So you seemed to have done your research about these programs and came up with a total of three you found acceptable for your son. I am curious, how many kids does Carlbrook hold? Based on what you are saying, all three schools could only absorb maybe a couple hundred kids. What would you tell the parents of the thousands of other kids who want to send their kid away, once those top three schools are filled... if that were the case, would you recommend a parent seek treatment for their child from a private, unregulated out of state TBS? What would you recommend to those parents in that case?
The reason I ask is because these are the questions that get posed to anti-program people all the time. I am sincerely curious as to how you perceive these questions and what type of advice you would give.
lets say a parent emails you and says their kid was using pot, stole a car with his friends but got away, recently got kicked out of school, and they are considering an aspen wilderness followed by a stay at midwest academy wwasp program... what kind of thing would you say to a parent , seeing as how you have been in a similar situation?
i have another question
you say if a kid ran away they just followed them.. did they do physical restraints, have an isolation room, restraints chemical or leather straps or anything. If not, what happened to a kid who would run away.. were they sent to the next worse level of program? what if your kid had kept pushing the system even harder, how far down wou you have taken it?
i am also curious as to the price of carlbrook. thanks in advance for your perspective.
