    Super cool how in America, parents paying strangers to kidnap and torture their own children is a multi-billion dollar industry

        Paris Hilton was sent to a camp for troubled teens which is basically a legalized torture industry. Also Brace was sent to one when he was a kid and became the first kid to escape it.

          Also a lot of the people Brace met at that camp are dead now apparently, either due to an OD or suicide. And him getting sent there lead him to his heroin addiction. Incredibly fucked up. His behavioural problems as a kid were relatively mild, not that worse behaviour justifies it, but this is the extreme length his parents went through just because he wasn’t the ideal child.
