“Why doesn’t my kid talk to me anymore?”
'Anti Internet' 'One shower a week' In the west we would call that a contradiction.
Imagine the amount of betrayal feeling the kid felt. Betrayal from your loved parents is hardest thing to bring in life, and very hard to forgive.
Traditional parents who typically call their children rebellious almost always view their children as a robot with a flaw, rather than as a human being.
imagine being taken away from your escape from reality, and instead of being put into reality youre put into a torture camp where reality is used against you, and then youre expected to somehow NOT want to escape reality anymore. shits crazy
Crazy how suicide has to be censored but murder doesn’t
Born and raised in China. Fun fact: These concentration camps still exist in the disguise of "Traditional Chinese Schools". And yes, about 60% of the elder generation that I know still thinks that the Internet ruins their kids' future. I'm currently 18 and got admitted by a T10 school in US for undergrad. When my dad shared that news to my relatives, their common reaction was, "WHAT? HOW! HE PLAYS VIDEO GAMES SO OFTEN! HE SHOULD SUCK AT STUDYING! I THOUGHT HE COULDN'T EVEN GET INTO A COLLEGE! " .......bruh. I don't know whether I should be angry or sad about their statements. It just feels like all of my grind, sweat and tears are being written off only because I play Counter Strike and Valorant, and I can't even get mad about it since I have to "respect the elderly". People just have the tendency to believe that once you play video games, you will be a failure.
As a Chinese, I really don’t understand why many parents think that success must be linked to suffering, so they create suffering even if there is no suffering, and the more suffering there is, the better the outcome will be. However, they never think about whether suffering is really linked to success and maturity.
After treatment like this, your child is no longer your "child." You've turned them into a robot.
I can't even blame the kid who let his mother starve to death after being sent to one of those camps. How could someone ever trust their parents again after such a breach of trust?
I was wondering what type of torture methods the doctor was using in room 13. Electoshock therapy definitely caught me off guard. Then to hear that it was done for minutes with no anesthesia really got me. Those poor kids that had to go through that. Electroshock therapy can be known to leave the patient with serious side effects in some cases. One of the side effects is memory loss, which is kinda ironic. You worry about your kid spending too much time on the computer and not studying. To then send him to a juvenile detention center (what they really are) where they can end up with brain damage, which could permanently affect their learning and memory. Fear really makes you do illogical things.
When I was 12 and it was summer break, one of my friend's mom suggested me to train in one of those "Camps" because I plays a lot of games back then. I remember that my parents firmly disagreed with the deal, and eventually friend's mom gave up. After the summer break, I saw my friend a lot less, and he talked a lot less. I still doesn't know what happened to him during his stay at that place, but he changed so much and left my friend group.
Your parents send you to military school because you want to drum instead of be a doctor? Jesus christ
Making a whole videogame to explain the horrible experience young people suffered just because they played videogames is so great
It is worth mentioning that this kind of facility is in completely different states in different regions of China. I live in Beijing, and none of my classmates have ever experienced this kind of thing. However, in less developed cities, you can even see advertisements and advertisements for "Internet addiction treatment agencies" on the streets. In addition, this video has been translated and uploaded to Chinese video websites, and the comments on both sides are surprisingly consistent this time🤣
The fact a family can send their 30+ year old family member there is insane
I know somebody who was sent to one of those troubled youth camps here in the US. Place called Diamond Ranch Academy, they were tossed into simulated homelessness and forced to sit in the grueling desert sun with no water. They suffered many atrocities all the while their website showed green pastures, horse riding and more. When their parents came to visit they were mortified and thankfully pulled them out despite the camp pushing against it. Many people who were sent there wound up commiting suicide later in life and the Ranch itself has recently shut down after several kids have died due to neglect/abuse. There are many more places like that in the US however and they are truly some of the most vile and disgusting places on the planet! Torturing and absuing troubled youth in need of help for profit. does it get any more deplorable than that.
I'm a Chinese kid who was put in a place like this when I was 10. After I was allowed to leave, I had trouble adapting back to society for YEARS. Then, everyone in the outside world, (who never experienced trauma) saw that I behaved autistic and bullied the crap out of me... There is no sympathy in this cruel world.
My heart hurts for all the children who got wronged by their parents. Sending lots of love and know that you deserved better. Thank you fern for bringing attention to this
