There's an online publisher, ezinearticles. The "parenting expert" in their stable is busy writing puff pieces about WWASPS programs.

# Carolina Springs Academy: We Both Worked!
[Home-and-Family:Parenting] We sat in front of Little Ceasars waiting on breadsticks and I knew what was going to happen to her this night. Mothers Day 2002 my daughter, Jessica, was escorted at 3 am to her new home away from home. It was the worst moment yet I knew at the same time there was now hope.
# Midwest Academy: The Gift of Life
[Home-and-Family:Parenting] My journey started when our son, Brandon, was escorted to Midwest Academy. A trip to Midwest Academy, located in the heartland of America was the greatest gift we could have ever given our son and ourselves.
# Academy at Ivy Ridge: Everyone Deserves Another shot
[Home-and-Family:Parenting] Someone once told me that the Program at Academy at Ivy Ridge is like basketball practice. They said life is the basketball game and practice provides time to prepare for that game. During practice we learn rules, new plays, new strategies, consequences and to love the game.
# Tranquility Bay: It Saved Our Family
[Home-and-Family:Parenting] I own my own businesses. Although I have provided well, I was not home very much. As our three children became teenagers the troubles and emotions escalated exponentially to the point we were all out of control. Our marriage was dying, and so was our family. Our constant fights with and about our kids were never ending. Unfortunately we did not find this life saving program until our second child, Megan, turned sixteen.
# Cross Creek: Heaven Sent
[Home-and-Family:Parenting] I call it "Heaven Sent" because that describes what Cross Creek has meant to me. It came into my life when I had lost all hope. I was at wit?s end. My daughter was lost in a world of selfloathing and depression. I had no knowledge of how to reach her. Like many parents, I had exhausted the path of psychiatrists, psychotherapy, and medications. Nothing was helping.
# Spring Creek: Life's Preparations
[Home-and-Family:Parenting] I became an employee of Spring Creek Lodge in June 2002. At first I was uncertain about being given the responsibilities as a family parent and flex staff. I questioned my capabilities of performing the tasks needed for such a job.
# Majestic Ranch Academy: Service Project
[Home-and-Family:Parenting] The day was bright and clear as two white vans pulled down the Wyoming country lane and into the yard of an older white home and yard with a picket fence that was badly in need of repair and paint.
# Darrington Academy: Harms of Faking PC1
[Home-and-Family:Parenting] WHEN I had gone to PC1 back in May of last year, I had a good time seeing my parents for the first time in ten months. I had discussed the issues about being adopted, how I felt I was looked at different, how I thought about running away when I was home, and why I had let the people, who did not truly care about me, run my life.
# Darrington Academy: Compliance Vs. Commitment
[Home-and-Family:Parenting] WHEN I first got here I really hated this place. It seemed like it was impossible to do anything. I went into my depression grungie and did the bare minimum in everything. I put forth as little effort as I possibly could. In all honesty, I just gave up. I had given up before I even started!
# Horizon Academy: Second Chances
[Home-and-Family:Parenting] MY name is Bryce T. I am 16 years old and attend the Horizon Academy. Previously, I attended Spring Creek Lodge Academy for around nine months.
# Midwest Academy: Ah-Ha Moments
[Home-and-Family:Parenting] The three months I have been here at Midwest Academy has helped me accomplish many things. One of the biggest things I have learned so far is to be real with myself rather than being something I?m not in order to just fit in. Before I came to the Program I was very “imagey” in the way I acted.
# Spring Creek Lodge Academy: A Forever Memory
[Home-and-Family:Parenting] Not long after earning and receiving Service Status, I was chosen by my Family Representative for a special opportunity and learning experience. Approached by Mr. Chaffin Pullan, I was asked to help a student, Norine Lopez, by joining her and five other students on a trip to an Indian Sweat Lodge. Two weeks later we were on our way to live and to learn.
# Spring Creek Lodge Academy: Muay Thai
[Home-and-Family:Parenting] Out of a small black personal timer on my waist, a shrill cry is heard; and it has not come too soon. For the row of exhausted students in my midst running lap drills, it is a sweet sound as it signals the beginning of a one-minute round of rest.
# Cross Creek Programs: It Finally Happened
[Home-and-Family:Parenting] Words cannot describe my life at home before the Program. I always lied about going to school. I thought I could be whatever I wanted; I didn?t need a high school diploma. Never did I imagine I?d be going to college and fulfilling my promise to my Grandfather.
