i cannot imagine the hatred that sparks and grows inside you, when you realize your partents send you to prison, because the cannot handle conflict like adults.

[xyouthe]

imagine being taken away from your escape from reality, and instead of being put into reality youre put into a torture camp where reality is used against you, and then youre expected to somehow NOT want to escape reality anymore. shits crazy

“Why doesn’t my kid talk to me anymore?”

[ImSkippingClassPlay]

I'm a Chinese kid who was put in a place like this when I was 10. After I was allowed to leave, I had trouble adapting back to society for YEARS. Then, everyone in the outside world, (who never experienced trauma) saw that I behaved autistic and bullied the crap out of me...
There is no sympathy in this cruel world.

'Anti Internet'
'One shower a week'

In the west we would call that a contradiction.

[christopherlabbe]

Traditional parents who typically call their children rebellious almost always view their children as a robot with a flaw, rather than as a human being.

Crazy how suicide has to be censored but murder doesn’t

[connor]

Imagine your parents handing you this amazing device that allows you to completely zone out from your real life, where every day is a struggle, and then your parents believe you use this device too much so they send you to prison for using the device that they gave you too much.

[oithetresen]

I can't even blame the kid who let his mother starve to death after being sent to one of those camps. How could someone ever trust their parents again after such a breach of trust?

[kreme_hax]

As a Chinese, I really don’t understand why many parents think that success must be linked to suffering, so they create suffering even if there is no suffering, and the more suffering there is, the better the outcome will be. However, they never think about whether suffering is really linked to success and maturity.

[fine_ol_chap]

After treatment like this, your child is no longer your "child." You've turned them into a robot.

[xyloiscool]

As a chinese person, i told my mom if she would send me to one of those places and she broke down in tears thinking about it. These programs are truly fucked up and should be stopped worldwide.

[ThePizzaGoblin]

Your parents send you to military school because you want to drum instead of be a doctor? Jesus christ

[yesipan]

These types of "behavioral schools" for "troubled" kids also exist in the U.S., kidnapping/abuse and all. I'll never understand the reasoning behind sending your kid to a place like this no matter what they do. I feel like it's just people refusing to admit they're not good parents.

[Diptera_Larvae]

They call it an addiction just because they don’t like it, by that logic surely you could call anything an addiction, “grid mindset addiction” “going to work addiction” “studying and getting good grades addiction”

[kiianaluu]

I'm Chinese and used to live in China. I wanna add one more side note to this whole thing, the most infamous "doctor"/facility owner is Yang Yongxin, he is also the original inspiration for Dead By Daylight's Killer "Doctor" as thousands of gamers in China wanted to have him forever remembered as a killer. For people who are interested in what he did you should google it, but I believe most of the detailed context will be in Chinese results, still, even just by scratching the surface with limited English results, you'll get a good idea on how fucked up it is.

It’s so sad that a bilibili content creator and his team who dedicated their time and effort on debunking these schools had come out to say that a lot of his friends were sent extreme death threats from the school (like funeral equipment to their doorstep) and some even took their own lives. This deserves to be spoken up about.

[TheCoastalAVENGER]

I know somebody who was sent to one of those troubled youth camps here in the US. Place called Diamond Ranch Academy, they were tossed into simulated homelessness and forced to sit in the grueling desert sun with no water. They suffered many atrocities all the while their website showed green pastures, horse riding and more. When their parents came to visit they were mortified and thankfully pulled them out despite the camp pushing against it.

Many people who were sent there wound up commiting suicide later in life and the Ranch itself has recently shut down after several kids have died due to neglect/abuse. There are many more places like that in the US however and they are truly some of the most vile and disgusting places on the planet! Torturing and absuing troubled youth in need of help for profit. does it get any more deplorable than that.

[KlaustoFausto]

As someone who probably actually has an internet addiction, it enrages me that the problem was rightfully recognized so early in China, yet that they proceeded with the worst way possible of dealing with it

[Yamezzzz]

This is almost IDENTICAL to The Elan School in Maine, USA.

Actually insane it continued for so many decades with parents paying huge fees for the torture of their own kids.
