Project 2: Midwest Academy Exposed.com [research phase]
firstresponder:
not sure if anyone else is near iowa but around here no one likes it when people get to protesting let alone just showing up and handing out pamphlets. now if we can get this web page up and running i would recomend sending a letter as well as a link to the des moins (sorry cant spell) news media. they may eat this up and than the town would look bad for having so much controversy. i can really see this turning to our advantage.
kev (antiWWASP.com):
found a real program staffer statement which Jens of SPFT responded to actually way back when... i traced the ip address (whatismyipaddress.com) to the area around midwest, i believe this was an actual staff member that made the statement that follows... If nothing else we use it against them?

Please do. There isn't much information out there about Midwest at the moment so my feeling is that most of the information gathered will come from former students.

I've noticed that the sites for these "academies" have started to show signs of acknowledging the surge of bad press and calls for accountability throughout the industry. Here's a excerpt... while it's not gone altogether, at least for now, they know they are being scrutinized like never before... :
"Boarding School for Troubled Teen is a big topic in recent news. Society is demanding that boarding schools for troubled teens be more transparent. We couldn't agree more. We believe boarding schools for troubled teens need to be more open to gain trust from its clients and society as a whole. The bottom line is getting troubled teens the help they need.
We want to get right to the point with this web site: The purpose of this web site is to get your teen the help they need. We offer help for troubled teens in the form of powerful and dynamic emotional growth programs. Both us and the schools we work with want your TEEN TO BE THE BEST THEY CAN BE."
Maybe we could do something like: The point is that you as a parent, in a most vulnerable stage in your life, must not be convinced that these kinds of places can actually help your child. Well documented research and reporting on these kinds of facilities tell of untold numbers of torn families, broken souls and hordes of problems sometimes leading to premature deaths from gross negligence and suicide.
