I lived there for 3 years. I am beside myself that programs like these are still running. I went to the movie store last week and I rented boot camp, I found myself flooded with memories, hurt, and emotions that I had tried for years to put behind me. I am a survivor, my heart goes out to everyone who has been through these " at risk youth programs, for troubled teens" and anyone taken from there homes in the middle of the night and not told where they are going, or how long they will be gone. My heart aches for the teen who what nothing more than to go home.
Things I have learned this week...
Gulags
Synanon-CEDU is named after the founder!!! Scary huh
Cafety.org
Teen need to know their rights
