Tamed by the Institute,My Family Kneels—Be Normal

At fifteen, straight-A student Zora was sent to a behavioral correction center by her parents, Malcolm and Camille, solely to frighten her younger brother, Isaiah, into behaving after he repeatedly skipped school and dated too young. For three years, she endured beatings, confinement, and sexual assault. When she finally returned home covered in scars, her father locked her in a storage room, driving her to attempt suicide in despair. After the truth came to light, Malcolm and Camille spent the rest of their lives consumed by remorse, while Isaiah suffered a complete psychological breakdown under the crushing weight of guilt.
