This community should be called depressing Wikipedia…
All I see from here is sad shit. Someone dying from a “rebirthing” isn’t creepy; it’s idiotic and needlessly tragic.
Ah yes, 7 years for torturing a child to death. But don’t try avoiding taxes, folks!
I’m genuinely shocked and outraged they didn’t get life with no parole from this. Its sickening.
It’s all about intent… They didn’t intend for her to die. In their minds they were convinced they were helping her, no matter how screwed up their reasoning was.
Even if they didn’t intend to kill her, they must have realized that what they were doing was torture. Especially if its not just one fucked up therapist but a group of five adults participating. You can’t tell me none of them had the brains to not understand what they were doing.
Also whats up with Ponder saying “Go ahead. Die right now, for real. For real” when the child is repeatedly stating it can’t breathe.
Yup. It’s just tragic all the way around
Obviously it’s most tragic for the child who was abused in childhood, adopted by a mother who was taken in by hucksters, and then killed in this so-called medical procedure.
But it’s also tragic for the adults who were so screwed up that they thought this was helping the kid. I’m sure they will spend the rest of their lives filled with guilt, on top of the criminal sentencing, for a misguided but presumably good faith attempt to help a kid recover from a psychological condition.
Holy fuck that’s sad.
Huh, only recently learned about this through an eerie game letsplay called petscop.
There was a law & order episode about it.
