They really cannot just walk out at 18 and you know it. They may have the legal right to, but the choice often is between the program and homelessness at 18. That is not really a choice.
On the second point, there are plenty of parents that simply are not competent to make the decision about matching program with child. This takes professional qualifications. The child could very well have an undiagnosed mental illness and neither the parents or program staff is qualified to make the diagnosis.
It is a common complaint about programs that qualified intake procedures and staff with mental health qualifications and experience are sadly lacking.

Whoever posted the comment about being a teacher recently at MBA, please get in contact with me. I recently ran away from MBA, made it to Prinville for three days, got found, but never returned again. Please get in touch with me, it would be great to talk to you. Thanks. My name's Nicole, and my e-mail address is programmed18@yahoo.ca

My son graduated from MBA. I know it was hard work. I know about mentoring and academics . I know about the restrictions. I know that is not magic but a lot of work from the kids, mentors, teachers and us the parents.
The unhappy former teacher, Nicole , the alumni who's struggling, one advice: move on with your life, take accountability for your part and let MBA do their job.
I know is not perfect but is far away from your implications. My son is the proof. Have a nice one!

It sounds like the teacher is just angry at the school. But I had a child in ASR which is the east coast version of MBA and everything she says is true. The size of the therapy groups are up to 20 or more. Kids do all of the cleaning. The staff is very disrespectful. There is drug abuse going on. Most of the kids are on challenges or self study. All of the kids feel abandoned by the parents because you are not allowed to talk to them for so long and everything that was told to the parents is not true. I'm sure not all experiences are bad but I would be very cautious about MBA and ASR. They scare me. At 6K to 7K a month parents and kids deserve better.

Wait, you've already sent your kid away to ASR and now you're looking for another one to send him to?
