I am an ex resident, most of the skills i learned here after i left didn't work outside of the controlled atmosphere. I came off as a passive and dismissive person, lost many friends trying to carry my skills over. I was told years later I was believed to have been in a abusive home and they taught me how to deal with the abuse. I was a client used for money. I also know that there was illegal practices with the founder and principals husband being the accountant. It cost 5k a month for a child to go there in 2011/2012 and we ate scrambled eggs and rice for every single meal. We also got government pallets for our school lunches. I know for fact making 120k a month on children that may not even need the services that dont work Charis could feed them a lot better than that of a college kid. Its a joke that the kids are aware of and i wish someone would do something.
