I also was looking into these types of schools for my step daughter. the ones I found were upwards of $70,00.00 per year. Could not afford that so I checked locally with the sheriffs department, they run a boot camp for troubled teens and it was affordable. $125.00 registration fee.I live in Fort Lauderdale,Florida. They also have a boot camp school called F.O.S.I.(Florida Ocean Science Institute) This is a court ordered program, and has helped many kids. Call your local court house and see if there is any help for juvinile deliquent children in your city. Good luck! I have said a prayer for you.
