Another torture center got protested!

Since November, I've participated in 6 public protests against an abusive teen behavior modification facility outside Cincinnati.

But the practice of publicly picketing the teen torture racket isn't limited to just this area. In other areas, other folks have taken up the cause!

In northern Indiana, the town of Warsaw has been plagued since the 1970s by what's euphemistically described as an all-girls boarding school affiliated with a fundamentalist Baptist church. But it too is an abusive behavior modification center. The facility bases its program on the abusive practices of the late Lester Roloff.

One of the founders of this torture center has encouraged his followers to spank infants and leave bruises, and he has described administering a 2-hour-long spanking of one of his own children. Not surprisingly, the "school" founded by this sick fuck has been reported to use corporal punishment frequently. (They call the paddle the "Rod of God.") It's also been reported to withhold meals from detainees.

On Wednesday, several survivors of this facility demonstrated in front of the Kosciusko County Courthouse. One recounted that she was mercilessly beaten in 1996 on her very first day in the program. Other former detainees report being forced to eat their own vomit and wear diapers, and that every time they went to the bathroom it was posted on what they called the "B.M. board."

The center is not licensed or regulated by Indiana authorities, despite the fact that state law reportedly requires licensing of group homes. But this protest and the resulting media coverage may finally prompt an investigation.
