. Strong clusters of cities won to Christ will inevitably restore a strong and mighty nation under GOD, which in turn can impact the whole world.

Our emergency service team, who are licensed and ordained chaplains, are available to help families in crisis with troubled youth in need of intervention. We receive phone calls from parents all over America and throughout the world, asking for help. We send out a Search and Rescue Team for a defiant teen who may be uncooperative or unwilling. Partnering with the parents, we arrange for their child to be picked up by team members who are spiritually mature and specially trained to minister in these situations.

$2,500.00 + transportation*. We provide a flat rate for transportation anywhere in the continental United States. This provides you with up to 2 Agents, meals and snacks, car rentals, fuel, tolls and any other incidentals for your child. We are highly experienced in booking the lowest airline fares that can match our time table goals, saving you the most money possible. Other costs shall not be incurred without full knowledge and agreement of the parents.

ONCE THE AGENTS HAVE LEFT TO PICK-UP YOUR CHILD NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN EXCEPT FOR ANY REFUNDABLE AIRFARE.

*If the student is unable to fly on commercial airlines due to behaviors we will take them via private plane or ground transportation with the knowledge and agreement of the parents for permission and payment.

Parents more or less own their kids until they're 18.

Yeah, but I would've thought child abuse laws would kick in with a vengeance when it comes to these sort of shenanigans. If it doesn't then something is very very wrong.

You should visit this site:

A lot of religious child abuse has been excused.

There is no snide image macro that could truly convey the amount of seething contempt that I have for these people. If I had ever directly witnessed anything like this, it's a safe bet that someone out there would be breathing through a new hole in their head.

When I say that people like this don't deserve to live, for once that's not hyperbole on my part.

Fuck these assholes. Utah is part of the United States. The United States is not a Christian nation. Someone quit bitching about abortion & gay marriage long enough to get off their lazy ass & shut these pricks down.

[priestling]

If my parents had dared try this on me when I was still living at home (thank the Darkness at least Dad had common sense... the woman that raised me, on the other hand...), there'd be bodies and blood on the floor before I'd allow myself to be kidnapped.

[Admiral Lithp]

I'm not saying I'd be able to outfight them, I'm just saying I won't go to their program, as I'll be in jail for stabbing one of them in the neck.

[DrKilljoy]

But seriously, they did this to their kids. THEY DID THIS TO THEIR OWN GODDAMN KIDS.

I'll never complain about my parents again. Ever.

[trike]

I remember reading a similar story from a young man who was taken by force to one of these "schools". Here's the thing: what parent in their fright mind would condone that sort of behavior? Bursting in in the middle of the night, scaring the shit out of your kid, etc.

[Meshakhad]

This is my response. It's a fairly upbeat song, but the lyrics don't pull punches.

This. Is. War.

[gyeonghwa]

Funny _{as in sad funny instead of lol funny} thing is, most people would expect this from a war torn country¹ but would never imagine that Americans could do this.

¹_{Not to belittle the abduction that happens there. They are all deplorable.}

[foolishwisdom]

Con artists, or people who think they're righteous (and thus, believe what they're doing is morally justified). Can't say which is worse...

[Admiral Lithp]

Hard to be a con artist when your website's so damn blatant about what you do.
