Question:
Is there a boot camp for girls here in Wisconsin?
I have a teen, totally out of control and faces certain death on the streets. She's promixicous, not taking her meds for mood disorder, and boot camp is the only way. I need one here close to milwaukee, or within driving distance of Wisconsin.
Answers:
If she has a mood disorder are you really sure that boot camp is a good idea? My god, I would think it would make things worse! That sounds barbaric. Since she is a minor, has a mood disorder, self destructive and not taking her medications, I think it would be a better and less harmful idea to get her psychiatric treatment. I mention her age because you still have power when it comes to forcing her to get treatment that may include in-patient hospital care. Talk to your local mental health association (should be able to find it find it in the phone book) about what sorts of help is available to you at this time. Boot camp is not really meant for teens who have serious psychological disorders, but those who have adjustment disorders.
