Treatment Abuse, Behavior Modification, Thought Reform > The Troubled Teen Industry
Just A Thought

An aspect of this whole discussion that seems to be absent, is the fact that there is one reason and one reason only why WWASP physically, psychologically, and emotionally brutalizes its victims and its because SOMEONE pays them to do it. Without that SOMEONE, WWASP would not exist. And as long as that SOMEONE exists, there will always be WWASP-like creatures who will be more than happy to take their money and do their bidding.
I am personally of the belief that parents who claim to be WWASP's victims is the biggest lie of all. The only victims here are their children who have been twice victimized.
Those of you who truly seek justice should spend a bit of time thinking about who the REAL criminals are here. The only way to ever kill the monster is to cut off its head.

i agree here. WWASP is evil and on their way down. But who is waiting to take thier place? PURE, John Bundy (Parent Help) and the many otheres out there like them???? The problem begins at home and if the parents was really parents they would handle the problem themselves, not hire some "escort" to come kidnapp their kid and take them to some private warhouse that abuses children!! As long as there are parents out there willing to pay the escorts and the programs there will always be some kind of WWASP out there!!! Personally i think all parents who skirt the law and send their kids off to be abused should loose all parental rights and should be sent to JAIL for facilitating child abuse!!! The the next time some parent wants to send their kids off they will think twice before doing so.

Not to excuse the parents who definitely play a big part in the problem, but groups like WWASP and Straight and CEDU are con artists, their profession is to trick people.

Aren't the parents handling it by admitting they need help? Don't they love their child enough to give them what they all need? It's completely obvious that those that think parents that do this aren't being good parents haven't lived their life. Society is not family friendly anymore and you can't just LOVE them out of the bad behavior. Dr. Phil had a couple on last week that lost their son to a drug overdose, they saw the signs and thought they could love him out of it. They did everything they had the knowledge to do and their son still died. In retrospect, they felt that if they had given him over to someone who could help him, they would have. Hindsight is 20/20.
These programs are not abusive - WWASP, Provo Canyon, CEDU or many others like them. What I hear is people trying to outdo the other in who was abused the most, how, when, why..drive your BMW - bitch moan and wail -
These programs are NOT for everyone. They're not for parents that choose to believe that rules and consequences are not for their child. That they know more than the staff. They're not for parents that expect perfection and that mistakes aren't made - we're humans right?? They 're not for parents that all of a sudden believe what their kid is telling them about the food, the living conditions, etc. If they lied to you before they left, would they all of a sudden be honest? Hell no! They will tell you anything to get you to bring them home. It's not for parents that cringe at the thought of their kid having to earn priviledges. Did grounding work at home? What else didn't work?
It is for parents who love their child enough to take a stand for their lives. The whole family.
If you want fluff - find fluff - there's plenty of those to waste your money on or that the state or your insurance are happy to provide. The bottom line is the kid has to do the internal work themselves, not you or FOR YOU, the staff, or their peers...for themselves. Until that happens, you'll have a whiney, powerless dependent the rest of your life. If you want this kind of dependence, don't ever send them to a wwasp or similar program. You may convince other parents they are wrong to seek help, help they've already done and it didn't work for lack of agreement by their teen, lack of structure, etc., and when you find that a kid has actually run away, become pregnant or died because they felt too guilty to do what they knew they needed to do, I will not want to be in your shoes.
My kid graduated from a wwasp school several years ago. I'm not rich, I'm a single mom. I invested in my kid's life. Despite what you think I believe, it's NOT the only option. Do your homework and when a school feels right, go for it. Just be committed 100% to go the distance. Give your kid the opportunity to complete something so powerful that they never thought they could or you thought YOU could. Life is good.
