This is called a Christian boarding school, but this post is about violence so bad that 4 workers are arrested. That makes it a general discussion topic because of the lack of human kindness.

Video captures Christian boarding school life coaches, program director assaulting boy

CAROLINE COUNTY, Va. — It’s shocking video of four boarding school workers assaulting a teen boy they were supposed to be helping — and their crimes were caught on camera.

The images were taken inside the cafeteria and sanctuary hall at Abundant Life Academy in Caroline County back in April.

The video shows a 14-year-old boy making a run for it, only to be snagged and then assaulted by three life coaches and a program director.

The four boarding school employees were arrested and charged with assault by mob and assault.

The investigation began after 4 teens escaped and "opened up to them with allegations of assault and abuse at the boarding school."

Good to hear that the authorities listened.

1. It's Christian Love™!

How many times do stories like these have to be replayed across the nation till people get it?

2. What a sham of a school, I hope it gets shutdown.

Charter schools seem to be only one step above home schooling imo.

3. The four attackers even look like thugs. No followers of Christ are they.

Very few reform schools are actually effective. Often times they do more harm than good.

That place needs to be permanently shuttered.

4. Looked up the denomination - they are a pentacostal organization so this does not surprise me.

5. OMG one attacker said they did no harm, had the best interests of the child in mind.

And I say baloney to that.

Soon after the state rested its case, defense attorney Cary Bowen notified Judge Gordon Willis that his client, Rivera, wanted to make a deal.

“The judge didn’t seem like he was on our side,” Rivera said after court. “I don’t feel like we are guilty because we had the child’s best interest at heart.”

He said he doesn’t have any hard feelings toward the teen and is still friends with many of the students he worked with.

Defense attorney Joseph Brown, who was representing the other three, requested a brief recess to discuss a possible deal for them as well, and they took it.

“They are all good men and I don’t think they ever meant to hurt the child,” he said. But as far as taking the deal, he said, “the devil you know is better than the one you don’t.”

He doesn't have any hard feelings toward the teen?? That is nervy.
