I did have the chance to meet with Kat today and she was not aware of NYRA close association with CAICA, which I was not aware that she was not aware of. We removed our link from CAICA maybe a year ago, and for good reason. I will grant Alex the benefit of the doubt that he doesn't completely comprehend how a program that commits less abuse, can actually be as abusive. His major was political science, not psychology after all. We have graciously accepted the opportunity to explain the phenonmena of residential treatment/gulag schools to the membership of NYRA, and I would expect after our thorough explanation of the issue that he and the rest of the membership of NYRA will choose to disassociate themselves from CAICA once they understand how CAICA enables programs that are in fact just as bad as WWASP programs.
I'm reminded of the very long and involved email exchange that swirled back and forth between Heal, Cafety, Tausa, and Alex regarding almost this same exact issue. Mr. Palicz has had plenty of time to do his research. He claims he speaks for children, yet he has an association with an odious organization like Caica?
He should have done his damn research a year ago. Still that was then and this is now. Unless Mr. Palicz, and the NYRA, is willing to immediately withdraw his support of CAICA after this educational opprotunity to occur next weekend, I feel it imperative that CAFETY withdraw itself from the alliance they have forged with the NYRA and Mr. Palicz immediately be voted off the Cafety board of directors.
Failure to do so should result in a boycott against cafety. How exactly that works on an internet forum is beyond me, but I'm sure some clever chap can figure all that out.
I'm certain though the news about this devil's alliance should and will be brought to the attention of AStart and other organizations to allow them the chance to distance themselves from both Cafety and the NYRA if they feel the need to do so.
