[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 737631, member: 18958"] Sum. On the basis of personal experience, I recommend it. My son went to a center in the middle of San Francisco bay, at treasure island halfway across the bay bridge. They take kids with challenges, whether poverty, cultural, disability, even gang, etc. My son was perfectly safe, but there are adjustment issues, no different than school or the military. I think if it were presented in the right way son might be receptive and even think it was a privilege, and opportunity to emancipate early. The drawback might be the perception by extended family that this is "beneath him." This to me would be exactly the biggest benefit. By the time he was 18 he could have an excellent skillset. As I recall they have electrician, lvn, welding, computers, and many more trainings. What would be the loss? I think they can even live there and go to college. I would love it if he could go. It would turn this whole thing into a win win for everybody and he could get away from the great grandparents influence. [/QUOTE]
