An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

I really hope you take my warning. There are girls that say that this house is the best thing for them but that is a lie.  I stayed here for 15 months and its not a great program at all this place is a youth prison, where you are constantly monitored and told what you can and cannot say. When a program starts restricting the visitation with children and their family. I had a visit with my dad and my dad had never liked the idea of this program and I had earned the level where I could go with my family and see them. And they made me go to the next door home where other girls slept and Daniel the owner came over and was completely fake with my father and they kept coming over to check on my dad and see what we were doing. My heart broke for some of the girls some were treated worse than others. There was alarms on every door and window and there was a staff who loved to give out essays. Also he loved to set off the alarms early in the morning and loved to wake the girls up this way. He would laugh and he would go around with essay papers in his hand and say all happily who wants essays. He got his jollies off on giving them out. It was horrible I absolutely hated him and his wife they both worked there. He would threaten to take the girls things that were left in other rooms and give them to his kids. I watched girls cry and be terribly sad and this place was like a horrible nightmare. I know a lot of girls tried to end their lives and also that girls drank cleaners. I even knew a girl who cut herself with a staple in the essay room. Daniel the owner had us go clean his house and do chores at his house and make them dinner. Obviously young girls seemed like good slave workers for him. Also he had the girls go out and start digging and moving cement blocks for his new boys facility building. I graduated High School early here and I went to get my diploma and none of it was legit. This place is a joke. The girls that were in severe trouble would talk to their families on the phone and they were not allowed to talk about what they were in trouble for or why they got certain essays. They monitored your letters and would cross out what they didnt like from letters from your family to you with a sharpee. When the girls got candy or treats the staff would eat a lot of it and they would give it to the staff and their families. In front of the parents they would put on a complete show and make it look like they were an absolute perfect program. When I first went here they made me strip down in front of the staff as procedure and not one of these staff members that were writing down things were nurses or doctors. They had male staff in the room as well and not to mention I was a minor. They made me eat food I was allergic to saying that I was manipulating and I had an allergic reaction and had to go to the doctors and have benadryl. Nomatter what anybody did they were manipulating and we didnt go outside all the time. All this among a lot of other things are a great reason NOT TO SEND YOUR DAUGHTER HERE. PLEASE DONT IT RUINED MY LIFE AND FOR THREE YEARS AFTER I HAD NIGHTMARES. I could say the best thing was out teacher at the time but finding out about what I did about our diplomas that was all a joke as well. I WOULD TELL YOU PLZ DONT
