I consider myself to come from a good, hard working family, however my family is experiencing a major crisis with my younger brother. My family never thought we'd ever go through this situation. My older sister is in Medical School my other sister and I are finishing college and the youngest my brother...we just found out he is doing drugs and is involved in a gang. I have been researching programs to help him..but I have heard of these so called "kidnap" programs mostly in Utah, where they come and take the individual while they are sleeping and they keep them for months until they are completely rehabilitated. I have heard only great things about them. However they are very expensive. If anyone has any information I would be very grateful for your interest in helping my family as this may be a life or death situation. Thank you for your time.

He was hospitalized in October with a brain hemorrhage caused by what we thought he was hit in the head with a bat. Latter on we found out that his own gang buddies had done that to him...taking him by the legs and flipping his feet over his head..hitting his head on the concrete and getting beat will he had a concussion. THIS IS LIFE AND DEATH we are desperate.

Unless you wana bust him with the cops, there is no kidnap solution; legally. Just do an intervention and tell him if he dosen't go to rehab (pick a cheap one) or he is cut off.

Well....my brother went thru the same thing from age 13-19. I have learned that the only help he will get will be help he wants. You can kidnap him, send him away, brain wash him, whatever.....but it wont do any good unless he wants it. My mom sent my brother to rehab when he was 17....two days after he got out he was back on drugs and my mom was out $9000. Then my brother started stealing checks from my mom....she pressed charges and sent him to jail. He called her a few days later and she bailed him out. he did it again. She sent him back to jail and kept him there. the judge ordered he go stay at a halfway house 5 hours away if he wanted out of jail at all. My brother willingly went and it was the best year of his life because he has been clean for over a year now and is getting married and having a baby. Well....goodluck with your brother.....he is not gonna see that he needs to change tho until he hits rock bottom.

Are you nuts?
This is a phase I've gone through it my cousin has gone through it the only thing you can do is help and guide.
If he's over 18 tell him he has to go to tharapy and get out of the gang or youll change the locks on the doors and call the police if he tries to come home.
if he's under 18 all you can do is guide him and try to brace his fall there are no easy answers or quick fix. You may have to wait till he screws up and goes to jail or the hospital for him to see the light.

I wouldn't go that far, you will probably turn him against you. These so called programs brainwash people. Give him time to figure it out. Set a good example for him, as you are already doing. It's his life, if he's smart He's realize one day what he's doing. Just be there for him for right now. If things get out of hand, then call in the authorities and get him some counselling.

Kidnapping carries a 25 to life sentence...Being an accomplice to this is a felony...You decide...No one will tell you, its illegally to become a part of this, even giving info...So, what your asking is considered a crime...You may want to pull this question...
