[QUOTE="Andy, post: 282568, member: 5096"] Put it into writing as if you would send it to the director of the camp. Remember, supervisors do not always know what their staff are doing. I stated "as if" because I am not certain if you would want to actually mail it. He is 18 years old, an adult in the eyes of society and probably suppose to hold his own in this place without mom batting for him? However, he can still get tools from you. You can help him through the grievence process. You can encourage him to make his own report which includes a response that will assure him the correct person actually received his report. Is there an advocate or a trusted staff in the facility that he would feel comfortable asking for help in this area? For whatever happened - I am so sorry! Time to teach him how to join you in battle. If he says, "Mom, I don't want to make a big deal over this." your response can be, "Matt, I want you to be able to stand up for yourself. Your rights are just as important as anyone else's. If you do change your mind, please do ........ (list the process). If you do want my help, I am here." If he hears the strength you are passing onto him often enough with the words of how to properly stand up for himself (without the anger causing more problems), then some day soon, he may follow that advise.
