Against my advice, my Brother adopted 2 meth babies who had been taken from their mother because, well duh, she was a methy and the second was born with meth in his system. But they didn't listen. Well, now, 10 years later, they are completely out of control, non-stop problems, violence, one set the house on fire and almost burned it down, cleptomaniacs... the list goes on. As of now, ones in Juvie for torching the house, the others in a mental health ward for I dont even know what...

Anyways, they'll probably be returned to the home at some point. And I think they just dont have any structure, discipline, idk. But would shipping them off to a military school instill in them the discipline, sense of purpose, that they supposedly instill? Do they even have military schools anymore? My knowledge on the subject comew from Malcom in the Middle and Major Payne so idk. Advice?

Military schools aren't cheap; like 50+ grand a year. Take the meth babies camping and leave them there. Report them as missing and hope they're not found until they're dead. Later on read about them in Missing 411.

A military school would eventually expel them without refunding their considerably large tuition fees. Private schools are under no obligation to accommodate problem kids the way public schools are. They just kick the brats out, that's how they maintain their high outcome standards.

But I hear that they have what are called "Boot Camps for Troubled Youth." Those guys will take anybody, and they just want you to sign a release so they can use corporal punishment. These are the only programs that appear to have any lasting positive results. Fortunately, while they are expensive, they are not long term, and last 12-30 weeks, so they're usually more affordable than a military school for a full semester would be.

They don't and they aren't. I did 8 months in a level 8 juvie boot camp. I just got better at running from cops.

See, they got you running every day, you got better at running from the cops, and you caught fewer charges afterwards than you would have if you were still slow. See how juvie boot camp improved your life?

Fuck Albert Schweitzer, and fuck consequence blind idealism.

The idea that every life is worth saving is highly destructive and eventually destructive to life.

You could be fixing them and helping them reach their true potential, or depending on how fucked up the program and place is and how much they diddle the kids, you'll just be loading a revolver for society to play russian roulette with at some undetermined date.

Those kids are very likely unsalvageable.

IQ is 80% heritable. Meth isnt the drug of choice for brilliant people. Time preference is also highly heritable and correlates tightly with self-destructive, impulsive behavior like meth abuse and arson. Personality is also largely fixed by the age of five or so. In other words, both children are likely low IQ psychopaths that your brother was dumb enough to think he could fix with magic dirt.

Life pro tip: psychopathy is incurable.

Careful, they might comeback as she.

Military school is expensive and probably won't help. I went to a bad boy boot camp where I got stronger and faster and developed more endurance for physical activity. It didn't help with my criminal tendencies. I didn't stop until I had a kid but most don't even then. Drown them now!

Send them off to the French Foreign Legion. They'll probably be killed either by the locals or their fellow soldiers. But on the off chance they survive they might turn out okay.

I heard the same from a coworker. Adopted a FAS baby and he turned out to be a serial rapist at age 15. He had been a shit show from birth.

Pray for him that's all you can do. It's in their DNA and your bro is responsible until they are about 22 now since they can stay on parent's insurance.

Is it 22 now? I thought it was 25.
