[QUOTE="been there done that, post: 344483, member: 9099"] I have just come across this and feel compelled to tell you my own story. My daughter had bipolar disorder and had attempted suicide and ran away twice. Like you I did not like the idea of wilderness. Like you I did my homework. I also picked a napsap school that was advertised on struggling teens. What my daughter went through was horrific. It did not make her better only worse. When she finished there she was OK at first then even worse than when she went in. She moved out and did not want to even speak to her family for a year. WHen she did i found out what she went through and i wont repeat in on a pblic forum but no human should be treated that way at all. We now have post traumatic stress to add to the cavalcade of issues!!!!!!! I get that you feel out of options and you are scared for all concerned but I would advise against sending your kid away. Bear in mind that so called reputable places lie, staff turn over is high with a difficult population and the vast majority limit contact with the outside world. As the parent of a runaway that looked comforting but you need to question what they are hiding if this is the case. I regretted sending mine away. Think carefully before you become me! [/QUOTE]
