  • That "school" should be closed down permanently, and the staff responsible given jail sentences!

    Worse than that was done to me when I was a child, so you can imagine the emotions I felt when watching it.

    Twana, try this on for size. Try being tied up by an alcholic stepfather who sodomized you when you were 8 years old, and then at 17 having the same man point a loaded 30-06 5 inches from your forehead. I was cornered, had NO place I could run to, and he pulled the trigger, FULLY intending to kill me in his drunken state. The bolt malfunctioned and the rifle failed to fire.

    Seconds after this (felt like an eternity at the time), I ran towards him and past him, and got out of the house and hid in the woods. He went outside on the deck, unjammed the weapon, and emptied it into the air. My mother called the Oregon State Police who did NOTHING!

     

    Today, I'm a child advocate. When I see ANY adult abusing a child, I call the authorities. If its a parent simply swatting a kid on the behind for not obeying, no problem. A few years ago, I saw A member of the Coast Guard here in Astoria, who was having an issue with his 5 year old son. The father had his hand around the boy's throat and the little guy was crying his eyes out.The father said: "Stop crying. Stop crying now or I will squeeze your neck." I took the license plate and called the Police. Again, the police did not come. I called the local Coast Guard Air Station in Astoria AND the station at Cape Dissappointment in Washington State. THEY took me seriously, and I thank God SOMEONE did, because that family NEEDED professional help!

     

    The moral of this true story: Do NOT expect the police to help you...EVER!

    It is NOT their job to enforce the law, like we have all been led to believe, rather it is their job to show up AFTER the fact and try to solve the crime after the victim has been injured or killed.

    • My childhood was at least as bad as yours with the exception that, by the time I was seventeen, I was a United States Marine; nevertheless, I am firmly convinced that most of today's youth(s) do not receive adequate (and correct!) punishment for the peccadilloes of poor, youthful decisions.  I am neither a "child advocate" nor an enemy thereof.

      The most important thing to take from your post is that relying upon the police is not a valid defense strategy -- for anything.

  • This is a special school for incorrigible youth, and he was being defiant.  But, still...

    ...That was excessive.

    This sort of treatment is in store for us, those who refuse to go along with "the program", which will be fully implemented soon if we don't do something about it.

    Welcome to the New World Order.

    • Ed, I fully agree with your statement, The program is to start soon, if "WE THE PEOPLE" in this country don't remove, all of the Congress, the Usurper, and the Supreme Court judges, basically anybody who has  Democrat or progressive and/or communistic ties by any and all means necessary, including the exercising of the 2nd amendment to restore this Great Nation to what it once was before the Liberals and Communist starting ruining this great society. This will have to be taken all the way down to the State and Local governments too, since these people will be the up and coming new government. They need to be Vetted (their viewpoints and actions need to be "Conservative and God-fearing") all the way to the State Legislatures and beyond.

    • Ed,

      You are so right! It's comming and very very soon!

  • To long we have listened to the "educated" rather than to our own sense of right/wrong.  This is still being perpetrated upon on your youth in denying them the right of competition, recognition, and responsibility.  This school is only a small part of what is going on, not just in state run schools, but also small private alternative schools.  

    Why is it allowed to happen?  Because parents have believed the lie that the so called experts know what is best. These experts be they government officials (Obama) or social workers, or principals do not answer to the community or parents.

    Just my thoughts!!!

  • you will not find a judge that will release a water-boarding video of criminals / terrorists or even cleansing their stinkin' dead bodies with a bowl movement, but you will find a judge that will release videos of child torture, the former must be too "horrid" , so the latter is acceptable for public consumption to prevent the former... islam 101... msm is just a propaganda conduit, and has been ever since somebody got paid to gossip.

  • this video reminds me of the damn nazi experiments... we all know they had and endorsed them... so watching a skinning of mussolini, hussein and their likes is not unpleasant.

  • So, they sealed this video 8 years ago.... the timing of its coming out now and the race of the subjects involved are highly suspect in today's 'politicized' climate.  What we don't know about this video could probably fill volumes.  Was the boy ever disciplined at home?  Was he genetically disposed for violence, so that the judge and others believed that his behavior had to be altered - by more physical methods?  Yes, there is much more to this story that isn't shown in the video - nor is it being addressed in the accompanying article.  This form of behavior alteration would look more in place in a mental institution than in a school for troubled teens.  One thing is for certain --- the teen Andre knew not to take off his jacket - it would help brunt the impact of the shocks, after all  -- and he knew what was to come.  It's a pretty sure bet that Andre was not shocked simply because he refused to remove his coat. What else could they do?  Keep him drugged up 24/7?  Unfortunately, psychiatry isn't effective for everyone .... Wonder how much 'stress' he caused others with his unchecked, out-of-control aggression?  Such people can hurt, maim, or kill other people (even their caregivers).  We need more information before jumping to conclusions.  Conversely, wouldn't it be nice to be able to see him acting out his aggression at full-tilt, on video?  Then, we might have a clearer picture of what they were facing when trying to cope with Andre's behavior.  We should not rush to judgment until more is known about this case, if then.

    • Alfie, this kind of “behavior alteration” is a nazi “psychological” experiment, all for their own sadistic pleasures and none for the victim’s health. Children that misbehave (and perhaps are bullies, like Andre) could and should be separated from schools (constitutions) before it's too late and placed in places (institutions) where their stresses are reversed instead of amplified (through more pain without gain). Unless they are past the point of no return from violence without intelligent reason, they can learn through work and/or education geared toward being self respecting and productive to oneself and society, such as chain gangs for juveniles and/or being drilled by drill instructions (eg old army drill sergeants)… there is no pain in working (until one grows to demand that others do everything for them), its a way of productive and even pleasant exhaustion that keeps all of us healthy and even happy.
