Laws are easily re-written-- but not the U.S. Constitution, which requires so much process to change that it's basically impossible for Arnie to even run.

Karen, they know what? They know what they read, but they don't KNOW it's truth. Only Arnie knows the truth. The things you say about wwasps here give you validation that it's correct, when there's always another side to every story and many more people have a completely different experience from what I've read at http://www.wwasprebuttal.com - Do I know what'son this site is the truth..No, it's my choice to believe it over what I read here.

You know, I don't care, and I don't see how anyone else could care, if a bunch of kids claim not to have had bad experiences---at the same time that other kids have been abused and neglected.
If kids are being abused or neglected in these places, I don't care how many kids there are---these places need better government oversight to ensure that the abuses are corrected and that the child gets the very basic goods and services that the parents are paying for.
And if the kids are being isolated from their mail---not allowed to send and receive it---in violation of federal law, then that violation of their rights needs to be addressed, to.
Kids may not have all the rights of full adults, but they DO have certain rights by law.
Cults often claim that their noble ends justify means that most of the rest of society find unethical, or means that are actually illegal.
Program parents' attitude towards cases of abuse seems to be that you can't make an omelette without making a few eggs.
That attitude is so far outside societal norms that it in itself substantiates a lot of what the critics of the programs have been saying.
