What a nightmare, a bunch of young people the system and society don’t trust, and a bunch of people with power over them and unlimited access.

It is a whole industry in Utah.

It’s also a religion.

Suffer the little children to come unto me
Seems like it's built right in

Change one letter in this sentence and it gets a lot more accurate to the situation

Another big industry here are sketchy and numerous rehab centers with little oversight. Something about Utah encourages them, everything from cheap land and money scams to religious conservatism with a foundational tenet to "save" people. That's not to say that some of these clinics have merit, a friend of mine swears by one and had a good experience with one.
There are many horror stories though, makes me sad.

Fuuuuck man, I wasn't expecting that one.
I still miss her.... (a chick that left me because I wouldn't join her cult)...

Oh, Utah has an entire "Jailing kids for fun and profit while calling it therapy," industry. Kids have died in those places. And since the LDS church approves of this treatment, nobody does a thing.

I figured you were referencing how the church treats young women as breed sows essentially. Making new members for the church, and having them pay for the privilege.

Oh, yeah, that too. The fuckery is deep down there.

Well it is certainly a side effect of pushing people to have as many kids as possible from a young age. No wonder the parents can't handle them as they get older.

My wife was sent to Cross Creek Academy in La Verkin 18 years ago. The stories she tells sound like a twisted version of a teen prison ran by predatory men with power addiction issues. She is still fighting demons.

And not one person who screams about librarians and drag shows will share this or condemn it.
