Facility Question and Answers / Re: Discovery Academy - Provo, UT
« on: February 12, 2008, 02:51:08 AM »
Hello everybody.  I am new here.  I am 27, married, and live in Salt Lake City.  10 days ago my Mom had my 17 year old brother taken into Discovery Academy.  Well, yesterday he and another boy escaped.  I guess the administrator's office door was broken by a different boy, so my brother went in the office, shut the broken door behind him, and walked right out the door in the office to the outside world.  He made his way to my house, and told me of all the REAL things that go on there: mold in the kitchen areas and prep areas, uncooked meat served and when the kids get sick they say its the flu going around, out of the 6 boys in his sleeping room 2 have bronchitis and 1 has nemonia and they refuse to take them to the doctor or give them any medicine, the staff calls all the boys "Homo" or "Fag" regularly, they refuse to let my brother read the Bible, the other boy who broke out with my brother broke his arm at an activity in there and they did take him to the doctor but 2 weeks later when his hand was blue because the cast was restricting the blood they refused to take him back and he ended up having to bash the cast against the fireplace stones to break the cast off for relief.

My brother is now back at D.A., and I'm freaking out because even though I sent my Mom links to this forum and links about lawsuits and complaints, she refuses to accept the truth, and becomes more brainwashed by the minute as to how good D.A. is.

I just need some relief.  There is absolutely NOTHING I can do, as my Mom is parent/guardian, and she refuses to hear/see the truth of D.A.  I don't know what to do, and am sick worrying about my brother's safety and well-being.  What can I do to get him out?  I showed up to D.A. today, unannounced, to tour the place to try to verify anything of what my brother described.  However, they of course denied me to see any of the facilities.  I'm worried as ever, if any one knows anything I can do, or has some comfort they can impart, it's MUCH needed and appreciated!!!
