It has come to my attention that a boarding school, Stillwater Academy is strikingly similar to what Ivy Ridge, the controversial boarding school featured on Netflix, was promising before it got shut down for it's many cases of child abuse. From what I've read on social media some ex-students of Stillwater Academy share my views. They claim to have been abused physically and mentally by the way the program was run, it also has a level system like Ivy Ridge had. I'm inclined to believe the voices of the victims over the generally positive reviews on Stillwater's website.

I don't think we should ignore the abused who have shared their stories. There are probably more victims that don't have the courage to speak out and they need our help.

 Stillwater Academy isn't alone, they have an umbrella of schools underneath it on their website. So if all these Academies are run in the same manner there may be a lot more children suffering in silence.

So I believe we need a proper, thorough investigation of what is actually going on within this Academy's walls. We need solid proof that nothing malicious is afoot and that anyone who gets sent there is actually going to be guaranteed to be safe.

If we don't act now we may never truly know if the teenagers that get sent there are actually getting the help they need.
