The home of an ISAC member was also robbed. See link below for further details.

Those who got robbed should seriously consider getting someone to sweep for listening devices. Ask your lawyers which company they use, most law offices are swept for bugs often. Oftentimes a burglary is just a cover for bugging the house, phones and computer lines. Check the back of your computers and phones for anything unusual.

Buy a gun too, put a sign outside that says something like "This house protected by Glock security technology."

Maybe you could call the local police dept and find out. I am curious to.

Cell phones do use some methods to protect privacy. They use frequency jumping so that it becomes very difficult to pick up more than a tiny piece of a call since they would have to know the variable that has been set to determine which frequency is next. I think most newer phones (the last year or two) use built in encryption as long as they are supported by the network you are on.

I would say they are much more secure than portable home phones which can be listened to quite easily.

The biggest privacy hole these days is email. An email is very easily intercepted and more importantly it can almost be guaranteed to be somewhere stored long after you delete it.

Maybe the mother needs to look at the possibility that one or several of her son's friends did the deed. That makes more sense than some underground parent group forming to get her - paranoia!

How long was Cody at Dundee Ranch? Two weeks prior to the rioting? Mom has a LARGE bag (trash bag?) of supposedly IMPORTANT documents. Doesn't that seem unlikely to anyone...Just having a "trash" bag laying around?? If it contained important documentation, a safety deposit box or a file cabinet, anything besides a trash bag would be a safer choice. What did she take pictures of? The damage her son helped to create?

Now, IF I were in this situation and I didn't find anything that would implicate Dundee in any wrong doing, but i had spent a lot of time trying to prove they were abusing MY kid, to save face I just might go as far as making it look like a person within big bad wwasp was out to get me. This kid is not someone I would believe - not a single word. Mom would look like a fool now that she believed what he said and found nothing to back it up. What's a good way to save face? Say I was robbed! My guess is there was nothing - Afterall, she put this stuff in a trash bag.

I've been reading a lot of paranoia, as well, on this board this week. I don't have a vested interest in wwasp so I can see both sides. Accusations toward each other, posters trying to make wwasp look stupid by pretending to be wwasp. It borders on the macabre.

WWASP doesn't need a PR firm. All they have to do is direct people to this site to see all the internal bickering.

Bull****. A couple of clues.
"Accusations toward each other, posters trying to make wwasp look stupid by pretending to be wwasp."

"This kid is not someone I would believe - not a single word."

No, doesn't seem at all unlikely to me. In my home they might have been laying out on my desk. One assumes that their home is safe. Afterall, she's not involved in a Watergate fiasco, or is she? What seems more likely is that you are not a neutral party.
What was it you were saying about Paranoid postings this week. Looks like you have your own brand of paranoia going. This Industry breeds it. You seem to be one of the more intelligent WWASP supporters.

Having important documents in a plastic bag seems safer than having a huge folder saying "WWASP FILES".

I just think from what I'm reading all over this forum is that there was NOTHING important to begin with. No one is saying she faked it, just that it could be one way to "save face" after believing her son about abuse at Dundee. I don't believe everything I read in the papers, so if this kid is still in trouble is none of my business.

think about it! the only kid thats testified in court yet! i do believe the copy from costa rica is among what was taken! of course they would want to know what was said

The Costa Rican courts would have a copy??

Yes im sure they have a copy but do you think if wwasp wanted to see they would just say ok here it is? no
