An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

Alright so its funny to me nobody knows of this school so i guess ill break it down as i was a student for about a year there when the school had barely been opened i believe there was like 80 kids there at the time and the time of my leave more near 400 to 500. The school was owned by Jade robinson who was a former adminstrater for Casa by the Sea which was closed for reported abuse, mal nutrition and emotional abuse, also lack of meds and lack of qualified staff members. Horizon academy is also owned by his wife cassie robinson. The school is according to jade not part of wwasp but how ever its uses the same 6 step program to graduate and the same seminars and consequences as the all of the other wwasp programs. Ive never seen any physical abuse at this academy but will not say there wasnt, I personally feel that Horizon Academy helped me with becoming more dependant as far as my emotional problems, but the school lacked many things. Including teachers, the wait to see a teacher was ridiculous so i pretty much stuck to the subjects that i knew where as math i never touched once the whole time i was there. I cant say the school was bad but i would say that unless your kid has some serious problems this is not the place for him, i would of picked juvi any day over this program, i didnt agree with a lot of there tactics. I smoked pot and cigarettes and liked to hang out with my friends, ya thats not a perfect life but i should of not been stripped of my family, friends and all of these privledges for that, i would say that the first 4 months there i learned all that i was gonna learn after that i pretty much learned i had to fake my emotions out of me so i could move up in the program. I was never defiant there nor did i disrespect others, i devoted every day in that academy to going home and worked my hardest, and never progressed higher than level 3, it was nearby impossible to graduate the program with out have being "brainwashed" or a snitch, which i would of never let myself become. I must personally say thanks to horizon academy for making me stronger with my emotions, but my relationship never change with my mom, because i was not a problem she was, Im 19 years old with my own house and own car and im doing great which i would say was because of myself not horizon, i believe the hardest thing was knowing how severe the school was when i literally had done a few bad things growing up not like the other kids who tried killing there parents or who were slamming heroin everyday, then i would say that this place would probably be great for those reasons. I do believe are letters were edited and i do believe that they use the excuse that all of us kids are manipulators because i know for a fact they told my mom not to listen to me for the first three months. I never once manipulated my mom, she made the decision on her own to pull me and when she  did thats all they would say was no hes just manipulating you, you have to be strong like the other parents, and my mom still got me which was by far the most stress relieving time of my life.
