[QUOTE="Fran, post: 142732, member: 3"] Hello and welcome. I know you only asked advice about treatment facilities but I had a few questions. How does he do academically? Does he have any hobbies or interests? Does he have friends? What does he do when he is out of school? What sort of behavior do you see at home? I'm not anti military type school since I think it would have been a big positive for someone like me. I thrive best in structure and clear rules but you have to be careful that it is a safe place and not he** on earth. The best schools have checks and balances. Having said that, I would not place my difficult child in that environment. It is not a place where he would function and would probably cause a total breakdown. Either one or two sounds pretty good. Don't discount the effect of peer pressure. My difficult child went to emotional growth boarding school. There was a very strong emphasis on peer support and criticism with staff backing. Morning and evenings they met as a group to talk about the good things that someone observed a peer doing and the negatives someone saw a peer doing. It was quite effective. In terms of sexual offenders, your question to the staff should be "what safeguards does the program have in place to protect your child?" Anyhow, that's my .02 Hope it's a help. [/QUOTE]
