    It has been big news in Chalrleson for the last several days but this has been brewing for most of the summer. The Charleston Gazette checked this "academy" out earlier this summer and raised a lot of alarms.
    Last week, officials find like 20 kids, including many from foreign countries, holed up in a two-bedroom, unfurnished apartment.

    Dan Hicks, the academy founder insists no one is being scammed... One of the TV stations has a video of him holding a loaf of bread, telling the reporter he fed the kids who paid to attend.
