The war between adults and kids, episode 26: The Sanctioned Kidnapping

You've heard about the concentration camps for kids, where allegedly impossible teenagers undergo brainwashing and behavior modification at the behest of their own parents. Ever wonder how they get the kids there in the first place? Easy -- they pay to have their child kidnapped by a private "escort" company -- no, not that kind of escort.

The mother and father nodded, shifting in their seats. Boussard got a black overnight bag from a closet and handed it to Strawn, along with a check for $1,800. In return, Strawn asked him to sign a notarized power-of-attorney that authorized his company to take "any act or action" on the parents' behalf during the transport to Casa. The document also promised that the couple would not sue for any injuries caused by "reasonable restraint." Strawn warned them that he would take Louis away in handcuffs. ...

"Do you have some underwear on?" Louis's father said. "They're here to help us. They're here to take you to a school."

Louis shook his head to clear it.

"The only thing we want you to know is that we love you very much," Boussard continued. He and his wife stepped forward to hug Louis, but the gesture was forced and none of them seemed to want the contact.

"Where am I going? When am I coming home?"

Louis's parents walked out the door.
