illegal things at WWASP

Sorry to hear about that. What do you mean by working the system for $$$$? It sounds to me like they do well enough for themselves, especially if they are sending him away?
It is common for parents like this to totally blame the child for all the problems in the household while taking little or no responsibility themselves. You see it time, and time again.
Good thing is, they sent him to the right place. I mean they want him emotionally beat into being subservient, right? Well, WWASP will handle all that for them. God forbid they all take a trip to the family therapist and work on all the issues at hand.
Well, good luck. I went through this program, and I think it's a real joke. They have no clue on handling kids. I was there 15 years ago, and I thought it would be a better place by now. I thought that they would be turning a larger profit, and maybe putting some money back into the program to make it a better place for kids to be at. I was wrong. It's become more, and more like a kiddie prison filled with stories of abuse. The punishments are much worse, and the walls are higher.
Instead of taking the money and investing it into just a few schools, and making those schools top of the line, they choose to open up 8 facilities, with very little money, and poor staff training. You see, by having real therapists, and trained staff, maybe some tennis courts, a soft ball field, or perhaps horses? These kids might have a chance at bettering their lives.
Look, Bob Lichfield could clean up his act. They all could if they really wanted to. But, they choose not to. They choose to pocket the money.
I really hope he does the right thing. For starters he could take the 10 acres he owns down in the valley, and turn that into a activity center. It might be larger then 10 acres, I can't remember exactly, but he did purchase the property right next door that used to belong to my therapist Dr. Dave Goodwin. Unless he's split off the acres of land he has into seperate parcels he could easily do that. He has no other neighbors, so it's not like this would be disruptive to them????
Whatever, it's frusterating, I feel for these kids. But, greed is going to be what kills them. WWASP will be squashed. I just wish it would come sooner then later. Especially when I hear what the kids are going through now.
wild thing:
The system used to work only for foster care...with foster parents receiving a check from the state. However, new legislation has gone into effect that provides parents of ADOPTED children with the cash to do what they will with their adopted children.
These parents, in particular, fit the bill of wanting a subservient child who will be eternally grateful for the beatings and meager bread he has received.
It's not an uncommon things among adoptive parents.

It's a sick world we live in. I'm not sure what you can do for him???? I'm sure if you are a teacher, as you say you are, then you can figure it out. There must be a ton of resources at your fingertips. Use them!!! For his sake, use them.

Seems like sleeping in the hall is the least of their problems. These places should all be burned to the ground, and the people who created them should be behind bars. If family members who sent their kids there knew about the goings-on there, they should be charged with child abuse. This is sick.

You should be ashamed of yourself for recommending your student to this program. It's torture. Would YOU send your own child there?
