[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 404149"] One thing I would also do looking into those programs is call the police dept that has jurisdiction in that area and inquire about the place. If they get a lot of calls out to it, if they've seen a lot of successes come out of it, etc (as I'm sure plenty of the kids there are locals they're familiar with already). I know a lot of court records in FL are available online to some degree, and I'd check to see if the place has been sued or anything in the past, too. You likely can't get the case file or anything, but if you see a long list of (parents vs. whatever) it's likely a good indicator to look elsewhere. I grew up in FL and I would hear about a number of the juvy and bootcamps just the cops in my area said are bad places to do anything but train criminals. If you have to call the police on him, make certain they are aware it's in regards to a MENTALLY ILL kid and his age, so they know what they're walking into. [/QUOTE]
