My understanding is he turns 18 and will be leaving on his own in June. I wish you people would understand I didn't put him there nor can I get him out. I am just trying to learn all I can so I can be there for him when he gets out. Instead of being mad/mean please try to help. What do you think you needed or didn't get from friends or loved ones when you got out? "

Well, maybe you should try talking to the people who did put him there and help them to understand how important it is to get him out. Maybe you could help them to understand by showing them some of the sites posted previously.

If you want to know what it's like to be sent when you are 17.5 and looking forward to turning 18, read this BLOG:

It's a great first-person detailed account of SCL life, and what happens once you turn 18.
It's not as simple as just leaving at 18, although it might seem like that now.

Understanding, love, and forgiveness. Instead, I came home to a family I didn't know, who had been taken in by a program. I left within a week.

Then where did you come up with this?

It is not up to the people who were wronged to prove anything to anybody. We spend our time here telling people because we want to prevent more abuse, I have no other motive.
I just showed you over 1,000 people who belong to groups specifically anti-program, and anti-wwasp. Show me a group of people anywhere near that size of pro-program graduates/alumni or parents. None exist. Zero.
I'd say it appears the school is not helping anybody, other than the people making millions of dollars per year off it.
--- Quote ---See this is what I mean you sound like an angry person who may have went through a program and maybe you were more rebellious then most and couldn't brake from that.

I sound mean? You obviously haven't encountered a program person yet. Not sure what the rest of that sentence means, and honestly I don't care. It's up to you to do the right thing, not I - you are being presented with information, it's your choice what to do with that information.

I am just looking for answers. I am not the one who put him there I can't get him out. But I would like to know as much as I can to be here for him when he returns in June. It is hard to know who to believe. like you say people that work there post stuff here to make the school sound good how am I to know that the same kids aren't reposting as different people so the numbers look bigger.

You should take everything posted on this board with a grain of salt, we could all the same person. Again, go to myspace and talk to the hundreds of kids there who have profiles and pictures, and maybe that will alleviate your doubts. Maybe not, again, that's up to you.
How do you know for sure he is coming home in June? Does he turn 18 in June? If you want more detailed information, you can't be so vague with your posts. Are you his parent, sibling, friend or what?
