Alright now, lets not go throwing stones at people. This article is written to be as damming as possible. I don't know about this school personally but one in costa rico was shut down because of this kind of talk and guess what, they stormed the school and just turned the kids out on the street no calls home nada all the sudden they had several hundred kids walking a major city looking for drugs and anyone who would hook them up. Everyone under level three left almost all the kids at level 3 and above did everything they could to help keep their fellow kids out of harms way. Now the government there is being charged by the US and other countries for mistreating children and human rights violations due to their actions. I personally know one of these children he will tell you to your face the school was the best thing that happened to him. He is smart and very articulate. I just think before you go posting stuff like this you make sure and have both sides of the coin on the story. The parents I have spoken to arn't nazis they are out of options for thier child. Most of them were at the point where they had to choose to ether kick a 15 or 16 year old out on the street or send them to a place like this school for the safety of thier other children at home and maybe just maybe save their childs life, if not from death then from a horrible adulthood spent on drugs,booze and in jail. Articles on the internet are a powerful thing, I personally have a hard time taking a on line newspaper seriously when they advertise a napster replacement and redirect you to a kazza site when you visit them.

And thats all I have to say about that.
