If anyone has any information about this school in Utah, I would greatly appreciate it.  Thank you in advance...

My former husband is wanting to send our 16 year old son there.  I need real info, not website jargon...

As discussed in the other Discovery Academy thread, a boy was raped with a broom handle there. Here's more information about that particular facility.

Mel: It generally takes people a long time to understand the underlying philosophy behind these places, and you don't want any jargon, so I'll give it to you straight.

You do not, under any circumstances whatsoever, want your son in this facility or any other "behavior modification" facility, particularly in Utah. It is an absolute guarantee that he will be humiliated and made to think less of himself. The entire underlying structure of this place, particularly since it's in NATSAP (a network of abusive camps- perhaps Deborah or TSW can give you more information about that), is built around breaking wills and destroying hopes.

I strongly recommend that you direct his father to www.isaccorp.org , www.helpatanycost.com , or this forum. Despite your differences, he may be just as shocked as you are.

I'm also sending you a Private Message with additional contact information.

I'm very glad you've come to this board and I hope that your husband doesn't do something irrevocable that he might regret.

My son is in a rehab facility at present.  His counselors keep praising NATSAP.  The only places they recommend are from their website.  This industry, besides being unregulated, seems to pray upon those whose emotions are high and hopes are low.  The industry hopes to be a rainmaker, and yet is concerned with $$ and power...

mel0731:
Yes, if PSYBORGUE is out there, I would love to here from him.  As I mentioned in my prior missive, my former husband is believing, without question, everything that is being said in the rehab facility.  I question everything - not sure if that is just being curious or obnoxious.....At any rate, this information has been so very helpful.  My plan would be to utilize community resources and learn to be the best parent I can be to my son.  That plan has been met with limited, if no success, as you may well imagine.  

Where has common sense gone???
