Yea i was at casa by the sea for about 12 months. i was there up until it was shut down. I can go on and on about how bad we were treated, the horrible living conditions, or the abusive mexican staff. It was a dream come true for everyone at casa when the mexican athorities came and gave the news that we were all free. Im not supprised a riot started. My parents never sent me to another program after i was free to tell them what actually went on (if you say anything negative about the program on the phone your call will be cut off and you will get harshly punished) I was mad for a long time but i know my parents were just doing what they thought was right.

This is why Brat Camp needs to fucking die. It serves only to support this crap and make it look favorable to the masses. Grrr.

Yea, exactly. Thats the thing, these aren’t hardened criminals. They are often just regular teens with psycho parents.

“My feeling is that the majority of kids who talk about suicide, they’re not suicidal,” Strawn said. “What they are is manipulative.”

“Manipulative.” They all use that word. It is almost like a cult… they all use the same expressions and arguments. That quote reminded me of Tom Cruise going on about chemical imbalences.

This was very scary. Except being held back a year, I have done everything this kid has done, and a lot worse. It could be almost anyone.
