Similar thing happened to me and 3 others my age and or older then me with a year, i was way younger, like 10yo, it had nothing to do with art, it was an internal school that emerged with another school abroad my country, i still remember the director of my school was the one giving our names to em, my parents wanted to send me, since they were told that its a school for smart kids and it provided lots of advantages such as good teachers, training... etc, and it was all for free, but at the last minute my mom declined the offer, cuz when she though more about it she found the whole thing suspicious asf, also around the same age i was an almost r*pe victim by one of my teachers. Im a grown ass woman now and ibstill think about thiss, what if alot of them had had the same shit going, im also glad that my mom declined it, but still others were gone, no one knows what happens inside such "schools" mk ultra, r*pe, they're basically using kids and making em like weapons ...
