--- Quote from: "Eric M. - American Canyon, CA - 4/8/2010" ---I am on the fence with this one right now. My ex-wife and parents wanted to send our son to DRA. I was not 100% on board. As, time went on I have seen a change in our son, during the parent calls he never says anything bad about DRA and seems to be improving. At first he was very rebellious about being there, then changed his whole attitude. Well he just went back after a home visit. Seems he is afraid to say anything bad about DRA so as not to be 'Owned' That is taken down physically by staff. Also, seems he has learned to accept and go along with the program after realizing it was the only real way to fight and get out of there. Resisting and they fail your weeks and you stay there longer, go along even through the motions and you get to go home sooner. All the Mentors who are students tell the new arrivals just go along with it, it is the way out. He actually seems a bit scared to go back. He has 6 weeks to go, yet got in a lot of trouble when he went back for not having the same shoes on when he left. The shoes he was wearing were wore out with holes in them so he got a new pair while at home. Really questioning finishing or not. What else is he not supossed to tell us? all calls and letters are monitored.

The first months back he was a new person. I got the feeling he was afraid to not be. Now he has settled in. He has relasped a bit here and there. Not sure if this was the best thing for him or not. Next time I think we will save the boat load of cash and instead send him off to some cult in the desert to be brainwashed... oh wait maybe that is what happened...

Paris Jackson, Michael Jacksons daughter to be enrolled in Diamond Ranch Academy. Said they did not feel she was "ready to go home" ... i have heard that one before!

Oscar:
I have mentioned this in another thread. It is time for a lot of blogs to put Diamond Ranch Academy into the spotlight. I don't know if it helped Victoria, but why not give it another try? At some point the outside pressure will be too much,

Also - where is the new campus? It is located next to "Sand Hollow Road" in Hurricane according to documents, but I cannot find it on Google Maps, Bing Maps or any other map.
