An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

Good Afternoon All,

I found this forum while looking for information on specialty schools for my step-son Joe.  I have read many of the posts here and I am very truly sorry for what many of you have gone through in some of these places.  I am also a survivor of abuse, not from a school, from my own father, and I know what it is like to try to get on with your life when you don't always want to.  My question is this: have any of you heard of any schools that have been effective in educating teens who are emotionally fragile? My step son is a great person who has always had trouble in public school and has always managed to be in the middle of wherever trouble is.  I am not looking to put him in a place that will brainwash him, or lock him in a closet, or tell him that he cannot communicate with his family, I am trying to find a place that will help him unlock all of the amazing potential that we believe is inside of him.  

Your posts are not read lightly, and I have seen many that say that parents should just raise their children, or don't have them, and I tend to agree with that statement, but it is not always that simple.  

I hope some of you can maybe just share some insight as to whether or not you know of any quality schools that are not affiliated with the disgusting, misleading, abusive programs that you have mentioned on this board.

Thank you for taking the time to read this... Teri
