Since joining answers I'm learning all sorts of things about our stateside friends, and after seeing this as advise for a disturbed teen, I'm wondering can you actually do this if the youngster doesn't want to go?

There was a court case about 5 years ago that said that it is perfectly legal for a parent to have their child kidnapped, forcibly removed from the country and sent to a foreign school or treatment facility.
I don't know if that was overturned though.

Both my brothers were sent to military school before they were in their teens...and I was sent to boarding school for a few years. None of us enjoyed our experiences, but it didn't hurt us either.
And yes, as long as the child is a minor, parents can do pretty much what they want to do.

I was sent to a military school against my will, long ago. (My big brother was a troublemaker, so they sent both of us). I did not think I had any options, and back then, I probably didn't. I'm not sure it's much better now.
We didn't send any of our 4 children to military school, but I think we could have if we felt strongly enough about it.

Yes, you sure can. That is why most of these children are there... because their parents don't know what to do with them.
