Review of Kidnapped for Christ (2014) by Frances H — 12 Mar 2016

Why do people do things in the name of religion that would never be accepted if the same actions were done by a government? This school reminded me so much of the Soviet gulags and the kind of brainwashing techniques that were used in North Vietnamese prisoner of war camps If Christ could see what these people are doing in His name, he would be appalled.

Parents committing their teens to this "school" are just unfit parents who should have their sons and daughters given the protection of Child Social Services. That a girl given to panic attacks, who should have been getting competent psychological counseling, was sent here instead and is subjected to physical violence, is so damaging to the adult she will become.

That a gay young man, who is gay because of his genetic makeup (which was inherited from the screwed-up parents who sent him here, probably because they were embarrassed in front of their other "Christian" friends) is subjected to violence as well, is another Dark Ages travesty.

No wonder they have to have this school outside of the U.S., because if they had it here, they would all be arrested. They could only have such a place in a country where there are no human rights. Amnesty International, you are needed here.
