So this is Sunset Bay Academy, aka Seaside Academy, aka Oceanside Teen Center, aka Oceanside Academy. Perhaps also even Pacific Coast Academy.
"My son needs two classes to graduate which totals to 4 credits."[/list]

sunset bay academy will not release my son

To whom this may concern,
My name is Trenise Brown and I’m the mother of Aaron Brown. I need assistance with getting my son out of a boot camp called Sunset Bay Academy formally known as Seaside Academy, Pacific View Academy, and Oceanside Teen Center in Rosarito Mexico. His father, Tory Brown told me that this school was in San Ysidro, Calif. Once Aaron missed school I had agreed with his father that he attend this school. I faxed a letter to Sunset Bay Academy stating that I give permission to have my son attend their school.I received a call from my son on Wednesday morning Sept 16th that he had been awaken out of his sleep at 3am and drugged in a car and taken to Mexico. My son was frantically crying and begging me to get him out of here. I called his father and his father said yes the school is in Rosarito Mexico. I signed and faxed this letter under false pretenses. I had no idea and believed the school to be at 641 E San Ysidro Blvd PMB# 828 San Ysidro, CA 92173. The physical address of the school is CENTRO DE BIENESTAR FAMILIAR S DE RL DE CV CALLE TIJUANA #601, COLONIA MACHADO
CP. 22701, PLAYAS DE ROSARITO, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO.This school is part of an organization called WWASP, President Ken Kay, ran multiple academies for trouble teens mainly those in and out of jail and with severe troubling issues with the law and fighting authority not ones who recently decided to drop out of school. My son needs two classes to graduate which totals to 4 credits. These academies have been shutdown, all but one, Sunset Bay Academy recently named Oceanside in June 2009. This is not the first time the name was changed and claimed to have moved but all the pictures look like the same hotel. Previous teens have stated they can’t believe this facility is still open and there are many blogs speaking about WWASP and its Level 6 program. This facility is known to have stayed in the same location but continues to change their mailing address any makes their website look more welcoming each time. WWASP is located in Utah, US and has many academies located in the US that are more trusted than the ones ran in Mexico and Jamaica.
I called the facility may of times border line harassment to get information on what was going on with my son and wanting to speak with him. I was denied every time I called to speak with him. I spoke with Claudia Sanchez who is the Communication Director and she informed me that I could not speak or see or speak with my child. I then called and spoke with Lilly M. Dena and she sent me an email on Sept 16 with their facilities handbook, directions, and academy information. I have attached info to this email. They have a 3 month program where he can’t call or communicate until he works up to those privileges. I beg of you to assist me with finding out if my son is being tortured, harmed, sleeping, or eating properly. I do plan to go to this facility to pick up my son. I bought him and airline ticket for this pass Saturday and they stopped taking my calls and won’t let anyone get any information on him except for Tory Brown his father.

How was your husband able to get him across the border without a visa? it illegal for a parent to remove a minor who is a US citizen from the country without written consent of the other parent...you need a really good lawyer, preferably one who speaks Spanish...they are so corrupt down there you may be able to bribe a local cop to get him out. You may also have trouble getting him back into the country without a passport.

Doing a Search for "Oceanside Academy," I landed on the following MerchantCircle page. I knew I had the right place when I saw the prominent ad for West Ridge Academy! :D

Merchant Information
Oceanside is located just a little over 20 miles south of San Diego, California, near the seaport town of Rosarito, Mexico. The setting is beautiful, peaceful, and conducive to change. Oceanside is specifically designed to help teens replace inappropriate attitudes, behaviors, and habits while at the same time excel academically. Oceanside is ideally located as it offers the benefits of a foreign site, with easy access to the U.S. At Oceanside, students are enriched and effectively impacted by a unique cultural experience in Mexico’s warm, simple surroundings. Students learn Spanish, which further enhances the process of change.
The benefits of a foreign site are numerous. First, the students are put into an entirely new environment, away from the negative friends and influences that have adversely affected their lives. Second, the teens discover that they are in an unfamiliar culture. As a result, the teens tend to be much more teachable and open to change and direction. Third, a foreign experience helps broaden the teen’s insight, awareness and perspective. Fourth, a foreign setting is much more impacting and instills a greater appreciation for home and family. Fifth, not only do the teens get the help they need, but a valuable foreign experience that they will likely remember and appreciate the rest of their lives. Additionally, due to the greater value of the U.S. dollar in Mexico, Oceanside can provide its services at a significant reduction of cost to families. All of these reasons make Mexico an excellent option for teens needing to make changes in their lives.

Almost all the advice given in this thread is inaccurate. Don't let that stop you though! Someone needs to email this woman and bring her to the party.
