High Impact

I cannot speak for Karen, but I can use her terms: "I assume, I believe", which by and of themselves do not void any comments which follow, despite other poster's comments to the contrary....
OK, Karen has told me and the whole world several times over that she pulled her son when she finally put together enough "hunch" intuitive feelings that Dundee was not what she wanted to help her son. She continued on with the BBS, but was alarmed when former student Ryan Pink (look it up; his well-written statements are archived) came on the BBS with statements of abuse at TB. She added to the thread with questions about the allegations, as well as questions as to the Mormon influence (which went counter to her preferred religious practices). She was summarily booted within seconds of this posting.
Now, this isn't hard to understand, is it? Nothing really subversive...sorry. Not much fun when the truth is really simple, is it?

--- Quote ---As for weather or not it was a group decision - I know more about that than you do - and If you'll tell the truth , you'll admit I tried very hard to get you to calm down and back off so as to prevent your being tossed again. You wouldn't listen to good advice then, just as you won't listen now.

That is pretty funny. Who WAS giving me good advice? Who IS giving me good advice? You? :lol:
Let's talk about why I was booted, again.
It was because I wanted the pictures of High Impact given to the media. Sue, and others, were against that. They wanted to save them for the "class action" law suit.
Let me refresh your memory:
--- Quote ---Yes, I was removed from the list because the people on the list did not want to hear what I had to say about it, they prefer to keep the pictures to use in a court case that could take up to a year to ever even happen. A year is a long time for kids to have to wait to be saved, especially knowing there is evidence out there right now that would help parents to see the the truth now, today.
Most of the people on the list have kids who are already home, they don't see the need to move quickly to save those who are still in these programs. So the need of urgency is less important to them. The need for "revenge" for lack of a better word, is on the top of their list. I want accountabiltiy and I want to prosecute those guilty of child abuse but I want kids out of these programs and safe first. I want the parents to have all information that is available out there for them to view. Then we can go after and make accountable those who have profited off of this terrible "child warehousing institution."
I don't care what media they use, it does not have to be on Lon's website. However, I was asked by the person who owns the pictures to see if Lon was willing to post them. He said he could not and suggested that they be taken to the media.
I know if my boys were still in a WWASP program and I found out someone was holding evidence that would show me what can and has happened in one of these schools then I would hold them accountable for letting it continue to happen. I don't think you should hold on to evidence for a court case when it could help save kids today.

By the way, why were they released to Inside Edition now? Hmm...why did the "groups" mind change all of a sudden? Do you suppose all of the groupies now realize I was right? Looks that way.

PLEASE, LET'S NOT.
SOME OF US ARE SICK OF HEARING IT. WOULD YOU PLEASE JUST POST THE LINK TO YOUR PREVIOUS RESPONSE AND STOP TAKING UP BAND WIDTH TO ARGUE WITH THE SAME PERSON ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE REPEATEDLY.
WE'VE HEARD ABOUT THE PICTURES, ETC BEFORE TOO.
AS I RECALL, THEY CLAIMED YOU WANTED TO POST THE PICTURES ON STRUGGLING TEENS. I THINK THEY MADE A WISER CHOICE GOING WITH INSIDE EDITION...IF INDEED THE PICTURES IN QUESTION WERE USED IN THE PIECE.
