I've been on and off here since this whole thing started as an ex-WWASP kid in my 20's. It seems that this has returned to the beginning days of mudslinging with nothing productive happening. CCMGirl and Julie, I think you have accurate and valid points. I was there and agree 100% with what you've said about WWASP, and I do predict that Alex won't be pro-WWASP once he is sure he's free for good. I really don't think your approach is effective. CCMGirl, in your case your family may have been willing to give your aunt and uncle custody, but these aunts haven't been granted that and have no legal ground to pull Alex or intervene in any way. I personally see them as committed by being here, one of the only things they can do, and relaying info to his mom about concerns they read about on here. That is how we can be effective with parents, in my opinion, by saying what we went through and how we feel about it.
To the aunts, I see you being attacked and I think you are also being a bit immature by swearing at posters. I, too, would want to defend my family. However, you don't have to demean yourself by responding in a similarly childish manner.
Let's raise the bar, people. There was some really useful information shared over the past few months. Don't give the naysayers more reason to discredit this site- it takes away from its purpose, which I would hope is to End Institutionalized Child Abuse by spreading awareness.
