yea, your parents go to court and ask for it, they have to have proof that you are not able to be "on your own" and make "safe" decisions. it's very easy for parents to get it if you're at a CEDU school because you are there for not making "good choices." you could also try to fight it in court, but you are VERY unlikely to win. after you get extended custody, you no longer have the legal rights of an adult, you are treated as a minor and your parents have a say in everything that you do and where you can and can not go. for instance, when my parents got e.c. <- extended custody, while i was at BCA i would get sent to N.I.B.H. if i screwed up and got "kicked out of the school." i would have to finish high school there at N.I.B.H. and we all know that wouldn't be fun. does that make sense?
