Concern for a "student"
Shortbus:
Just curious why youd spend so much time getting information about where someone elses kid is. But would you send your kid somewhere that is run by "christian zealots"?
The site for the program is vague, the people who own it have no cred and the site doesnt even list a church affiliation. Give me a contact for the parents that sent their kid there - Ive got a bridge to sell them.
Truth Searcher:
I'm researching this facility because before I go to them with my concerns, I want to have something more concrete to offer than my "red flags". Seems reasonable doesn't it? I mean, if someone came to me with concerns about decisions I had made as a parent, I would hope they would come with more information than a "hunch". I would rather be guided by facts, not feelings. More dependable.
My research did turn up the church they affiliate with. So my next step is to call the church/pastor and get some feedback.
I don't know that being a Christian zealot is necessarily a bad thing. Lots of people I respect may have been considered Christian zealots. But, that's a whole other can of worms isn't it?

TruthSearcher- don't disclose anything on this forum. They just want to do some sleuthing and figure out who you are and then slam you. Check out the thread called Welcome to our Troll or something like that and the one called KareninDallas. They managed to post a phone number for a total stranger.

In your first post you said:
For unruly boys they shackle them to a pole "until they calm down". They "feed and water them" at the pole.
No therapist on staff. Therapy is an extra charge and requires a trip into town.
They are "home schooled". In other words, no certified teachers on the premises.
The night they arrived the boys were eating Tuna Helper. Cheap yes, but nutritious? NOT!
They spend their days baling hay and building more dorms for future students.
All this for the cost of $4200/month.

Assuming that you got that information from the parents, what would warrant concern in their eyes?
