HELP I NEED INFO FAST
Badpuppy:
http://www.isaccorp.org/wwasps/WWASPCrimeReport.doc is well worth reading. In the ISAC documents are also sworn suvivor statements from ISAC I don't remember the exact location but if you call them up they will tell you. Take a look on the ISAC documentpage A-M for the lawsuit filed against WWASPS. The documents regarding accreditation in NWAS should be filed with the state and therfore subject to the freedom of information act. Attempt to find out any false information submitted to the state. Get a copy of the WWASP contract and show areas they are not in compliance with APA standards, or even NATB standards. Also very important, is the facts that they use troubled kids to discipline other troubled minor in a way that affects length of incarceration and prviliges. See if the Board of Eduction thinks that is a good mental heath practice since even prisons don't allow inmates to weild that kind of power.
I think they have a particular vulnerability because they transfer kids to Tranquility Bay and therfore implicity endorse that program and its methodology. This is case where the ownership actually admits to having a girl lie on her face for 18 months, daily use of pepper spray. Does the school really want the potential liability of people whose mentality approve of these practices?And by tranfering kids there, they approve of these child care practices including sending kids beyond the protection of US laws. Look into the fine levied against The Academy at Ivy Ridge. Cross Creek and Ivy Ridge use the same type of "self guided methods" They are by law supposed to keep certain kinds of eduation statistics, including regular testing and post grad education and job placement statistics. See if they are vulnerable by not keeping records or fraud in this area.
Also in the PURE litigation there is trial testimony which could be valuable to you. These are just suggestions. NOT A LAWYER. Try and get some friends together to devour and regurgitate relevant material. Very sorry for going off on you in your first posts. Glad you made back. Using this board for suggestions and ideas is really what its all about.[ This Message was edited by: Badpuppy on 2006-05-04 12:11 ]

Wild thing,
FYI at the WWASP vs Pure trial (nondisgrunteld)ex employee Holly Mock, testified under oath ,that she had the responsibility to confirm WWASP "schools" were in compliance with academics requirements so thta they could recience accredidation.. She testified that more often than not this DID NOT occur.That special Ed requiremnets were not in place. No IEPs etc. So on & so on & so on.
Contact the Attorny General office in New York he can confirm the academic fraud .
During Seminars the facilitators suggest(aggressively)that parents contact their State Education Dept and request funding. How to go about doing and more.
A month after my son was in SCL I called our State Dept of Education to ask about financial support. They said no way!In fact the man I had spoken with had had a nephew at Casa by the Sea in Mexico.A WWASP program closed in Sept 2004 due to "allegations" of abuse. He stated the kid came home with an unexplained broken thumb.
Its too bad I didnt get it back then. I could have saved much familia pain.
They will lie and say otherwise.Its not true.Their school quality is less than bogus.

What are the academics, if any at this school.
If there is an academic day, what does it look like? :scared:
Do they use an isolation room?
If so, for what length of time?
Basically, I need the real dirt on this school...also
I know many, if not all WASP programs have been shut down over seas... Anyone know which ones and when
Thanks to all who respond, you may have saved a life."

Is the issue money, or saving a life? It sounds as though you want dirt in order to smear the school and avoid paying, and you're appealing to everyone's fear and creating some high drama in order to get that done. Has it occurred to you to go visit the school?
If you accomplish whatever you're after here, I hope you don't end up hurting a family that's already stressed.

Neither. The issue is massive fraud which your organization regularly practices.
Getting the kid OUT of CCM just may save a life though. Your program is incredibly destructive and run by a bunch of quacks. This is why you've been sued dozens of times. This is why you've paid millions in settlements and judgements. This is why countries with no human rights laws close your facilities for rampant abuse.
Tell me, how do cattle prods, stun guns, pepper spray, beatings, starvation and locking children in dog cages foster "emotional growth"?

Note the deflection - Lets not answer these questions. That would supply our detractors with dirt. Lets make this about saving lives verses greed - yeah - And lets flip it so They appear greedy! Ha Ha yeah - lets pretend we don't care about money - we just want to help families. Yeah - that might work. But what ever we do - lets not answer these questions!!
