WOW this is real sick. I am a parent currently dealing with an out of control teen who was seriously think about send her here for treatment and after hearing all of this. I don’t think that she will be attending. For all this abuse and touture I can keep her home and do it myself. What is really going on this is crazy.

There is a settlement announced today involving the Rotenberg Center. A mother settled for $65K for the electrocution / torture of her son, called "aversive therapy" by the center.

It’s always nice to see facts pop up. While they can be pesky little annoyances – they generally aid in reasoned judgment and are a staple among the nearly extinct … sapient citizen. It does seem though that the Marie Antoinette version of logic prevails – after all, you gotta use or lose it.

The ludicrous and obviously self-serving reason the school used for destroying these tapes doesn’t even pass the “laugh” test. If I were the prosecutor looking into this matter, I’d still go after these school officials for destroying evidence in a criminal investigation. Even school officials, like the the CIA interrogators, know, it is a CRIME to torture people! Which is why they destroyed the tapes in the first place. It was done specifically to AVOID criminal prosecution. I think they should be prosecuted anyway.
