It sounds like we are talking of the same person. He has alot of good friends who would like to do anything they could for him. If we are speaking of the same person, hopefully when/if he gets out in June, he will know we will all be there for him and help him in whatever way necessary. At this time, all we can do is hope for the best. Trust me, I am not attacking you. I think you must be a very good friend. Maybe you could talk to his family, perhaps they would listen to you.

His name is Brandon. We are from florida. Are we talking about the same person? His family has read alot of the info on the web. After he was put in. Now they are confused. I feel sorry for them they have people yelling at them bringing up stuff in the past. They are only making it worse. They really are good parents not the type to just send him off so they dont have to deal with him. I am hoping if these people who were playing with his mind and now are attaching his parents would just let them alone so they can deal with there feeling. Maybe they will go get him. I have to admit it is hard on the brain reading all this with all the emotions I feel. I can only guess it is worse on the parents afraid to make any more rash desions.

No, I guess we are talking about two different people. The person I know went to many people for help and guidance, but they were unable to help him since his parents would not listen to him or talk to anyone. I'm sure this is a common story on here, since not very many kids go into this program voluntarily and there is alot of hard feelings between the parents and the kid and his friends. Good luck to your friend.

Are you talking about the kids Alex I read about in the spring creek lodge forum?

All I hear is how this place is bad. Can anyone give me some alternative places to send him for help. If I had something like that to take back to his parents maybe that would help. Other then let him find his own way to make mistakes and learn on his own. This wouldn't be an option. His parents are really trying to give him the best skills to succeed in life. I need an alternative place where he can get help that isn't abusive like you say this place is.

There must be some local facilities in Florida that can help your friend. Why was he sent to SCL - what was he doing wrong? If it was for drugs, there are many outpatient treatment centers for kids that DO help. That is the problem my friend had, he was never given the chance to try intensive outpatient therapy. Unfortunately, if he doesn't want help, anything you do for him is not going to work. He will have to learn from his mistakes. Most of the time they do learn, sometimes it just takes a little longer than others! Most parents just don't understand that.
