NY TIMES: Charges of Cruelty at a Jamaica Discipline Academy
Deborah:
Who wants to guess the percentage of kids at WWASP that have already been abused at home or elsewhere. Probably about a third of them in my opinion. And that is probably double for the girls. [addsig]
I don't know, but I bet its high. And I think programs appear to work for that high percentage who were abused prior to program. Those who the programs don't work for appear to be those who are not accustomed to abuse and refuse to be treated with such disrespect. They seem to be the one's who are more frequently punished. They still have a will intact which the program must break. I spoke to a young man incarcerated with my son who said he prefered to be there. Imagine what the reality at home might have been like !! :scared:

Having just checked the WWASP home page, (www.wwasp.com) I noticed that tranquility bay is no longer listed among the WWASP affiliated schools. What's up with that?

I just went to the wwasp.com site and found Tranqulity Bay still listed when I hit the "Schools" link on the menu bar.
Not sure why it wasn't listed when you checked - but it's there now!

WWASP is certainly teetering on the brink of collapse. This class action lawsuit is going to be their long slow death like a knife twisting around. They are not even creative about their lies, I mean these guys are major political contributors and they just don't understand that it is better to not comment than to just spout a very transparent lie like the claim that Kay has no idea why all the WWASP programs share the same 2 offices right next to each other and why they all refer to the same mailing address and phone numbers.

If there is a class-action lawsuit, why is there no publicity about it similar to other class-action announcements published in major newspapers and/or on the Internet?
