In case you haven\'t heard, a movement is once again growing, and this fight has been going on behind the scenes for decades. There is a school in Massachusetts that has been using a device to routinely and systematically administer electric shocks to it\'s residents. Not many people know about it, and even those in our field that do know often turn a blind eye to the abuses that have occurred in the name of treatment. We admit our own ignorance and complacency in the past. But now we know and we share with you all.  How did this become a thing and how is continuing to occur? Well, we feel there is some definite cult-like roots and good old boy networking at the core.
