The
anti-WWASP forum have threads about their new marketingname - [urlhttp://www.troubledteenprograms.org/]Teen Revitalization[/url].
It seems that they are about to develop their programs and perhaps take programs in, which does not use the mainstream model. That could leave them possibility for growth like Aspen Education Group, which offers a large number of different programs.
Also you have to keep in mind the financial crisis. Where did the parents loan the money and what did they put up as security? If houses in general have less value the parents can loan less money for a private prison for their child.
Here in 2008 we have seen several programs shut their doors. Of course the hearings in the congress did theirs but the financial crisis and development of the youth justice system does influense the decisions of parents. If you have a youth justice system that generally allows youth to take accountability for their actions and in return leaves them with community service and counseling, a lot of programs could close tomorrow.
In the future the WWASP name will disappear. The torment by youth connected to this name is just too public known for them to use it. They will try to keep their programs running until the job situation is better.
