--- Quote from: "UA mom" ---Tinktonk, looks like your still trying to find yourself and still want to blame. I know for a fact that this program scholorships many girl and their families. I also know that sometime parents have to take the girls out abruptly for a myriad of reasons. I'm so thankful that the program staff are keeping ALL of the girls there safe by removing those that are aggressive and disruptive. It's not any programs responsibility to make you change, only provide the opportunity to do so. The irony here is it appears you were one of those that had to leave, didn't want to be there, but want to blame the program and people for that. Where's the personal responsibility.

Uh, she's a kid? She's not supposed to have "personal responsibility"? You as a mother are supposed to have personal responsibility. You did such a piss-poor job raising your kid that she needed full time therapeutic care. Where’s your personal responsibility?
What’s with the parents and individuals involved with these places all being so crazy? This parent proves the need to keep an eye on this place.

I think UA mom is the one who is deluding herself. Again, there is LOTS of abnormal, violent behavior w/ girls throwing plates, setting fires. It just really involves who is "likable". Just wait until your child comes home. There will be a honeymoon stage and everything seems great and then 6 months or so pass and welcome back conflict. Just look at My Space or Facebook to see how well some of these success stories are doing.

Our daughter was 15-16 when she was there. Physically, it is a very nice facility. We felt that the school program was really a weakness, as basically it is just an on line curriculum with people there supervising. Our daughter had some extra needs that weren't addressed very well. Every thing is billed as "extra" if you request anything beyond the basic program. And for our daughter, she needed more than just an on line school program. The administration came across in quite a different way than what was truly accurate. We felt that the director emphasized that he took a personal interest in each girl and in reality, we did not see this. Our daughter actually graduated from this program. There was no follow up program at all, and when we asked for additional help for her, it was prohibitively expensive and impractical. I think that it is important to find a program that is a good fit for each girl, and this was not a great fit in our daughter's circumstance. Hope this is helpful.
