Treatment for anti-social behaviour : Send to Siberia
German authorities exasperated at the antisocial behaviour of a 16-year-old boy have sent him to a remote Siberian village for an "intensive educational experience", it emerged yesterday. The unusual measure by youth welfare officers in the central state of Hesse raised fresh questions about how to deal with delinquents who have been blamed for a series of ugly crimes.
The boy, who has not been identified, was dispatched east after behaving violently in school and at home and attacking his mother. He is being forced to fend for himself in boot camp-style conditions in the forlorn village of Sedelnikovo, several hours drive from the city of Omsk, in the western Siberian interior.
He has had to cope by collecting and chopping firewood to make his own fires, digging his own toilet and pumping water supplies from a well. He will stay there for nine months, separated from family and friends, the internet and television, under a programme designed specifically for him.

"Kids are way too spoilt these days, and the ones who can not appreciate how good they actually have it, need to be shown what life can be like.
I am all for it."
----> I second you ... xx
"Don't think that's right Novi, I've met some lovely people, but their kids are brats lol. Sometimes the behaviour of the child might be influenced by their peers (those of similar ages)"
----> You are not talking about mine are u??? ....................... just kidding !!! :D
It was like a punishment...but behind the scenes certain ppl were trying to find buried treasure, using these boys...the whole story turns out to be something else...but the method used seems to be same as the one used on the German boy

Reminds me of a book I read, "holes" by Louis Sachar in which bad boys were taken away to isolated places where they were made to dig a hole every day in the hot sun, to turn them into good boys

novita, I was initially brought up in a violent environment but I turned out to be a kid who was scared of everything...scared of facing meeting and talking to people...its just recently (after meeting the world out there as it is...after being exposed)that I gathered courage to talk out...I do still suffer consequences though, of being brought up in such a situation...such as wanting to submit to others...makes me more of a masochist. theres hope though. the fact that i understand my problem might help me overcome it.

but as far as i know ... kid's behaviour is reflection of the parents. If you brought up in a violent environment ... the kids would end up as a violent person. Only an opinion though ...
that seems to be the Western(enlightened) way of trying to find a solution isnt it?
Thats a bit extreme? Usually Juvenile deliquents have underlying issues that need to be dealt with within their own environment, they dont behave like that because they feel like it...They should be looking at what these issues are and dealing with them and not send the "problem" away. The living the tough life may teach the boy about hardships of some people lives, but what happens when he returns home?
Ahhh...I didn't know that "isolation" was a way of treating violent people.
