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?

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?
