They have recently changed their name to <strong><a href="http://www.caica.org/MAGNOLIA_HILLS_ACADEMY_formerly_CAROLINA_SPRINGS_ACADEMY.htm">Magnolia Hills Christian</a></strong>. It is believed the staff will remain and I believe nothing will change except the name. Falling under a Christian/Religious umbrella may not require them to meet the same regulations a traditional accredited school or program would meet.<br /><br />The irony of this change is when my daughter asked for her Bible at Carolina Springs Academy, they took it from her – and she got demerits. They were not allowed Bible Study or to have any Bibles.<br /><br />She prayed every night that she wouldn’t wake up – it was that bad. She was cautious not to be caught praying since that would have been a demerit, too. Our story is published in <a href="http://witsendbook.com/">Wit’s End </a>(Health Communications, Inc. July 2008) or you can read <a href="http://aparentstruestory.com/">A Parent’s True Story</a>.<br /><br />The marketers (Teen Help, Lisa Irvin, Help My Teen, Jane Hawley, Teens in Crisis, Life Lines, etc) of these programs claim I was a disgruntled parent. Yes, when a program harms our children parents do become disgruntled.<br /><br />Parents still contact me to this day letting me know about treatment their children have received. Former students also contact me with their stories. And the sad news is it’s the same treatment my daughter received 10 years ago!<br /><br />Sure, maybe they’ve made a few improvements while they were under scrutiny. But the problem is the same “people” are running the program.<br /><br />I defeated this organization in a jury trial – proving my story has truth – and then won an $11M judgment for Internet Defamation that I endured following my victory and their loss. My book, <a href="http://googlebombbook.com/">Google Bomb</a>, The Untold Story of the $11.3M Verdict (Health Communications Inc.

Later, that same teenager got food poisoning and was rushed to the ER (unbeknownst to her mother) because sewage had contaminated the food she was eating and sunk into the carpet of the living areas.<br /><br />These are just some of the experiences that <a href="http://suescheff.com/">Sue Scheff’s </a>daughter, Ashlyn, experienced while enrolled in a residential treatment program, supposed to be helping her cope with emotional and behavioral problems while building up her self-esteem. Furious about how Ashlyn had been treated, Scheff posted her experiences online about the program and was promptly sued for libel. Scheff won by a long shot.<br /><br />Now parents can read Scheff’s story and learn from her mistakes in <a href="http://witsendbook.com/"><strong>Wit’s End: Advice and Resources for Saving Your OUT-OF-CONTROL TEEN (HCI Books, July 2008).</strong> </a>The book is the result of her years of effort to educate parents and provide them with the proper resources to care for their own difficult teen.<br /><br />“I was desperate to find good help for my daughter, but this program ended up making things worse,” says Scheff. “My book provides positive, prescriptive help for families who want to put their children on the road to a safe, healthy adulthood. It is imperative parents do their homework and Wit’s End can offer a convenient outline to get them started.”<br /><br />Parents doing their homework becomes even more important in light of a 2007 study released by the U.S. Government Accountability Office which uncovered thousands of allegations of abuse, some of which involved death, at residential treatment programs across the country and in American-owned and American-operated facilities abroad between the years 1990 and 2007.<br /><br />For parents who need one-on-one guidance, Scheff founded Parents’ Universal Resource Experts (P.U.R.E.), an advocacy group that not only researches residential treatment centers and other teen help programs around the world, but helps educate parents to choose which facilities are best suited to match their child’s needs.<br /><br />Sue Scheff is a parent advocate and the founder of Parent’s Universal Resource Experts, Inc. She has been featured in numerous publications and broadcasts, including: 20/20, The Rachel Ray Show, ABC News, CBC News: Sunday Morning, CNN Headline News, Fox News, BBC Talk Radio, National Public Radio and The New York Times.<br /><br />For more information, please visit <a href="http://www.suescheff.com/">http://www.suescheff.com</a> or <a href="http://www.helpyourteens.com/">http://www.helpyourteens.com/</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05047519231630513506noreply@blogger.com
