456. Daarur Rasul Islamic boarding school
Christian Parents living at West Papua are living every day fearing that their children will be taken to boarding schools to become heathens.
If the children don’t break, they disappear and will most properly die at an unknown location so their parent cannot even visit their graves.
This is the same Indonesia who try to bring tourists into their country. Maybe that is the spot where they need to be hurt not visiting them before the central government stop this abuse.
It is safe to say that it cannot be fun to be there as a teenager.

The Tekakwitha Orphanage in Sisseton, South Dakota housed a number of children some decades ago.

It is safe to conclude that it could not have been fun to be there as a child.

451. Magnolia Hills Christian School
Around 2008 bad press pressured the so-called residential treatment facilities which worked together with the WWASP organization. Enrollment lowered at Carolina Springs Academy and after a fire the authorities made various demands, so the owners rebranded Carolina Springs Academy as Magnolia Hills Christian School. Now it was marketed as a Christian School.
However enrollment continued to be reduced and in the end the campus was closed down.
There were problems with animals on the property not being taken care off.
It could not have been fun to be there as a teenager.
