Reply #42: I'd like to see some sort of corroboration on this, as it sounds very... odd.

How in the world do you get a teen through an airport, on a harness, in these days of TSA intrusiveness? How do you do it at any time there are other adults in the vicinity? On reflection, they could possibly have done a small aircraft through a private airport, but that's very pricey...

Where is this "Cross Creek" facility? I'm not having any luck on Google...
Oops, found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Association_of_Specialty_Programs_and_Schools, and this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_Creek_Programs, which is pretty uninformative. Also this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwest_Accreditation_Commission.

O.K., on second reflection/edit, I see that this is a pretty unsavory business. I'll leave my original words standing as a testement to doing one's research before posting... But I'm still not getting the airport thing. How the flying fuck (no pun intended) do you manage that? Who's being paid off?
