Some of these children are far too young to be in a place like this. They have FIVE year olds there. Wtf?

I am pretty stunned to be honest. It's so extreme

I've watched things like this before where the residents/inmates or whatever they're called are out of control teenagers, but I didn't know they actually took children to these kinds of places. I'm gobsmacked any parent would allow or want this.

How could the child forgive the parent? (Disclaimer: don't know what the kids have fine, have just turned it on and it seems extreme!)

Unless these children are all cooking meth in their parent's garages, then this is bonkers.
They look so YOUNG!
Bonkers.

In the intro it said these camps will take children as young as 5.

If parents treated their kids like this in this country I reckon SS would remove them for emotional neglect and abuse.

Spot on, Viva and rightly so. I've switched off.

Bloody hell! It's glorified kidnapping isn't it? Even though the parents have given consent it must be terrifying to be pulled out of the house and not know what's happening.

Surely the children will end up resenting their parents at the least, hating them at the worst? It's flaming barbaric.

Hasn't seen this thread just started another one!
It's unbelievable. I watched one a few years ago and it treated kids behaviour and emotions. This is just pure bullying.

At least Camp Consequence has the parents and kids together so it's not a case of the parents dumping and running. Still nuts though.

WTF with sending your child away for a year because he's gaming....
