Sexual Abuse at Carolina Springs Academy
« on: November 19, 2002, 11:03:00 PM »
I was on the boarding school truth chat and a girl named "jamie" (16) reported being sexually abused there. I think she said it was the husband of a director. She is home for a "homepass" and is going back friday. Since I don't know what part of North Carolina she is from (the school is in SC) I doubt my call to the child services in NC will do much good in getting to her before she is sent back. Her parents are telling her that she will graduate in another month but she knows that if she goes back they will probably keep her there to prevent her from talking. Her Mom is trying to stop her from calling the police. That makes her an accessory (and of course subject to being drawn and quartered if I were in charge)

It is good to know that the girl has not been so throughly thought reformed she does not know which end is up anymore but if she is sent back they will probably keep her till she is 18. I have her ip address (an aol registered one) so if anyone thinks they can get aol to release that information on what account was using it at the time I will send it to you.

Hmm.  I wonder... Why can't the child protective services in Abbeville County, SOUTH Carolina be in on this?  As far as I can tell, that's where the CSA facility is and where the abuse allegedly(*) took/is taking place.

Abbeville County Department of Social Services  
903 West Greenwood St.
Abbeville SC 29620
(864) 459-5481
Hrs: Mon-Fri 8:00am-5:00pm  

Good luck, FK.  Wish I'd had someone like you on my side when I was 16.

FK,
In my dealings with ORS in Ga. I learned that any Joe off the street can file a report of "suspected" abuse. The individual may also remain anonymous. If you want a follow up report you must identify yourself.
Go for it. I would if she had told me.
Even if it's not true, it's worth investigating. If it is true, that young woman will be more than grateful that a caring person on the outside advocated for her. Sounds like her parents have bought the program line....ignore negative accusations.

I did call the NC people and gave them her ip address and the other info she gave me. I am hoping they will investigate and find her before she is sent back. She seemed on the edge about either calling or hoping that if she just goes back quietly she will be out in another month.

I hope they find her too and that someone advocates for her. It really blows my mind that a parent would ignore sexual abuse allegations. I would take my daughter to the dr immediately. If the claim was false, it's time to look at why your child can't be honest or feels s/he has to lie. If it is true, then charges need to be filed. Period.
The ignorance in the world astounds me.

I doubt anyone in her position would lie about such a thing when they are supposedly only a month from "graduating". Making accusations like that is a sure way to get set back.

Besides I am sure there are plenty other things she could claim as abusive about that place so why make such an accusation that has so much social stigma where the victim is concerned.

Hi, I have a daughter that I just put in Carolina Springs Academy.  I definitely want to know if what you were told is found to be true.  My daughter is 16 and just went about two weeks ago.  I do know many of the children there do complain and make different allegations... in order to try to get their parents to let them come home.... however I have never heard of anyone making any sexual abuse allegations... I would definitely go and get her today if I found that to be true.  Please let me know what you did find out.  I know that I am going to call DSS there to see if any allegations or charges have ever been found to be true.  My email address so you can contact me directly is [email protected]  Thank you for any information you might have.  I am a very concerned parent.  Thank you for posting your concerns.  I was just doing a random search on Carolina Springs Academy ... when I found your website posting.  Sincerely, Anna-Marie

I never heard back from the authorities or the girl. I can only assume that she was sent back and probably won't get out till she is 18. Or at least until she is totally broken.

Whether or not there is sexual abuse there, there is most certainly abuse in general.

These programs abuse kids. Carolina Springs is a prison camp for teens. These programs prey on desperate parents. They only care about getting your money and your unconditional trust. They are a con game, a dangerous one. Because while they are helping you to feel like you did the right thing, they are keeping your daughter in a kafkaesque concentration camp.


Its a teenhelp/wwasp concentration camp and here is a good example of WWASP "treatment" direct from 3 survivors, in sworn testimony.

Rape and assault does occur in the WWASP programs and the parents (the mother in the case I am speaking of) do cover up.  I have an email from the mother of a girl who confirms that an assault and rape occured, and her own daughter was the victim, in the WWASP school in Costa Rica.  This mother refuses to come forward, she claims that her daughter is seeking justice and that it is a private issue, but then again, the mother is an employee of one of the WWASP affiliated organizations, Resource Ralizations.  If she is seeking justice does that mean she accepted a payoff to keep quite or does that mean she is pressing charges?  Did she lie to me about what happened?  I don't think she did. When she confirmed it she thought I was one of their programed parents and that I would understand the need to keep it quite.   Was I a witness to what happened? No.  But why would the mother lie about it then vs why would she lie about it now?

This mother who posted the other day responded to me with the typical WWASP form letter crap. The documented abuse and violations by the school were all when the school was first opening. And she insists that this place is better than her daughter being dead, in jail, pregnant, drop out, no future.


Well just bury your head in the sand and pretend your daughter is not gonna have post traumatic stress disorder from your abuse. And it is your abuse if you know that she was sent somewhere abusive and you refuse to take action.

Every day I begin to agree with Dr. Drew a little more, when he says you ought to need a license to have a kid today.

I have to ask, what about the individual who committed this crime?  Let him go free to do it again?  These people are unbelievable.  I have a hard time feeling sympathy for the victim.  Her not pressing charges, is like giving him a free pass to do it again. In someways she will be responsible if he commits the same crime again.  I guess the victim and her mother do not think everyone needs to be held accountable.

Are you saying the FBI has an interest in protecting the academy or that you have reported the academy to the FBI.

WWASP is big and very influential. They are the largest single contributor to the republican party of Utah, but I have to doubt that the FBI has any great affinity for them. Essentially they are little more than an organized crime ring and FBI agents love invoking the RICO statute especially when it can become high profile like a case of thousands of children being held captive and abused over nearly 2 decades.

Historically speaking, facilities like this often are favored by local authorities because they bring jobs and money to rural communities. In addition they often grease the palms of the local police by paying them to pick up runaways and quietly bring them back. The local sheriff in the area around Alldredge Academy made a few extra bucks by keeping kids at his house while they waited for the next hiking trip to start.
