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’s been my experience that the people who need to be sent to these camps are the parents. Incompetent shit bags send their kids to places like this and other “reformatory” establishments. They throw their kids away and hope that some other place will fix them, but I’m sorry parents you’re fucked up. That’s the problem with your kids. YOU!

      All life matters, and starts at conception, but if my kid won’t conform to my assbackward world views they aren’t people anymore and I’ll just ship them off and tell the house wife it’s time to replace them so she better ready her babymaker!

      Pinnacle of family values!

      I agree 100%. Yes, there is the occasional nice lady down the street who mysteriously gives birth to Jeffrey Dahlmer, but when people are screwed up, it’s nearly always the fault of the parents.

    After losing the governorship in 2019, Bevin sent Noah away to a facility in Florida, and then last year to ALA. He did not respond to any of my emails. Nor do any of the other parents I contact.

    These people are absolutely fucked in the head. Everything and everyone is a pawn to be used and thrown away at their earliest convenience.

    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?
