Havregaarden Kostskole is a boarding school used by the social services in Denmark. In 2020 a number of articles revealed conditions at the school which proved unacceptable and as result the authorities decided that the boarding school should closed.
There have been suicide attempts, sexual assaults among students, violence and illegal restraints at the school. The manager even dressed up as convicted submarine murderer Peter Madsen.
It could not have been fun to be at the school as a teenager.
