Genreal Discussion on the WWASP Parent's BBS??
BuzzKill:
Whats the deal with taking down the BBS?
You program parents - tell me - what do you think about this? Is it really gone?
Found this on a Blog site.
WWASPS/Teen Help - Utah, Montana, New York, etc...
In one of the most communistic moves to date, the General Discussion Forum on the parent's BBS has been deleted.
Not just sanitized of any posts that might raise concerns among half-baked parents - it's completely GONE.
There had been LOTS of chatter on the forum about Academy at Ivy Ridge not being accredited, being fined by the state of New York and being declared "education fraud" and my guess is that whomever cleans off those posts every day couldn't keep up and decided to just get rid of the problem altogether.
I can understand that.
I'm sure the LAST thing WWASPS/Teen Helps wants is for all 2,500 or so families involved to find out that the accreditation is worthless, the diplomas are junk, and they are being financially exploited.

The BBS from my experience was a GREAT tool for WWASP Program to perpetuate the lie. The BBS parents ,some old timeres continue to expound on the virtues of the Program. If ever a parent had a question they had a pro program solution. The explanation goven were always satisfying to the concerned person. Negative was never allowed.
IMO the BBS is the reason we stayed engaged for as long as we did.
If the BBS has been taken down it is as Buzzkill stated . The facts about Ivy Ridge would cause concern. Not for too long though.
An example would be Dundee Ranch and Casa by the Sea. Once a parent is inducted into their cult, it can be hard to see through the trees.......

Oh WWASPS, what is it with you and accountability? You speak of children needing to be accountable, yet never the parents, or :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
this should be gooooooooooooooooooooooooooood

The parents who fall for this program b.s. hook, line and sinker must feel like real smucks when they finally wake up to the reality that they, not their teens, are the troubled one(s).
The teens are the smart ones, from the first day they arrive at "the program" they know it's no club med and/or an exclusive boarding school. Hell, even their friends know the score ... as evident by the many postings here on Fornits written by kids looking for their lost friends who have been "sent away" to a place they know sounds more like a hellcamp than a program for "struggling teens".
Thank God for forums like Fornits where the truth, bitter as it is to swallow, is on the menu 24/7 for prospective parents to consider before making a decision they may regret for the rest of their lives.
