Can you send your teen to boot camp without going to court?

In: Parenting and Children, Children and the Law

Answer:

Sending a child to a teen boot camp is a very difficult thing to do. It can be done without a court order. Some states still recognize that a parent is the best one to find help for their child. These states will allow parents to place their teen in a boot camp or boarding school even if the teen doesn't want to go. Some people believe it is abusive to take an action like this, but many parents find themselves in danger. This can happen when the teen becomes violent, steals from them, or begins selling drugs out of their home.

Not all boot camps are equal and it is important to research any option prior to sending a teen there. It is always a good idea to visit any potential placement option prior to enrolling a teen.
