Well like the majority of people familiar with WWASP, it is quite clear to any reasonable person that all WWASP facilities are run for the profit of a handful of people regardless of what the corporate papers say.

With that in mind I don't have to wait on Dundee findings to be sure it was abusive. I can look at the findings of the 4 other programs that they have had shutdown.

Do you know what would happen if a parent did any of this to their own kid? They would be reported by a concerned teacher, or the teen's doctor and Child protective services would find ample cause to remove the teen from their custody.

Then the criminal charges would be filed and they would very likely be convicted. They could then spend 2-12 years in prison with people who by a very high percentage were abused as children. We all know how popular those "parents" would be.

Now multiply that by several thousand and come up with a fitting sentence for, Atkins, Ken Kay, and the Lichfield family.

Why on earth would you wait for the results of an investigation if your kids were potentially at risk of serious harm?

Would you want your school to hire a teacher under investigation for sexual abuse-- accused by several credible witnesses who had made their similar accounts public?  Send to a pediatrician under investigation for malpractice, who had had several deaths?  I'd feel sorry for such professionals in case the accounts proved false, but I wouldn't bet my kids life on it and put the professionals' profits and careers first.

I truly believe in the principle of innocent until proven guilty, but why put my kids at extra risk?  Especially when there is a prior history of proven abuse and the only evidence for efficacy of the program is a few anecdotes from people, not independent data.
