[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dd was in an FCPS CSS program and when a child was having a meltdown, a staff member tried to restrain him and broke his leg.

FCPS was in serious legal trouble for routinely locking kids in closets and hiding the fact that it was happening.

How can anyone trust FCPS with their child after incidents like those? Or any public school, for that matter? [/quote]

I think you are trying to be tongue in cheek, but I will respond in earnest.

[b]FCPS is highly regulated. When something horrible is exposed, there are consequences.[/b]

RTCs have virtually no state regulation and absolutely zero Federal regulation.

There are more than 200k kids sent to these places each year.

They are profit machines for corporate America, not mental health facilities. Until there is substantial oversight, one should proceed with extreme caution.

Wrong. Bad sh!t happens to kids with SNs in FCPS schools and FCPS-placements (private day schools) all the time. Rarely does anyone have consequences. Even a serious lawsuit didn't have any actual consequences for any staff. [/quote]
