So a teacher got 27 years, what about the people who owned and operated this disgusting enterprise?

Look up "boarding school abuse" and the country of your choice. Europe just likes to rape children. Canada and America have mass graves. The world is unsafe for children.

The Catholic boarding schools in Ireland had mass rape and mass graves.

But the US and Canada had both as well. Coincidentally, also run by religious bigots.

I forget the name of the movie, but I do recall a swedish movie that was little more than a horror movie about a kid at a boarding school. I wish I remembered which one it was.

Edit: Found it. More focused on the bully culture issues with such schools. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338309

The first time I read through it, I couldn't stop until the end, and that's when I realised I had spent most of a night reading what still is one of the most horrible things I've ever read.

Same. I nearly got sent to one of these when I was 14. Dodged a bullet

Fckin awful. And why did they get off with it? Yes, because they're rich.

Public hangings. Maybe Gilead did a few things right

A survivor of the hellish Family Foundation School claimed in court papers he was repeatedly sexually abused and described stunning mistreatment at the now-defunct, $80,000-a-year facility in the tiny upstate village of Hancock, about an hour east of Binghamton.

It's interesting to me that the "school's" acronym is FFS (better known as For Fucks Sake).
