How are people okay with this sort of treatment of children? They're kept in cells and punished for acting out when their needs aren't being met. They're fucking children, you can't do this to them and expect them to turn out healthy. It's so sadistic and cruel and it makes me want to hurt the monsters running this facility.
If you haven't heard of it, you should look up the Elan School. It's thankfully shut down now, but I imagine there are still places just as bad.
North America is designed for sociopaths. We reward sociopaths. We punish weakness.
Some will be sadist abusers.
And otherwise much of Soviet don't think of any child or person with mental illness, or who did a crime, as still fully a person.
Ayut, Vermont gets away with a lot of bad shit because everyone thinks it's a utopia, especially Vermonters.

A lawsuit against the state was settled earlier this year for 7 of the kids, including Grace.
Fuck that. I wouldn't have settled if I was the parent. I'd want blood.
These people are told to take the settlement or keep proceedings going forever, in which case it eventually gets dismissed or worse. I don't blame them in the slightest for settling.
Neither do I.
But fuck the system for not throwing all those in power into jail for decades for what they did to those kids ... judges included.
A little bird got stuck in a barbed wire. She tries to get out, but metal rods pierce her, bleed her out. She's covered in blood, shit and piss, hurt herself to get attention. And an indifferent observer looks at her from a safe distance, through a small window in her cell. They discuss how it's traumatic to work there, how it's not good to their mental health to see that. As she flaps her ruined, broken wings, she loses her last breath, and they only wait to clean the room and seal another bird after her.
Poor girl, no wonder it broke her.
