EXCLUSIVE: 'It's a prison for boys.' Former students aim to SHUT DOWN Missouri boarding school where longtime doctor faces child sex charges and parents were told not to believe their sons because they would lie about abuse
Daily Mail UK ^ | April 27, 2022 | Sandra Clark

A whistleblower who got her own parents arrested and charged with more than 100 counts of abuse at a girls' school has now set out on a 'mission' to close down an associated facility.

The Agapé Boarding School for Boys in Stockton, Missouri, has been hit with 14 lawsuits and Amanda Householder believes the time has come to shutter it for good.

‘The fact that the Agapé Boarding School is still open is beyond infuriating,’ Householder, 31, who was key to getting her parents' Circle of Hope school in nearby Humansville shut in 2020, told DailyMail.com.

‘When Circle of Hope closed I begged a deputy sheriff with Cedar County to investigate Agapé. I have been trying to get Agapé shut down ever since and for some reason it's being protected.

'This is despite the similarities between the two schools and the fact that countless former students have come forward with their horrific stories of abuse and sexual violence.

'It is absolutely heartbreaking,' she added.

Agapé advertises itself as a 'boarding school for teenage boys exhibiting bad behavior or failing grades.'

'We will turn around your troubled teen,' it boasts on its website.

It also says: 'If your son is out of control, expelled or falling behind in school, we will help get him back on track! Unlike typical boarding schools and military schools we only work with boys who are struggling so we strictly maintain discipline and security, while showing Christian love and care for the boys at all times.

Anyone notice how the Mail slipped a photo of a Trump flag into the last image of the article?

Whatever Pizza Gate was or was not I firmly believe the DC Staebucks murders were not perpetrated by the designated mope and it did reach into the First Harridan’s office or bed.

I didn’t zoom in to see what it was...just assumed it was the school’s flag.

But you’re RIGHT!

What you just said? If parents had homeschooled from day 1? They would not have that problem but the parents did not do that now did they? In fact be honest if a lot of parents had homeschooled a lot of troubled could have been avoided.
