Workers at Disabled Teen Facility Arrested for Staging Fights Among Kids

Breitbart: A pair of workers at a Pennsylvania facility for disabled teens were arrested and charged with staging boxing matches and fights between the kids, a report says.

Exton, Pennsylvania, police arrested Anthony Merrick, 25, and Rayne Portella, 24, for encouraging the teenagers in their charge to fight each other in a facility-wide fight club, WPVI ABC 6 reported.

Police were alerted to the situation after they were sent a video showing residents of the Devereux Kanner Center in West Whiteland Township in Chester County engaging in boxing matches.

  1. I’m not so sure this was a bad thing. If the kids who were involved had oodles of energy, boxing, as long as it’s done with good protective gear, is a real energy-burner.

    Now if the workers were taking bets and/or selling video recordings the fights, that’s a whole different kettle of fish.

  2. I just read a piece that was linked at BadBlue the other day; a doctor who was writing about his observations about disrespectful kids and young adults — it’s the worst he’s ever seen it. Ever. So, no, it’s not that “it’s just their age and they’ll grow out of it.” We are living through a very dark social time right now. And it is this epidemic of disrespect, I believe, that the clueless babies at universities across our country have left their safe space homes and families (who put up with their crap or actually set the example of it)and who then get hit with a big dose of reality when some of the saner peers object to their disrespectful behavior.

    One great big, national temper tantrum thrown by people with arrested development who refuse to grow the hell up and have zero sense of healthy shame. All they know of the world is that it’s there for their pleasure and damn the rest of us.
