ScottT in response to your comments earlier about lawsuits against transport agencies: Im sure that not only the highest members such as Ken Kay, but any and all who took part in this abusive, scandalous ring will be held responsible. Its one thing to take someone's money, but to harm and endanger their child is another. There are many angry parents out there who want to see something done to all those who took part.

:grin: I just read this article today! I was soooo excited. I was at Tranquilty bay for a little over 13 months. Although I, myself never got restrained...there were several people who did. I simply followed the ridiculously strcit rules....for the most part....and never got sent to OP....(observation placement). But, the people in OP got restrained and laid on their faces all day long. I think that Tranquility Bay is very hypocritcal. I think  I learned the most from the seminars....no the actual program. Anyway. Just thought I'd reply to this.

What about the parents who recruited families into WWASPS programs for-a-fee? Shouldn't they be held accountable for their role in dramatically boosting the number of children enrolled in these programs despite the obvious conflict of interest?  How many parents were pressured into placing their child in a program by persons who may or may not have even disclosed the fact that they earned a free's month's tutition (or $1,000 cash) for every referral that resulted in a placement?  Think about it.  Aside from being able to keep their own child in the program for months, even years, these parents may have also profited from other kinds of kick-backs (e.g. transporters).  With virtually no one looking over their shoulder (or into their bank accounts) it is anybody's guess just how much money was earned as a result of these PRIVATE transactions.

I am just waiting on them to just fuck with the wrong kid and one day he wakes up from the brainwashing and kills them all. When you take away a person's humanity and reward them for brutality you can create a person who is capable of anything.  Who wants to guess the percentage of kids at WWASP that have already been abused at home or elsewhere. Probably about a third of them in my opinion. And that is probably double for the girls.

I don't know, but I bet its high. And I think programs appear to work for that high percentage who were abused prior to program. Those who the programs don't work for appear to be those who are not accustomed to abuse and refuse to be treated with such disrespect. They seem to be the one's who are more frequently punished. They still have a will intact which the program must break. I spoke to a young man incarcerated with my son who said he prefered to be there. Imagine what the reality at home might have been like !!  :scared:

Having just checked the WWASP home page, (www.wwasp.com) I noticed that tranquility bay is no longer listed among the WWASP affiliated schools.  What's up with that?

I just went to the wwasp.com site and found Tranqulity Bay still listed when I hit the "Schools" link on the menu bar.

Not sure why it wasn't listed when you checked - but it's there now!

WWASP is certainly teetering on the brink of collapse. This class action lawsuit is going to be their long slow death like a knife twisting around. They are not even creative about their lies, I mean these guys are major political contributors and they just don't understand that it is better to not comment than to just spout a very transparent lie like the claim that Kay has no idea why all the WWASP programs share the same 2 offices right next to each other and why they all refer to the same mailing address and phone numbers.

If there is a class-action lawsuit, why is there no publicity about it similar to other class-action announcements published in major newspapers and/or on the Internet?
