Australia has or had a reality TV series called "The World's Strictest Parents", wherein lovely parents send their delinquent children abroad to get some tough love. Because apparently aussies and kiwis feel like the US south has its poo poo together when it comes to families and education for some reason or other. It features lovely things like a young gay teen getting forcibly baptized by Southern Baptists, and those boot camp programs which do jack and poo poo. So if you like the novelty of trading lovely incompetent parents for passive aggressive hovering adults who are differently bad, this might be the show for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZ1SPpKyVd4

spacetoaster posted:Can you link that episode? That sounds crazy and totally goes against actual southern baptist doctrine. I'd like to see it. I'll try to find it. I haven't watched the show in years. It may not have been southern baptists, but they were definitely a protestant denomination. I just assumed since it had a southern baptist vibe. I'll link it when I find it.

My Q-Face posted:"For some reason" is there are plenty of fundies in Australia. In fact, we make it a point to import them from the other former colonies, like Australia and South Africa to the US. Dr. Ben Carson enjoys traveling to NZ and Australia to peddle his snake oil, too. The reason I stumbled on the "World's Strictest Parents" videos is because I was looking for links between the AFA (US) and New Zealand's Family First organization. That group has been waging a decade long battle against NZ's anti-smacking legislation. Which sounds adorable in a kiwi accent, but actually they want to remove barriers to parents and other adults beating the hell out of kids. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTRdhGhj0q8
