BTW, the reason I posted this information was partly a desire for revenge, due to the fact that Ms. Bock has run roughshod over this entire forum, twisting every possible post down her own crooked road, out-shouting other useful information valuable to parents considering incarcerating their children in WWASPS. With the intelligent, passionate, and "let's go to the root of the problem" that Antigen, Deborah and others have been adding these last weeks, we still have to contend with the prominent "Who Told On Me?" from Carey. You only have the attention of the curious for a limited amount of time; don't blow it on petty tantrums.

Spots, it is an important question. Carey didn't bring it up. Someone else did. The insinuation is that, if Carey got her info from WWASP lawyers, then she must be sympathetic to them. Likewise, if others are getting their information from PURE, well then one would assume the same kind of relationship between that person and PURE.

You say:

How do you know that Carey is the one twisting information? Not saying she's not. Just asking, litterally, how you come to believe this.

Carey has posted some information that might be helpful to parents who are considering using PURE's services. No one has really refuted those claims or offered any good reason to believe otherwise. The stock response is "Yeah, but, Carey is a ....." That's just not a staisfactory answer to any of these questions. That's an ad hominem attack that, whether you intend it or not, works to draw attention away from the issue under discussion.

Look, if G.W. Bush said the sky is blue, I would believe that the sky is blue. Not because he said it, that wouldn't even weigh in. But because I know it to be true. It would be foolish to assume that the sky is not blue just because Bush said so, even though I think the guy's a pathological liar.

Yeow!  It seems we are on somewhat different planets here, all of us.  I read Fornits every couple of days or so, and today this thread was full of "Spots, who told you!!!".  Now, I felt it appropriate to respond to the badgering.

I really can't imagine, Ginger, where you thought you needed to defend yourself and say you were not about to coerce me into ...I dunno, something. I'm missing something if you need to explain the rules and etiquette of this unmoderated forum.  

My quote from Carey's post on another thread?  I felt she stated pretty clearly that she feels it doesn't make any difference where information comes from, if the info itself has insight into Sue Scheff that we need to consider, regardless of the source. My response to that is, "then leave me alone, Carey, if you really don't think source is important". What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

I gambled on posting about Carey's payment, as I trusted my source but was not actually there myself for verification (although this will be public record eventually).  Carey jumped right up to the plate and said it was correct...so, my "gossip" suddenly went to "truth".  

My appreciation to you was for your confirmation that you knew I did not forward Carey's ss# to anybody (I'm not sure how you did, but, hey.)  Your comment, "How do you know that Carey is the one twisting information?", referring to my quote "Ms. Bock has run roughshod over this entire forum, twisting every possible post down her own crooked road, out-shouting other useful information valuable to parents considering incarcerating their children in WWASPS" has absolutely nothing to do with whether Carey's information about PURE is valid or not, and I'm surprised you linked those thoughts.  I have often complained that every post of negative information about WWASPS' facilities in the past 3 months has been bracketed by Carey's (and some Anon's) bending it back to "Yeah, but PURE is as bad as the worst of the worst".  When you complain of responses such as "Yeah, but, Carey is a ...", you point out that "that's not a satisfactory answer to any of these questions. That's an ad hominem attack that, whether you intend it or not, works to draw attention away from the issue under discussion."  Isn't that exactly what I have complained about, worried over, fought with Carey about on this forum?  
Since she went on the PURE attack, very little is being said about the evil which is Worldwide Association of Sprecialty Schools and Programs.  An "education consultant" may hawk a bad product, but I've got a real zinger here to tell you about, one that hammers the airwaves with false marketing and lies that need to be refuted.  Scope of access (Internet and print market flooding),  proportion (number of kids...2000+ vs. whatever PURE works with) and the harm (years of really bad across-the-board behavior towards teenagers), it seems to me, make WWASPS a far better target than PURE.  It's like saying "Hitler seems to be really a bad thing" and having someone jump in with "Yeah, but I hear the North Koreans are really bad too".  I'd like the attention to be perfectly aimed at the most-dangerous, most-prolific enemy, and that's hard to do with Carey re-directing attention.  

FWIW, we received the best Christmas present ever.  On Christmas Day, we drove 7 hours and brought our grandaughter here to live with us for the forseeable future.  She will start the new quarter in our school district, probably home schooling to attempt to catch up on all the credits she lost while at Casa by the Sea.  After having her live with us just this last week, her many short comments confirm every single detail of bad stuff that I have documented from others (kids and parents) at Casa, plus more.  We don't "grill" her, but listen and believe what she says, something her mother refused to do.  She is such a worthwhile individual; she deserves recognition for her strengths, and cannot blossom while basically locked in her bedroom, a converted detached garage behind her mother's house. Mom made a mistake, sent her kid off to a bunch of thugs and believed them over her own daughter, and now can't deal with the guilt and reality.  So...this child shall now lose the family that she wants so badly, and have to make do with a couple of old farts who have always loved her, along with 3 aunts, 6 local cousins, and even neighbors and friends who followed her ordeal along with us.  We hope this will suffice.

