Episode 07: Daniel Yuen
When 16-year-old Edison, New Jersey teenager Daniel Yuen started staying out all night and stopped going to school, his parents tried everything to help him. When a series of medical doctors and therapists didn’t help with his depression or behavior issues, the parents turned to The CEDU School in Running Springs, California. Recommended by one of Daniel’s therapists, the exclusive therapeutic boarding school boasted huge promises, famous alums like Paris Hilton— and a hefty price tag: Nearly $6,000 per month. But far from being the Yuen family’s saving grace, they were introduced to The CEDU School’s dark underbelly when shortly after his arrival in 2004, their son became the third student to disappear without a trace from the campus.
