Treatment Abuse, Behavior Modification, Thought Reform > The Troubled Teen Industry
INSIDE EDITION
Deborah:
Face,
The parents, mom particularly, was extremely remorseful. She said she went to the internet and found WWASP, sent her "out of control" daughter there based on a website and video- didn't check out the facility. She cried and said she was sorry. I think she genuinely regretted her decision.
Her daughter told a little about her experience and showed the OP position. Said that her arm was twisted until it popped out of the socket.

horrifying. those people need to be put in jail.
Carey:
I found the Texas family to be very sincere and truthful about their experience.
Ryan, on the other hand, has managed to cast a shadow of doubt upon the real truth and the real problems and issues with these programs.

I can't get over those of you who are now hollerin' High Impact wasn't WWASP.
Of coarse it was.
Narvin was well on his way to his own High Impact when Dundee went down. Its were they held the kids who wouldn't sign the 'I love it here' document after the raid.
Why do you want to keep making excuses for such hateful brutality?
Why aren't you outraged at how you've been lied to and manipulated by these obscenely greedy, callous and sadistic profiteering pirates?
Ask yourself, Why am I defending them? Why aren't I angry? Why can't I even consider the possibility that I've been taken advantage of and my teen assaulted both mentally and physically?
There is a reason why.

Seems kind of biased to me Carey. What did Ryan say or do differently than the girl? She said the place mistreated her, etc. Her parents regreated sending her there. Same with Ryan and his mother. Hhhmmm, I don't see much of a difference.
You've had a chip on your shoulder for him and Coldwater for some time now. Get over it, geez - he's certainly NOT saying those places where good. But I guess he didn't come across properly in your eyes. What would YOU have him do differently? You seem to always be critical of what others are doing, yet you never offer a suggestion or solution.
But honestly, I don't think anything he does will be "good enough" for you. Kinda pathetic. So are a lot of you on this board, all you do is complain about others. At least Ryan is out there trying to make a difference. Sure, he may not be perfect in his means, but he's learning, and we can't expect a 16y/o kid to carry himself like a 35y/o adult might. (although based on the behavior of some adults that post here, he's doing pretty well). We all make mistakes in our lives, and we learn from them.
It's kind of like the person that always complains about how much they hate their job, or is unhappy in their marrieage, but never does anything about it.
My feeling is, do something positive or shut the F*$# up!