Congrats. Hope it will suffice?
I don't know what your relationship with PURE is but I appreciate that you didn't use their services to find a "better" program for your granddaughter, and that she'll be living with family and friends who love her. What more could one ask for on Earth in 2003, woops 2004. Happy New Year to you both.

Sue,

It wasn't important where it came from back when it was first posted.  I was not refuting the validity...I was making a connection between you, the other anons and Sue.  

It is important now.  Why because you see, it is once again, Sue not wanting to play by the rules that she seems to think she gets to make.

Well, it looks as if Spots can now join the guilt by association club. Lee and Co have been members a long time. I include myself in Co.

I have no association with PURE at all.
I am however a proud ex Trekker.

Carey brought my name up in her deposition with frequency. What she had to say was degrading and slanderous; and while much of it was just her warped opinion, based on her extreme levels of hate; other statements were known by her to be false.

As a result, I was informed fairly early on as to some details of her deposition. I was asked to provide a statement on the true facts of some matters she chose to lie about.

I was also told about the 12.5; which information I shared with all those I thought would want to know. I felt it was coming from a credible source and so worth telling. It appears I was correct.

I assume some of those I told, then told others; as such is the way these things often go.

Did you not expect as much?

Big Whup!  You people ever heard of patting each other on the butt, privately, instead of boasting about your affiliation with some private ex listserve and how good you are at hanging out your dirty laundry all over this forum?  It is understandable why Carey Bock has a gripe, OTOH you people who claim to have been caught up in the crossfire are not smart enough to preserve what little integrity you have left.

Spots, ya did it again, you made me cry.

And I think maybe I spotted the point where we're missing each other.

I don't think WWASP is the worst organization in the industry. I'm pretty sure they're the biggest player on the field, at the moment. But it's far from a case of just one bad apple.

Check out Devlin's site:
http://mountainparkhorrors.netfirms.com/

That's just one. Then there are all the Straight spin offs still in operation. Then there's the whole parent referal cottage industry that seems to have sprung from the old TOUGHLOVE hate rallies. Is it a coincidence, do ya think, that National Parents in Action has just received federal grant money to set up 10 Parent Corps operations around the country?

Here are two interesting searches:
National Parents in Action

Coincidence that they have an organization in Australia, where Mel Sembler served as US Ambassador under the first Büsh administration?

If it walks like a goose, looks like the Stazi, sounds like a power grab for the hearts, minds and bodys of America's youth, the it might actually be something like that.

PURE is part of that. Carey has firsthand experience with PURE just as you have firsthand experience with WWASP. That Carey is critical of PURE does not mean she thinks WWASP is OK.

But you're right. I wish we could get more info on the industry flowing through here again. Though I still think it's very informative for some people to look over brawls like these because these are par for the course in this industry. But it's not the whole story. And thanks, Deb and others, for continuing to provide informative and thought provoking material as you do.

All penalties for drug users should be dropped...Making drug abuse a crime is useless and even dangerous...Every year we seize more and more drugs but the quantity available still increases...Police are losing the drug battle worldwide.

Actually, I don't believe PURE is a part of grabing at the hearts, minds and body's of American youth (or their parents) What I've read of PURE, they are in business for one purpose, to defame wwasps.  Hey, look at it!  There are TONS of other programs out there, but their agenda is against wwasp programs.  They refer to programs where the kids have the same allegations of abuse - all kids that don't want to be where they are will say the same things, from what I've read.  I don't really see where wwasp is attacking other programs?

I also don't see where SPOTS has any real knowledge of wwasp programs.  It's all heresay and inuendos.  BTW, if her granddaughter was being held captive at home, then are her parents being arrested?  

Carey, on the other hand has first hand experience with both.

No, I don't think it's exactly like that. Whether or not PURE defames WWASP depends on your definition of the term "defame":

1 archaic : DISGRACE
2 : to harm the reputation of by libel or slander
3 archaic : ACCUSE
synonym see MALIGN
 
I think #2 is closest to the legal term of art, right? Whether or not what they say about WWASP is true is another matter. WWASP keeps on saying that all the critics are liars and all kids who complain are just being manipulative. How much sense does that make? No kid ever has a legitimate reason to complain? Does that magical rule reverse itselve at age 18? Upon becoming a parent? What? Please explain if you can?

It seems clear to me that PURE is using WWASP's bad reputation to garner business. But PURE did not invent WWASP's bad reputation. Neither did Tim Rogers or Tim Weiner.

A slipping gear could let your M203 grenade launcher fire when you least expect it.  That would make you quite unpopular in what's left of your unit.
