For the last few weeks I have spent days online in search of current information on New Beginnings Girls Academy in Pace, Florida. The last week of May friends of mine took their 16-year old daughter (who has Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder) there. I have found info about the Camerons in Texas and Faye not being allowed to be with juveniles there. I found the curtain rod story. I saw the newsletter from the GA church that included the missionary page with New Beginings. I have read about other faith-based schools, deaths, allegations, etc. I gave the parents some of the info that I had found and they were not pleased with me. They believe that their daughter is in a safe place.  I understand that William McNamara is the name most used for current parents who are desperate for help. Is there anything more recent than these pieces that I found? What is happening there now? :???:

Today I received a short hand printed letter from the girl who was taken to New Beginnings Girls Academy in Pace, FL, on Memorial Day weekend. I had mailed her a letter on Friday June 9 not knowing if she would be allowed to read it. Good news! Not only did she read it but she replied. This says to me that they aren't as strict as they once were. Maybe there have been some positive changes going on at New Beginnings? Does anybody really know?

I came back from that school a year ago. It is a horrible place. They abuse the girls and are under investigation right now. Plesdr do not consider sending anyone there.

This is what I've heard about that place.  They are now less strict in some areas because of previous lawsuits, but they are very careful about what they have the parents sign, so that no other lawsuits can come from it.  
I would not believe a letter she wrote, because, if it is like it was back when I was in the homes, they read your letters and will not let any negativity come out in them.  Also, what you should know about this place is that there is a degree of brainwashing.  I know that sounds almost far-fetched, but it's like they make you feel that if you are not utterly happy in that lifestyle, then there is something wrong with you and you aren't a good christian.  
Remember this is a young, impressionable girl.  The "abuse" is not so much physical as the realization that they messed with your head many years later.

Is this place affiliated with Mike Palmer?
