"I went on
http://www.baptiststandard.com and I'ts sad what happened at San Marcos Academy but look at what they did about it. The perpetrator was fired immediately, all families were contacted, charges were pressed and the program is clearly sorry that this happened and isn't trying to hide anything at least that I can see. This is how The Bundys should be acting lf they truley had nothing to hide."
That is questionable. Before you put them on a pedestal for having 'done the right thing', read this thread:

HOUSTON (AP) - Two years after a dormitory director was charged with sexual abuse, a former student and his mother are suing a San Marcos boarding school for negligence, alleging that school officials knew of the abuse and did nothing to stop it.
The Houston Chronicle reported in Saturday's editions that the lawsuit alleges school officials knew of Dixon's predatory behavior and "implicitly condoned it through inaction."
"Dixon often and repeatedly for years demonstrated sexually inappropriate behavior with children that was witnessed by employees, including supervisory employees at the academy," the lawsuit alleges.
Before the abuse, the lawsuit says, the boy had ranked high academically and was a cadet corps member. But he had to withdraw from the school and suffered an emotional collapse after officials discovered a pornographic video Dixon made in which the boy was an unwitting subject, the lawsuit stated.

In that thread you'll also read about another inappropriate sexual incident since then, resulting in decreased enrollment, and their dire attempt to change their image.
Point being, this appears to be a valid concern when kids are incarcerated. Parents should have the safe talk with their kid AND refuse to have contact limited or severed, if they are going to board them anywhere.
