Former Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin ® sent his son to a disciplinary school in Jamaica that was raided for abusing the teenagers, the Times of London reports.

Then he apparently failed to pick up his son, allowing him to become a ward of Jamaica.

    It should be illegal to send children away to abuse camps.

    Laws preventing this type of abuse are needed because conservative parents are not capable of empathy, which makes them terrible parents. They aren’t able to recognize that throwing a child into a torture gulag is bad, but they do recognize what is legal or illegal. We may not be able to force a conservative to be a good parent, but we can provide them with laws that can guide them away from obvious abuses like these.

    Conservatives have a difficult time understanding what is good or bad, so they often look to laws for guidance. If something is not expressly illegal, a conservative will think such behavior is acceptable. What is obvious to a normal person is simply not obvious to a conservative. Laws help guide conservatives away from child abuse. We need to demand such laws or this abuse will continue.

      If you noticed in the article, most of these schools are based on Utah. It combines two things that Mormons are very good at: abusing teenagers and making
      money in dubious/illegal ways.

      The state laws are lax, the child protective services and schools are underfunded, and culturally parents attempt to exert extreme control over their teenagers and barely adults.

      We should just make all our laws aimed at conservatives or maybe just kill all of them because they are the same. Remind you of anything?
