Students at a controversial school for troubled boys were made to roll around in camel waste to 'build character,' outraged parents have told DailyMail.com.
Agapé Boarding School for Boys in Stockton, Missouri, is currently facing 19 lawsuits alleging torture, starvation, as well as sexual, emotional, and physical abuse.
Five new lawsuits were filed in the state last week by former students from California, Texas, Florida, and Mississippi, who attended the school from 2014 until now.
The students accuse Agapé Boarding School and the Agapé Church of negligence, battery by staff and fellow students, torture and starvation, according to legal documents obtained by DailyMail.com.
Mom Nicole Fernandez, who is among the plaintiffs launching legal action, revealed her then 14-year-old son contracted pink eye from a revolting exercise that involved students rolling around in animal poop.
'The animals were suppose to be for emotional healing and support,' Fernandez told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview.
'That was the main reason I sent my son to Agapé Boarding School. They were all about the animals. They promised that the animals would help Corey with the grieving process and they knew we came from a farm.
'They used this to con me into sending my son there, which ended up being the worst mistake of my life.'
Fernandez, who is from Northern California, only wanted what was best for her son Corey who was spiraling out of control after the sudden death of his father.
The widow was desperate to save her son with special needs before he ended up in jail or dead. With the recommendation of a broker, who actually turned out to be a recruiter from Agapé, she decided to enroll her fragile teen into the all boys school in February 2019.

Christian”
I would have to be shown video and pictures to believe it. I have been around dozens of these kind of facilities and they DO NOT do anything of the sort.
They are watched over by all of the funding churches, have pastors visiting them year around, and have very specific rules and regulations from local officials to follow.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Here is a video of a staff member at Agape Boarding School kicking & dragging a young boy, any questions?
Wow, one incident of a youth being manhandled by a man. No context, no other information.
Hang him and kill the school.
(By the way, how do you usually respond to the stories of the ‘youths’ committing crimes? Any statements that they needed a father around the house to get them to act right? Just wondering what your level of discipline tends to be?)
There was a facility for youth that was shut down in the 90s
in Utah because it was treating teenagers terribly. It was not a religious organization but simply run by shrinks. Kids were forced to sleep on mats on the concrete floor for example.
One Utah school district had a “time out” box where they put uncooperative special needs students. It was a booth without any way to see out. Such boxes were used in SARs training.
The Utah DFCS was put in Federal receivership because of all the children whi died in foster care. I could go on for pages but its the shrinks and behavioral specialists you have to watch.
I know these things because I was involved in shutting these things down.
I didn't know they taught CRT at Christian schools.
well then there is this:

There are thousands of these schools still out there, religious and secular. Just because they say they are “Christian” does not mean they walk on water. Parents should remember the old saying “let the buyer beware”.
Okay, mea culpa, mea culpa.
But I have seen lots of stories about people being charged with all sorts of crimes, even sex based crimes, and the charges being dropped when the actual evidence came forth. There are always people, with friends, who can make a splash in the media with lurid stories and epic charges.

This school has a bad history and needs shut down. Come on man if this was a girls’ school and they got sexually abused by the schools’ doctor it would be history but because it’s a boys’ school it’s still up and running? Why do we treat boys who are sex abuse victims differently?
That David Smock MD was a missouri Micheal Jackson, look up his backstory IT’S CREEPY. A giant home he called “Cinderella’s Castle” I shit you not!
I’m not attacking Christians here I’m attacking pedos who masquarade as Christians.
They are suing the school? All that sounds just like a regular day back at the family farm when I was a kid.
Sheesh.
Soft retards.
The kid is autistic with other special needs, who had just lost his father. He was going there for “therapy”. He was suppose to be around the animals to help him heal not rolling animal shit.
Yeah, and I used to walk to school barefoot in the winter...
the Ozarks are filled with perversity
No, thats not whats happening in this video. He was told to run a few laps and refused. The coach helped him out.
You need to go to US MArine Boot Camp. If they did things there “your way” we would have the biggest pu$$y military in the world.
They pay for discipline and suddenly they do not want it, its a travesty, horrid! Christian!
I bet they have a high success rate at turning behaviourally challenged youth around.Thats why the parents pay to send their misbehaving kids there.
Education is not all liberal. Some of it requires discipline. And many of us old farts grew up in schools that
meted out corporal punishment for breaking important school rules. As a result the kids who came through were smart, tough, confident and brave. And the school was orderly.
So now the left wants to close schools that do not subscribe to the lioberal education model becaise parents no longer have a say over what they want their kids educated? Only the state is suitable to act in thebest interests of children. Christian parents and ther schools are abusive, and lacj a Drag Queen session every day.
Buahahahahahahaha!
IMHO every teenager should attend a course for a whole semester modeled after US Marine Boot Camp.

‘They used this to con me into sending my son there, which ended up being the worst mistake of my life.’
Fernandez, who is from Northern California, only wanted what was best for her son Corey who was spiraling out of control after the sudden death of his father.
The widow was desperate to save her son with special needs before he ended up in jail or dead. With the recommendation of a broker, who actually turned out to be a recruiter from Agapé, she decided to enroll her fragile teen into the all boys school in February 2019.
‘It looked like the perfect school with lots of nature and animals to help the students emotionally. I was told they they had worked with lots of kids like my son and were well equipped to handle those with special needs,’ she said.
‘My son was on the spectrum and been diagnosed with Tourette syndrome, Asperger syndrome, anxiety disorder, and of course, was grieving the loss of his father.’
But after just four months at the school, Fernandez said, Corey had lost so much weight that when she saw him for the first time during a visit, she couldn’t believe her eyes.
‘My son was standing in front of me and I didn’t recognize him. He looked emaciated, his head was shaved. He was wearing an oversized dirty orange sweater and used rain boots that were about size 13 when he was a size 8 or 9,’ she said.
‘He went in weighing about 185lbs and when I saw him he had dropped nearly 50lbs. He looked like a prisoner. It broke my heart.
‘I should have taken him out immediately, but the school was so convincing and kept drilling into my head that this was what was best for him, when in fact it ended up being the worst mistake of my life.’
It was only after Fernandez took her son out of Agapé in October 2019, did she come to realize the actual torment and abuse her son endured for nearly eight months.
‘I remember him telling me, like it was normal, how he and other kids had been dragged out of bed at night in the Ozark winter and forced to roll around in camel muck.
‘He said: ‘That’s where I got pink eye.’ He was told that it builds character.’
‘As a form of punishment, kids were fed special food, a soggy tortilla on a wet cookie tray with a smeared, moldy refried beans and they had to eat two of them,’ Fernandez explained.
‘If they threw up, they still had to eat it and if they didn’t then that’s what they had to eat for dinner. They were really, really abusing these kids.’
Fernandez said the so-called animal therapy never happened. In fact, the only animals they were allowed to interact with were the horses and a young German Shepherd who was later shot and killed for misbehaving.
‘Who does that, let alone tells the children?’ Fernandez asked. ‘My son told me how the dog used to always accompany its owner, a staff member, on the back of his four-wheeler.
‘When the kids asked where the dog was, the staffer said he shot him. The kids thought he was joking, but it turned out to be true. The staffer shot and killed the dog because it wouldn’t obey him and couldn’t be trained.’”
Did you walk to school up hill both ways?
A little shit hardly ever hurt anyone. All he had to do is settle down and do what the teachers were asking him o do.
I guess he just couldn;;t accept discipline and now the school is bineg sued. I can guarantee that both parent and child signed a consent document to abide by school rules and regulations/
