Spots - How did the phone call go? You said it was short.
Karen - I understand where you're coming from. Some kids wouldn't be trusted to go on an off grounds pass. The parents CAN do this, but face the consequence of the same behavior they were showing at home. What would the "run risk" be if they chose to do this. There's never any guarantee they won't run at any level, right? Any school/program? From everything I've read, it's recommended, not set in stone, as the parents DO have the right at anytime to do whatever they want. I suspect many have. I'd be interested to find out how it went.

At present I am trying to mend a broken shoulder and it is hard to type so I'll keep my question short.
My ex-friend iswas Roman Catholic as was her daughter she sent to Crosscreek Manor. Would her daughter be able to to confession? Would she be able to go to confession at the upper levels? Would WWASPS trust a teenager to go into a private
confessional at her place of worship? Somehow I think not, and this would still be another violation of a young person's rights being done by a loving, Christian TBS. I FORGOT, going out to church could be a run risk.

spots:
A parent cannot visit a child in WWASPS on demand. A visit has a set-in-stone progression. Should a parent be unsure and wish to arrange a visit, this response comes from St. George:
To do so will "VOID THE WARRANTY".
Doesn't say so anywhere in the contract. Common sense makes most parents think they can check in with their kids if they're worried. Not so. Ask any parent who has shown up at the door to pull their kid, and you will hear the same story over and over, different facilities, same story. [Try Lou Kizner's "Desperate Measures" article for a beginning primer on the subject, and then talk to the hundred or so parents who I personally have asked about pulling their children.] Staff will threaten, cajole, try reasoning, anything in their power to dissuade parents pulling their children. Many parents take police, private bodyguards, even goons who normally escort "to" WWASPS to ensure getting their childlren back.
I could give you about a dozen phone numbers to verify this, but you seem short on the inclination to investigate. FYI, I SUBSCRIBE to The Source and get the glossy delivered to my home every other month.[family member; asked Utah and it came]. If that is what you cite as proof-positive of virtue, I'd like to invite you to join with me on fundraising for Gray Davis' campaign in 2004. Just send me the money, and I'll make sure it gets to him.
If you feel a giant lack in your life, the empty void, YOU go to a Discovery seminar. Our whole extended family is very happy and healthy, with this one tiny exception: WWASPS. I do not need to attend a transparent rah-rah assembly to be fulfilled. Oh, and it's not such a well-kept secret ["Don't spoil it!"]. :wstupid: I have pretty definitive information on the adult version; the kids' version I will know about when my grandaughter returns.
You need to do a lot more investigating. Your only looking at the tip of the iceberg, like the Titanic.
