Mother of Venice Ford
Why is your child at horizon-
I made my daughter , Venice, go there. I had made the court decision.
And I am partly why. i knew her best friend was abusing my eldest daughter Mary Beth and he was also abusing Talula. I looked the other way and let him continue.
What do you hope to acomplish with sending your child to Horizon
I hope she gets over her over dramatics. And comes back a normal and
happy child. I want her to be skinny and a cheerleader. She already is skinny, but not enough to accomplish something.
How do you feel about sending your child to Horizon
Great now I only have one over dramatic child to deal with. And I will
be sending Talula there soon

I want my daughter to get over this stupid phase of petty behavior
so she can get back in the gym. The next Olympics is four years away, and we need to get her training again
How do you feel about sending your child to Horizon
As long as they help her get back in the gym, I'm perfectly fine with
it
Mother of Mackenzie Leckle

We sent her here to get the help she needs
What do you hope to acomplish with sending your child to Horizon
I just want my baby to get back to normal again. I don't want to recieve
a call in the middle of the night, finding out she was raped, or she overdosed. I just want her healthy and happy again
How do you feel about sending your child to Horizon
As long as it brings her back to her old self, I'm all for it.
Foster Mother of Andy and Max Curtis
Why are your children at horizon
We, my husband and I, got custody of Max and Andy when they were
15, almost 8 months ago. They were taken from their aunt and uncle who were suspected of abusing them. Max had told us what they did to him. Andy, well He wouldn't and still hasn't budged.
Andy was a bit of a trouble maker when we got him. He shop lifted and stuff. He had alot of problems that he needed to resolve. WE mainly sent the twins to Horizon because of Andy. We knew that the two needed to be together so we sent Max with him.
What do you hope to acomplish with sending your children to Horizon
I hope that they both return to normal, well the usual definintion of
normal after everything they've been through. I hope they can learn, especially Andy, to trust us so we can adopt them. We have two daughters and we want two sons. But it's not possible until they work out all they need to work out.
How do you feel about sending your children to Horizon
I feel bad in a way. They've never felt love before really. They did before their parents died but look what happened after that. Now we're sending them away. I hope they don't get the wrong Idea, that we don't love them or anything. But it's for their own good I believe
Foster Father of Andy and Max Curtis
Why are your children at Horizon
We took Max and Andy into our home when they had just turned 15. They had been taken away from their family for various reasons. We soon realized that they had problems that they needed to deal with that we truely were not equiped to helpthemwith, especially Andy, so we heard about Horizon from a social worker and decided to give it a try.
What do you hope to acomplish with sending your children to Horizon
The Social workers say the only way we can go ahead with adopting the boys is by them getting help. I have two daughters, I love them with all my heart, but everyman wants a son. And I get to have two. I want them to be part of our family because we love them
How do you feel about sending your child to Horizon
In a way I feel bad. But it needed to be done so we can give the boys a home.
