[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 729250, member: 1550"] Do be careful. There are loose regulations in boarding schools residential centers and wilderness camps.i have heard of hideous abuse in all three settings, even deaths in some wilderness camps. Absolutely visit first, ask for parent references, check online to see if the particular facility was ever reported and make sure they do not use corporal punishment or humiliation as discipline. There was one residential school in Maine (forgot the name....it is on YouTube) which was shut down for cruelty but many kids suffered first. There is nothing wrong with a good healthy program to help kids. Just be sure it's on the up and up. And this is just my opinion...I never heard of Wilderness Camps curing anyone long term and some of the stuff I heard... Scary. Again this is just from what I read or heard. I did have a foster child in residential treatment and saw even young kids restrained and carried by security guars to isolation rooms and the screaming I still can remember. I would never have chosen this place for my own kid. In foster care they go where the social worker says. Do good research. This could be a perfect solution until he is 18 in the right place. Just be careful. Love and light! [/QUOTE]
