AS a parent, I didnt sign up for my child to be abused or lack the sanitation they need to feel clean and feel better. Sure, they all had problems, that is what cuased us to find help, BUT we didnt ask for our child to be treated less than humane. Dumb, you are right, we were dumb to fall for the WWASPS SHIT, or line of SHIT. Call me any name you want to call me, I wanted real help for my child, and now I pay on a loan that will ever be a reminder of the SHIT I fell for.

You're kidding, right? You're jokin? You really think that using old'n moldy Suave is good for you? Especially when you barely get a shower  anyway? Oh wow... well I guess if you just brush your teeth with Borax, they'll be fine too...? You don't really understand how nice it is to receive a bottle of Johnson's baby shampoo, even, because you know it will at least clean your hair out. I can't tell you how many times we were quarantined for lice outbreaks. You can't just hand over some sick old bottle of shampoo and expect it to do the trick. Especially for the ethnic-haired folks... but the shampoo thing doesn't even scratch the surface. Another thing about hygeine is that I had porcelain skin when I entered the program and the disgusting deposits in the water, all the silt and sand and whatnot, they don't bother to purify it.... left me with hundreds of blackheads and horrific acne that has plagued me for the last year, and hundreds of dollars wasted on facials, chemical peels, etc. Call me spoiled if you wish... but that is just the beginning of the reprecussions of the awful treatment, and lack of basic care I endured while in a WWASP facility.

Deborah:
Interesting. At the facility my son did his 20 month stint, parents had to purchase toileties, laundry detergent, etc from the facility's list of approved products. Nothing came in from the outside.  Like parents were going to spike the mouthwash or send contraband in care packages !!
Suave, which is .99 at WalMart, was $5. Don't have the list in front of me, but that one I recall. Even if they purchased it retail, that's a hefty profit, under the guise of protecting the child.
I was continually amazed at how ignorant my ex was, but then he could afford it. Money was not an issue.

Melissa - are you saying that if you had not been there you would not have gotten the acne?  How do you know that?  I do not agree about the lack of showers, personal hygiene.  In fact, I don't even believe you... based on my own experience.  You may get people on this board to believe you, but those of us that know better won't believe a word you say after this last crap.  Make it up as you go to fit the thread.

Deborah, and the facility your child was in is??  It wasn't wwasp, correct.  So why do you post about it on a thread that is clearly related to wwasp?  Name your program.

Ummmm... okay? That's exactly what my doctor said.... dirty water. No one in my family ever had any history of acne or any other dermatologic ailment. That's why you get acne, my friend... If you don't wash your face with soap (beacause you don't have it), you bathe in dirty water, you don't keep your hair clean,and off your face, you get acne. I'd be more than happy to send you pictures of what I look like now...and what I looked like before the program. I'm not saying I'm a full-blown pizza face, but I definitely incurred some serious damage as a result of being in the program. How ignorant of you to tell me that I "make up" my information on this thread... you're more than welcome to read my articles in YM, Teen Vogue and The New York times...it looks as everything I've ever said stacks up accordingly.
