The law is hosed up in a lot of ways but I can't imagine these organizations could have total carte Blanche on a person's life because they chose a different option for court ordered rehab

Although the background and outcome of the case and the family being barred from suing is absolutely atrocious, this guy wasn't FORCED to go to this place. He was given the option as an alternative to jail time. It's still hosed up to me that your only other option would be a religious group that can make you suit their doctrinal purposes in any way they want but let's not exaggerate what actually happened in a case that's already gross enough as is.

RaySmuckles posted:This. People are given the "choice" but I think we can agree there's a touch of coercion sandwiched in there Yeah definitely, absolutely no one is going to choose jail time over weird religious rehab even if it's fundamentally against your beliefs. And it's still a terrible thing but it's not something a court can directly sentence you to like a lot of people in this thread seem to think or be implying. It's a whole different type of problem altogether.
