OK so, yet another anecdotal account of one persons traumatic experience
14 July 2024
Illustrated by every deliberately misleading recreations that are designed to, attempt to, fool the viewer into believing it's real cctv footage or whatnot - SURE it's horrific and sure once the star power of Paris Hilton came out to denounce it, all these other kids seemed to become emboldened to tell thier tales - BUT WE GET IT - trust me WE DO! Noone is doubting that this was 'parent sanctioned abuse by proxy' but ya see THAT'S the rub - it's the parents that are ultimately responsible THE PARENTS - for either not doing enough due diligence in speaking personally to children that came before, children that weren't offered up by the institution that is earning billions annually - and many MANY of these parents left thier wards in the 'care' of these establishments for extended durations - like 18 months and whatnot - that should have been a clue - clearly these parents were selfishly enjoying the renewed freedoms of thier prior childless lives - basically these arnt really valid documentaries - in the sense that they're highly anecdotal and propped up by recreations that arnt even labeled as such - don't get me wrong, I feel for and empathize with the woman recounting her woes, but her returning to the scene and walking the campus leaking her feelings whilst we're shown an exam table with, and really grasp this, AN OLD TIMEY COTTON BALL JAR FILLED WITH MENACING RED AND WHITE CAPSULES - is pure hoakum! And should be dismissed as hoakum - not even in the actual wild west did physians keep an open jar of pills on thier exam table to willy nilly dispense during the treatment - and will all this new era half baked documentaries, one must be WARY of credibility once the filmmaker takes such obviously dramatic licenses - all I'm saying is to please understand this whenever you're watching ANY documentary - lest us never be duped again like with 'making of a murderer'
