Title: Program Parents, Do You Really Know Where Your Child is Slee

What this poor mom went through trying to get information about her son, nevermind trying to actually talk to him, is unbelievable.

Read the court memorandum and the next time some program official tells you (the parent) you can't talk to your own child, for whatever reason, tell them that is unacceptable and you will either talk to your child or make arrangements for them to leave the program on the next flight out.

Also, it seems to me the key issue here is parents signing contracts agreeing to ARBITRATION vs. bringing a civil lawsuit.  

Is this a standard clause in contracts for these kinds of programs????

And what about the educational consultant mentioned in the court memo? Anybody know the status of the allegations raised against her?
