My brother was a problem child, violent and uncontrollable. I get people look at these sort of programs and imagine themselves or their normal children being subjected to it. That likely does happen to some extent. And that makes people recoil in horror at it.

I agree, these programs shouldn't be judged by people who don't understand this is meant to fix abnormal, otherwise untreatable behavior, or haven't experienced it.

That said though, this program doesn't seem particularly effective. I'd like to see euthanasia on the table.
