Regarding Ryan...

***Deborah - my take is that Narvin showed the reporter around after all the destruction. He said they normally have 12 bunks, so it's possible they moved beds from another area while they were repairing...just a thought.

Get the transcript. The interviewer commented on how crowded it was, pointing out that there were 15 beds. Narv didn't say they had extras in there. He said that yes, there were 15, but they never had over 12 kids in there at a time.

***It's common knowledge that parents are at Casa by the Sea on a daily basis

It's common knowledge to Who? How many parents drive or fly to Mexico everyday to see their teen? How many ever even visit except perhaps for graduation? How many enroll their teens without viewing the facility, like the Houston woman in the piece? I don't believe parents are in there everyday unless they are volunteers working there who support the status quo.
Bet there's a few making airlines reservations tonight.

Yep, mothers and fathers can be distraught when they learn that they *ucked up and sent their kids to be abused.

Dwayne Lee, Admissions Coordinator ? Parent Resources Hotline
Hurricane, Utah 800-793-5156
[I called their web site number to ask some questions about the Parent Resources Hotline, identifying myself as an educational consultant. The person answering the phone informed me he was only authorized to send a packet of information and did not answer any of my questions. The packet I received included a photocopy of a letter from Dwayne Lee of Parent Resources Hotline, a Sample Daily Schedule for WWASP Programs, a brochure for High Impact, a Video Tape and a brochure for the World Wide Association of Specialty Programs: Casa by the Sea, Carolina Springs Academy, Cross Creek Academy, Spring Creek Lodge and Tranquility Bay. Apparently Parent Resources Hotline exclusively markets High Impact and WWASP programs.-Lon]

The audiotape sent with the promotional packet consisted of a number of testimonials by parents and ex-students, mostly, however, apparently referring to the long-term WWASP programs rather than High Impact. A price list was included for the various WWASP programs, but none for High Impact.

And the HI website. There is no link to "About Us". No mention of staff, who they are, or anything... all that's there is a little about HI and links to all the WWASP programs.

Hey, how do you know what Narvin didn't say?  It looked plenty edited to me.  Whatever...

You haven't convinced me that High Impact was wwasps.  You've stated that Parent Resources exclusively marketed High Impact, along with wwasps programs.  Why didn't the other marketing companies..Teen Help, etc., market High Impact if it was wwasps.  It wasn't.  

Mom was crying because she believed her troubled teen yet again.  

It just doesn't wash...too one sided, but good for the cause anyway.  Maybe we can get other to believe it ...dunno!  We can sure give it a shot!

And, yes I do believe there are parents at Casa by the Sea everyday.  It's only a short drive from San Diego.  So, why not.

KEEP BELIEVING ANON IF IT MAKES YOU SLEEP BETTER. TOO BAD THE KIDS CANT SLEEP IN PEACE.  YOU ARE NOT FOOLING ANYONE.  SO IS A JOB AT RISK, OR THE POSSIBILITY YOU MADE A MISTAKE AS A PARENT?

Deborah:
His response regarding the crowded sleeping quarters was not edited for god's sake- it was real clear and there were no gaps between the question and response. Even at 12, it was TOO MANY for that size room. Most states require something like a minimum of 80 sq ft. Did you see ANY personal effects? Where were their clothes (uniforms), shoes, pictures of family. For all intents and purposes, its a concentration camp.

Too one-sided? Narv declined. I'm sure they would've given him equal time and probably put on some of his groupies had he responded. Perhaps he was afraid he'd have to answer difficult questions on national TV?
