Letter to Garrett's Parents

I can’t believe you would send Garrett to boot camp. Your duty as parents is to help raise your children and you seem to have just given up. Listening to your teenage son could have helped you understand what you were going through but instead you just push him away. It’s bad enough that you sent him to Lake Harmony, but that you also allowed them to kidnap him in the middle of the night by two strangers. Once they get to the camp the teenagers are starved and beaten. The camp is nothing better than a brainwashing factory. If they succeed they will just have destroyed any of Garrett’s personality. The children are used to beat up and police the other children with promises of rising up in a system that will eventually let them go home. The entire place must be shut down. You may not have agreed with things that Garrett has done like trying drugs and dating his ex teacher but you need to remember what it was like to be a teenager. Everyone makes mistakes and choices and it’s up to parents like you to help them through the difficult times. It is sad that you have just sent your problems away.

  1. This was a good choice for your letter. Did his mom and dad have different approaches to the decision to send him to camp?
