So that works if it's possible to actually reach the person and the family agrees that they need help to get out. What if the family is part of the problem or is tricked? (I recently read https://elan.school/ about this unimaginably horrible Kids for Cash-like scheme/cult. The only thing I can think of to prevent such things would be to get parents, teachers, lawmakers and social workers to read those stories too.)


I'm at chapter 74, haven't wrote a single line of code since yesterday, and will probably have to work over the weekend to catch up :(


Dude you can't just drop a link like that without warning how deep the rabbit hole goes.

You posted this 5 hours ago. It's 2am here and I'm still reading from just a few minutes after you posted. This is a horrifying train wreck of a story, I can't look away. It's unbelievable these things went on for so long!


Ouf, yeah, maybe should have given more warning.. "Can't look away" indeed – I also got completely sucked into it after seeing a random link to it with no warning.


haven't bothered reading it all, but it's just plain awful… such coldness is highly disturbing
