  • Military Teen Boot Camps: A Difficult Decison

    August 29th, 2007 by Ann Walker

    Sending your out of control teen to a military teen boot camp or brat camp is not an easy decision. For most parents it is preceded by months of anguished worry. The teen who is dispatched to camp often responds with very hurtful vitriol, accusing the parent of cruelty and threatening to run when they get out.

    The parent below is one of a group of parents of at-risk teens who are networking via a website that they created to help officials and each other fight back against drugs, drug dealers, and parents who don’t seem to care.

    “My son 15 year old son is in Utah getting treatment. I had to make the hardest decision of my life to send him away in the wee hours of the night by escort. wow what a blow to both of us. Him for not thinking i would follow through with my threats. For me for doing it and knowing i would have no communication for at least 30 days.

    I have contacted the Tustin police department and have had some good conversation with the narcotics detective. He is more than eager to talk with us to give us insight, assistance, direction on what else we can do to get this problem under control and help our kids.

    If any kid out there know of a guy named Larry who may be one of our potential ADULT (23yrs) dealer to our kids. Let the PD know anything. They are ther to help us. I gave them numbers from my sons cell phone of people who were texting the sale of drugs. I hope they can track someone down.

    Parents lets continue to talk, email, communicate to each other in any way we can…”
