“There was a time that if you spilled hot coffee in your lap you would say “Wow, that was clumsy of meâ€â€¦ now it isâ€That wasn’t my fault, I need to sue someoneâ€. When I ever saw that person posting on fornits all ready equipped with lawyers names and phone numbers for kids to sue someone else for their own fuck-ups I almost died.â€

Good find, guest, thanks for hilighting it. This is just all too true today. The kids find they are entitled to afree ride in life and if things dont go well then it must be someone elses fault. The shit is going to hit the fan when they have to start earning a living and supporting themselves.
Then they will say... "My life was a piece of cake when I was a kid,,,, wish I was young again"
hey, who.
It will certainly hard for survivors of Cross Creek to make a living as they are deprived of education and opportunity to develop psychologically through constant restraint and terrorization. Free ride? How about WWASP stops running them over.

7. Defendants conspired with parents to implemented an “Exit Plan,†which had the effect

mental, and/or sexual abuse to which their children were subjected at their facilities, and conspired, even
to this day, to prevent them from discovering such abuse.
9. In addition to the foregoing facts, Plaintiffs incorporate by reference into this Complaint
each of Plaintiffs’ statement of facts, which statement of facts sets forth the specific circumstance and
occurrences relating to transactions and treatment of Plaintiffs by the Defendants. By agreement,
Plaintiffs’ statement of facts are being provided to defense counsel.
WWASPS, through their schools, owed the minor student Plaintiffs, who were entrusted
to its care, the highest duty of trust and confidence and was required to act in their best interest. The
schools’ actions and inactions, described herein, violated that relationship when they failed to act with
the highest degree of trust and confidence to protect the student Plaintiffs from physical, emotional,
mental, and sexual abuse.
2. As minors, unable to care for or make decisions for themselves, and entrusted in the care
of the schools operated by Defendants, student Plaintiffs were owed a fiduciary duty by each of the
individual entities and by all of the Defendants. By failing to take steps to prevent, detect, and minimize
the harm from the incidents of abuse suffered by student Plaintiffs, the Defendants breached their
fiduciary duty to student Plaintiffs.
1. WWASPS has acted in concert with the other Defendants in a pattern and practice to
fraudulently conceal the extent and nature of the physical, emotional, mental, and sexual abuse

occurring at its boarding schools, as well as the harmful effects of that abuse, continuing through the
present day. Defendants have also acted in concert to fraudulently conceal the fact that Defendants
engaged in a pattern and practice of stealing the value of student Plaintiffs’ labor, forcing them to work
several hours per day, for the duration of their attendance at the boarding schools without any
compensation whatsoever, as well as the value to student Plaintiffs of even a minimally sufficient
education.
2. All Defendants herein entered into a civil conspiracy to act in concert, accompanied by a
meeting of the minds regarding concerted action, the purposes of which were to suppress and minimize
public knowledge of the rampant physical, emotional, mental, and sexual abuse of minor children in the
boarding schools by teachers, supervisors, and staff, and to take a uniform position and approach to the
handling of reports of abuse.
