parents, if you have a kid enrolled at ANY CEDU school, you should get them out of there as soon as you can!  i just graduated from BCA in may 2003, and if you have any questions about the abuse that goes on there or if you just need the truth about the places, you can call me.  my name is Lizzie, and my phone number is 301-676-2805.  or you can e-mail me at ecmay84@yahoo.com  [ This Message was edited by: **PIXIE DUST** on 2004-10-09 11:07 ]

Keep it real Pixie. You are doing the right thing.
Parents, do not send your children to CEDU. You will probably never forgive yourself. You will probably not help the world or your child. You will probably cause more harm than do good. Search for other alternatives. You'll thank us if you do!

:smile:  thank you anon, and yes, you will thank us later.  by talking to myself, and with other people here, you will come to find that the people on this site are only looking out for you and your child, and hopefuly prevent your child from becoming damaged by CEDU even more than they already have.  i encourage you to give me a call, and to talk with the other people here on this site.

former CEDU therapist:
Parents are desperate for a solution to their problems. The issue here is what works best? Many of these schools do not have outcome studies. And if there is a study - say, how is the student doing 3 years later and how was the adjustment afterward - what about a control group? A control group is a group that you don't do anything to.

The problem is that you can't conduct such a study. You can't take 1,000 troubled kids and send half to a school and do nothing with the other half. And there aren't studies showing specific schools' outcomes vs other treatments. So, parents don't know what to do.

Based on all of your experiences, what would you suggest to parents? It's one thing to say what NOT to do... can you think of alternatives? What about behaviors that could harm the teen for the rest of his/her life? So, what would you suggest here? Every situation is certainly different, but there are a lot of smart people in these boards with a lot of experiences. I've seen a lot of wise posts here. Let's give parents some tools!

YAY!!  i had some one call me today!  and i'm hoping for the best!
