Teen Esteem is WWASPS--World Wide Association of Specialty Programs and Schools--currently under fire in the media and facing massive litigation for fraud, abuse, abuse rising to the level of torture, and a corporate culture of such blind arrogance as to defy understanding in the so-called civilized world. Programs in Samoa, Cancun, the Czech Republic and (just last month) Costa Rica have been shut down by a wide variety of third world governments-- but continue to operate in this country. My son spent 4 months in their Ensenada, Mexico facility. He has been home now for less than a month, and every day brings new stories made even more horrific by the matter-of-fact tone in which they are related. The people who own and operate these facilities are criminals. Now you've been told. I wish someone had told us.
