    Who tf sends their kid with tourettes to some bullshit Jamaican Christian school? Authorities should go after the parents too.

      Never mind that, I guarantee you that the “defiant behavior” was being attracted to other boys.

        Oh definitely a possibility, and I’m not sure how much you know about Jamaican culture, but they are not exactly fond of gay folks down there, some of their stances on homosexuality tend to be similar to Uganda’s stances on homosexuality. One of Jamaica’s most internationally recognized dancehall reggae artists, Beanie Man, was banned from entering the UK under hate crime laws because of his words, lyrics, and deeds towards gays, he’s since apologized in 2010, but still, not a good place to be gay.

      Dumb shit Christians who think their kid is possessed. There are far too many people that not only believe that Satan exists but also think Satan has an active presence on earth. Many of these people would be better off going to therapy to fix their mental health issues rather than a church.

    This reminds me of this excellent online comic I recently read that details the abuse suffered at one of these “troubled teen” camps in Maine.

    Sounds like the weird MLM-y, Mormon-y, Cult-y assholes from the “The Program,” the recent Netflix doc.
