Wrong. Let's take a look at what ASR has to say on the matter.

Swift River fosters personal growth and healthy self-expression in adolescents, inspires academic excellence, and teaches individual responsibility and service to others.

No confusion there. Of course when the state did show up all the sudden things changed.

Apparently when children services came in and investigated ASR several years ago (and found a few violations while there) they wondered why ASR was acting like a RTC but wanting to be classified as a traditional boarding school. Interesting to note while there they made mention that the counselors could not restrict communication in any way without a court order. I guess they havent gotten around to implementing that change yet huh Cindy?

As HLA is finding out, you can "lean" 80* toward a boarding school, but if you are warehousing kids 24/7 and providing them mental health services, you are required to be licensed. Hopefully it's just a matter of time before the right group of people come together to make this happen at ASR.

This is why I say the right law needs to be looked at and compared to the school.  I don’t think this is the right law to compare.  ASR isn’t classified as a Mental health facility and the children are not classified as mentally ill.
I appreciate the effort of posting the law, but it doesn’t apply here, the same as it doesn’t apply to a local high school or college.

The classification of the school (as defined by the state) needs to be identified and then the correct law needs to be applied.

sick of child torture girl:
Do u know if ASR has any connection to destisto?
