My 15yo grandaughter returned home recently. Although she attained only a Level II over nearly 10 months and had not been afforded a phone call home nor any other uncensored contact(she wasn't working the program...Yaahhh!), her parents were finally invited to a PC1 seminar at Casa by the Sea. During the weekend, her parents found her to be the same wonderful child she has always been. They returned home, loaded up the minivan with the siblings, and went back down to Mexico to pick her up.
Her case managers had routinely suggested that she was still "not getting it", and payment for ensuing months would be necessary. WWASPS was obviously going nowhere; she was not in need of their Magic Wand ($$$). She is now enrolled in a charter high school of 150 kids and doing well.
She called us and talked for nearly 3 hours. We look forward to seeing her and her sister over the Thanksgiving vacation. We can have direct email access, uncensored snail mail, telephone calls whenever we want them (we will pay next time!).
This phone call was a time for "I love You's", and there were lots of those. Later, there will be time to talk about what really went on. Many things were mentioned which need further talking. Many things happened which need to see the light of day.
I can say, one thing happened just before she left that convinced us that WWASPS is worried, that they know who we are who oppose them, and they are worried about our influence. We have more power than one would imagine.
Life goes on. Life is good.
