We are looking for anyone who has a story to tell about Monarch Academy and their experiences there, good or bad.
We are thinking about possibly sending our child there and want to be sure it's a good place before we do.
So please, be truly honest in your reply because we are so worried after reading what goes on in these places.
Thank you so much, concerned parent.

I too am considering sending my son to Monarch. I personally know of 3 kids who have gone or are going to Monarch. I met with a students mother who happens to have a son there now. She lives near us and we met. She raves about it, showed me pictures... She would probably be willing to talk to you. I am going out to visit next month. I even talked to a girl who recently went there.
my e-mail is maberman@verizon.net if you want to contact me. Helene

From the HEAL site:
The Monarch School is suspected of being an abusive behavior modification program. This is based on the language of the parent/school contract which reads: ?AUTHORIZATION FOR RESTRAINT-I/We hereby give consent and authorize the school personnel to utilize reasonable physical force to restrain, control and detain the above named student for and including, but not limited to, the following purposes: to protect the student, protect property, protect Monarch School personnel or others from physical injury or threat of injury from the student. AUTHORIZATION FOR SEARCH I/We hereby give consent and authorize the school to search the student and the student?s personal effects. The school is hereby authorized to confiscate any and all items deemed by the school to be contraband. ? It is suspect because if a child is not a threat to themselves or others physical restraint, control, or detainment is wholly unwarranted and violates international and federal human rights laws that apply to children as well as adults. In fact, prolonged and unwarranted physical restraint, control, or detainment is considered torture under the United Nations definition. Further evidence taken from their contract that we find suspect is the following: ?. I/We hereby voluntarily release and discharge Monarch School and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents of any and all claims, demands, actions suits or proceedings which the student or any parent, relative, or next of kin of the student may have for any or all injuries, damages and expenses, including but not limited to all personal injuries and illnesses and all damages to personal and real property caused by, arising out of, or otherwise related to the student?s participation in any activity or program conducted by or on behalf of Monarch School.? They require parents to sign a permission slip that they may physically harm their child and then require that should they find the conduct to be malicious on the part of Monarch Schools that they agree never to sue even if illegal abuse or violations of human rights are evident. Don?t send your child to this school! If you have attended Monarch School and you were abused while in their care, contact us and we will add your testimonial to this website to warn others.
