re: #77 WindHorse

It is sad to think that this sort of behavior exists at any level…. but to somehow try and justify this (Donohue, not you) as far as children are concerned is beyond evil…. imho…

It is evil. I know longer know what “beyond evil” means. But let it go.

What I’m interested in is the extent to which things which are classed as abuse in this report are tolerated or accepted or done in our name to juvenile offenders in our secular detention facilities. At what point do we just not look anymore because we “know” that the juveniles involved are “incorrigible” or, to use an older term, miscreants*?

*interesting word history: ORIGIN Middle English (as an adjective in the sense [disbelieving] ): from Old French mescreant, present participle of mescreire ‘disbelieve,’ from mes- ‘mis-’ + creire ‘believe’ (from Latin credere).
