KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Julio Sandoval tells parents he wants to help their wayward sons get on the right path.
He assures them, through the website for his transport business, that he will deliver their children safely to a boarding school. So parents hire Sandoval’s company — Safe Sound Secure Youth Ministries — to remove their so-called “troubled teens” from their homes and transport them to the schools.
Sandoval also is former dean of students at Agape Boarding School and current leader of another unlicensed facility, both in Missouri. His goal with his transport company is to be “a blessing to your home,” and Sandoval shares with parents the philosophy he says he uses with his own seven children: “I don’t care if you like me, I am not raising you for YOU to like ME. I am raising YOU, for ME to like you.’”
