The Shocking Truth About the World?s Most Prestigious Newspa
Anonymous:
In reading the original post, it didn't really need to be said. Intelligence and judgment tells me he was asked to write about the wwasps schools and programs. It also tells me that these schools are not for everyone. When the community fails to offer anything but a slap on the wrist or juvenile detention or a band aid approach for a family in breakdown or whatever insurance mandates, we take it into our own hands. If it doesn't help, then we blame someone else and find fault wherever we think it will do the most harm. Tim didn't offer alternatives, only a balanced, but biased news article that opposes many, many more views than those that agree.
Trouble is that people still do believe what they read and this book could be a very good resource for those that have been burned by the press, which is probably a very high percentage. Will it change anything. Doubt it. Tim has targeted wwasp, however, there are many, if not all, other programs that kids and parents say the same things about when things don't go their way.
Maybe TIm thinks the wwasps schools are making too much money by effectively helping the kids and families. Why not put the focus on them so all those other less effective programs can get in on the profit that he's chosen not to report on.
Whatever his purpose, believing what I read is not my style without my own research - and not from the web or the media. Local law enforcement or local resources in the towns the schools are in would offer more truthful information. Graduates of the schools and their parents, and ask them both good and bad experiences. Better yet, GO yourself and talk to the kids that are there now and ask to see their time out areas, ask them about food, school, and whatever is important including use of restraints.
I talked to the kids without a staff person present at my request. I based my decision on my gut feelings to admit or not - the media had nothing to do with it. It's like reading stuff on this site or the web in general. It's a communication resource. It's not first hand information. If I want sensational or biased views, the web or the media is the place to go. If I want the truth, I'll go elsewhere. :wave:

if you talked to a child at one of the schools without a staff member present (if thats true), you talked to an upper level, that means he can be sent back to level 1 for telling you anything negitive. do you think hes going to tell you the truth? :lol: he has a choice to be upper level(talk, eat, get to punish the lower levels, ) or he can go back to lower level. what choice do you think any smart person would make????? now your advice might be good if wwasp would allow someone to walk in there, through every room and building on their compound and let a person pick who they want to talk to, then maybe we would believe you anon

Anon,
I agree. I had searched on the internet and found ZYPREXA is used for schizophrenia, parkinson.
My child had neither. The Doctor assured me this was "brain glue for kids that have smoked pot."
I questioned the Family Rep in detail etc.
I have sinced learned from the MONTANA licensing board attorney this Dr is not a Dr ,put a nurse practioner,whose license has been suspended due too the multiple complaints from Spring Creek Lodge parents.
I know better than anyone the horror I feel at having exposed my child to this insanity called WWASP. How dare they.
The trauma he experienced at Tranquility Bay Jamaica is irreversible,maybe irreparable.
I know I made a mistake in trusting the untrustworthy. I/we will never be the same.
Ignorant is putting it lightly.
I had not ever read a negative about wwasp prior to our enrolling.I spoke with many parnets whose children were doing well in the program.
(Now that their kids are home they say differently.)
I WILL HOLD them Accountable.

Anon, whose child was put on Xyprexa by a fake doctor, would you be willing to talk to the media about this? You would not have to use your real name. If so, could you contact me with a private message on this board?
Thanks!
