A state report identifies multiple failures by staff members of a group home that allowed two emotionally disturbed teenagers to be given dozens of electrical shocks at the direction of a caller posing as a supervisor.

This is utterly barbaric that we still use electric shock for punishment or "therapy". Electric shocks are banned by the Geneva Conventions. Why are we using this on the most vulnerable of citizens? Why?

How can electrocuting someone over and over bring back someone's sanity? It makes as much sense as trying to beat someone until they aren't violent anymore.....

The picture looks like its the cozy suburban Christmas home filled with warmth and love, this is juxtaposed with the story about torture in our own country.
Perhaps it is the dark humor he appreciates...
