Ms. Messing gained enough composure to coldly inform me that all communication was to go only through the parent.

All the programs have this down to a science. Can you imagine the headache they would have trying to brainwash not just the parents, but the grands as well. Their numbers would drop dramatically.

My mom saw my son twice during the 22 months. Once at my dad's funeral, which took an act of congress to get him to. The other was a brief holiday visit late in the program. He was never allowed to call her or anyone else in the family.

My child was at TB when High Impact was still open. Postings about referrals from the program (especially Casa and TB) to High Impact were very common on the BBS at that time. In fact, Jay Kay suggested that my child be sent there. Instead I brought him home and within a week of our return home HI was closed. Many parents were immediately defensive and HI and told their stories of how wonderful it was for their children. Within a few days Dace Goulding was quoted in an article (I think it was in a San Deigo newspaper) stating emphatically that there was no connection between Casa and HI. Knowing that was such a blatant lie I was amazed that no Casa parent on the BBS commented on that statement. That was my wake up call.

Karen, wasn't your son referred to another program by PURE?

Dace wasn't actually lying. He may not have been forthcoming with the connection, though.   High Impact was not a part of WWASPS - yes I've researched this info somewhat.  The connection was former employees of Casa by the Sea that started it and was an alternative - a boot camp - to motivate kids that weren't working at their WWASP school.  Some of the schools referred kids there with the parent's agreement.  There were many other students that were there that were not affiliated with WWASP.  Since I wasn't there, I'm only reporting what I've read away from the WWASP reports.
