Rumor has it GOVERNMENT IS FINALLY GETTING INVOLVED. It is about time! This is hurting again, but Carey is right, too bad you couldnt stick to the subject under this thread. Inside Edition did a good job of statnig the truth and the TX family is sincere and sadly true. Atleast I believed it.

Deborah:
*** Does anyone know if the troubled teens, in not only WWASPS, but all the behavior change programs, have ever written to their parents talking about how abused they were just to come home and it was a lie?

You're kidding right? You're either new to the industry or baiting?

Consistent throughout the industry is the same MO for ensuring that the parents don't hear about abuse.

First, there are no phone calls for months while they are busy convincing the teen that their parents don't give a shit about them and conditioning them to fear consequences for "being out of agreement" (or whatever their particular term might be). Out of agreement would be reporting anything negative about the facility to their parent, or even uttering a complaint to a peer.

The teen has no access to a public phone, all calls are monitored. Any negative comment made after calls are finally allowed, is labeled manipulation. The call is immediately terminated and the teen is consequenced. While they have been brainwashing the teen, they are working on the parents, telling them to ignore what their teen says, and to report it to a counselor right away so their "manipulation" can be handled "appropriately". The parents nark on their kids because they want to believe the BS program line.

Incoming and outgoing mail is read by staff. The teen will never get anything out that hints of abuse. They might attempt a couple of times, but after limited calories, extra work detail, no interaction with their peers, etc. etc. they give up.

You can be assured there will be no visits for months, until they know the kid has been sufficiently brainwashed. They will loose their privelege for a home visit for minor infractions.

It's a closed-loop system. No access to the outside world. They come to believe that the program has ultimate authority over their lives, that their parents couldn't care less what's happening. Parents don't usually hear about abuse until much later, if ever.

My son told me, but he didn't tell his dad, and hasn't to this day, because he knows his dad is in his own lala land of make believe. I think his dad is representative of most program parents.

Now, why can't WASPies take that attitude with the kids in their care instead of beating them down all the time?

Deborah - that sounds like a god-awful program your son was in.  It doesn't even sound like a wwasp program either.  What was the name of the one your son is/was in?
