I wouldn't go looking to WWASP for help with this one. David Gilcrease, a software engineer is the one who developed all of their 'tools' in the seminars. I have been through them, and they are the most ridiculous, laughable scam I've personally come across. It isn't so funny when you are locked up and forced to go though, not funny at all. What's funny is to realize what idiots your parents really are, after a few years of reflection. The craziest people are the ones who buy into it. It's not therapy, it's not tools, it's nothing. Not sure how to explain it other than a scam. That's all it is."

Large Group Awareness Training (LGAT) is what the WWASPS seminars are all about. Junk, voodoo, science that makes otherwise lousy parents feel good about themselves ... or should I say, their magical child?
Check out the cult info websites for more info on LGAT seminars like est, Lifespring, The Forum, etc.

What about parents who put their kids in programs knowing the program is controversial? What kind of parent is that?

While I agree with what TSW says a lot of the time. This is where TSW and I clash. I believe a "Fruit of a poisoned tree" theory. Let me explain here. I think that the first of these Teen Help Programs were faulty, and I believe that all derivatives have been fucked up. We start with Syanon, moves up the tree to seed and straight, then we have WWASP CEDU, and from these groups we have break off small more independent schools and organizations. I think that the only thing that could make me think the industry was ok was if a new, progressively radical, type of program was started; Something that does not have its base in the abusive programs.

Bottom line is only kids who are a danger to themselves (suicidal) or another (psychotic) need to be placed in a secure (locked) facility and even then, experts say 90 days is about the average time needed to stablize them.
These long-term hyper-vigilent residental schools, camps and programs are nothing more than private, parent-funded teen prisons.
Problem is parents won't admit it ... they are too defiant ... and there lies the irony. Defiant parents, not teens, are what drive the for-profit teen help industry.
