[Vision2020] Boarding Schools

[Scott Dredge]

Visionaries,

I have a 15 year old sister who was placed in a
boarding school called Cross Creek Manor in Southern
Utah in early March.  According to one of the members
of their admission staff, Cross Creek's program
specializizes in behavior modification and teens are
awarded points for good behavior which allows them to
gain priveleges.  She is not allowed phone calls or
visitors.  Without being able to communicate with her,
I have no idea how she's doing.  As a little bit of
background, we shared the same father until his death
in January.  Her mother is an extremely religious
woman and the mother/daughter relationship had become
strained over the past couple of years over things
such as the kind of music my sister listened to and
the kinds of clothes she wore. In any event, my sister
is in this place and everyone I've talked with has
told me that I just need to accept it and there is
nothing I can do about it and she'll be able to leave
in 3 years when she turns 18.

Does anyone out in vision2020 land have any
information on places like these?  If so, please email
me offline.  I'm fine with trying to work within the
rules of the Cross Creek system to support my sister
with her program, but I'm having a heck of time even
getting any information on what the rules are.  The
internet isn't much help on this one...stories range
from great results to absolute horror. 

Thanks,

-Scott
