Treatment Abuse, Behavior Modification, Thought Reform > Hyde Schools
PLEASE HELP!!! Should I send my son to Hyde???
molly:
I greatly appreciate everyone's response. It looks like Hyde-Woodstock is a nefarious place and, hence, my family will no longer pursue it as an option. I'm wondering if anyone knows if Hyde-Bath (the school with which my son's therapist has familiarity) is of the same dark ilk? Should I consider that branch of Hyde or stike Hyde in its entirety from consideration?
Since I never knew until yesterday that the "troubled teen industry" existed, the question that follows might seem quite naive. Still, I hope that anyone reading this will bear with me because it will involve revealing far more information than I had hoped to reveal and because I am seeking the solution that might best benefit my son and our family. What I chose not to post is that my son is on his last option in our community in terms of day schooling. He is extremely bright but he does not do his homework or study. He had been violent with both my husband and me up until a few months ago. Some days he has friends, some days he does not. He appears to be addicted to the internet. He has ADHD which has been described as severe. I believe that my son does have a conscience and, occasionally, he allows me to get close to him. I love him deeply. His therapist and the schools he has attended say that he needs more structure than we are capable of providing him at home. While I do not want to send him away, I am sadly considering that this might be his best option. Now for my question: should it be the case that he gets kicked out of the school he is now in, where might I send him that is healing and that would befit a sensitive but lost kid?
I greatly appreciate everyone's help.

I forgot to add that my son is artistically gifted. Also, sorry about all of the misspellings and grammatical errors in my previous post. It is hard to read what I'm typing through tears.

Why do you have to send your son away at all? Don't you think he's gonna' hate you for that? He's your son. If you put him in someone elses hands,you do him no good. It doesn't matter what program you choose. Or can't you read?
If he's that gifted, then send him to an art scool. There are no positive testimonials of any treatment programs here. If you can aford to send him away, then it sounds like money is not an issue here. Use it wisely and find another option.

ps. for Molly
You need to read the Wayne Kerncohan book.

The Hyde programs are ALL the same. Screw programs. Seriously. Be creative. And dump your dumb ass therapist who thinks warehousing is the answer. Build on his strengths. Maybe find an ADD counselor who specializes in helping him build tools/strategies. Don't treat him like a problem. Lead with love and not with fear.
