Camden Milirary Academy
Lost my only child to drugs at Camden Military Academy

I have one child, a wonderful boy. Any parent would have been proud of him. He was a bilingual child. He played viloin, lacrosse, he had so much promise for a bright future. He wanted to serve his country someday, and joined the Civil Air Patrol. He was kind hearted always wanting to help others. As a single mother, I thought it would be a good idea to send him to Camden Military Academy. To prepare him for desire to serve his country. I should have seen the warnings signs that things were not at I preceived them to be at Camden. I remember taking my son and a friend back to school after the Thanksgiving holiday, his freind started panicking on the drive back and begged me not to leave him at the school. He kepted saying, please don't leave me there, please don't leave me there my parents don't believe me about how bad it is at Camden. I called his parent's and agreed to leave him at Camden. After I dropped off both boys I had a terrible feeling inside, I spoke with the school and they assured me it was normal for young men to feel this way. My son was home from Camden and disappeared once, but he left his cell phone behind. I started calling numbers on his contact list, trying to locate him. I spoke with one father of another student at Camden who was heartbroken and had lost his son to drug addiction at Camden, and sent him to a wilderness camp/drug rehab. He strongly suggested I get my son tetsted as the school to his knowledge was infested with drugs. I took my son for his annual physical and found out that his blood was saturated with drugs. My son did tell me that weed is so easily available at the school. The cadets there get high regularly, on weed, cold medicine, whatever. I have sent my son to rehab, and nothing has worked. My son had so much promise, and now his life is surrounded by heartache and addiction, friends in prison, one died recently. Of course, there are drugs in schools, but when you send a child to a private boarding school, you expect that there is supervision. My son was smoking weed at Camden everyday with other cadets, and nobody at the school noticed or contacted me until it was to late, they waited until he was a senior about to graduate to tell me, so he never even got to graduate. They made there money at the cost of my son's life and future. Please don't send your son to Camden, you just might loose hime forever to drugs. I am in pain everyday over having sent my son to Camden Military Academy.
