Treatment Abuse, Behavior Modification, Thought Reform > The Troubled Teen Industry
Here is my take on the subject.

Carey, you took money from people who torture children and take advantage of parents who see themselves as desperate. Selling your emails to WWASP gave WWASP a potential cause of action against all of the people that spoke in an adverse way about WWASP, when they thought they were in a safe harbour. How could you possibly think any of that is right?
People, good people, would have taken the position "serve me with your subpoena and I will fight it". Cooperation with the devil, even under threat, is not justified.

It cost me roughly between $25,000 and $30,000 to remove my boys from Dundee. Part of the cost was tuition for Dundee that the judge in my court case imposed on me as a result of the boys removal without going through the proper channels (through her that is). She thought the boys should stay there. The other cost was as a result of legal fees and the actual trip to Dundee. I figure I should not be responsible for any of it. I never wanted any part of this industry...however, those who claimed to have helped me do.

OK, fair enough if that's how you feel. I don't agree. I wouldn't have taken the money knowing where it came from even if I did feel that I was owed...I agree, you shouldn't have had to be responsible for that money you laid out, but THAT wouldn't have been my way of recovering funds. I also think though, that other people would have been able to at least tolerate this if you would concede that MAYBE, at the VERY LEAST, it looks kind of bad and sends a very contradictory message to people who have been subjected to the abuse in those programs. I understand that you don't feel that you did anything wrong and that WWASP COULD have gotten the info in other ways, but they didn't...they got it from you and paid you for it and that makes quite a few of us "survivors" angry.
I'm not judging, just an explanation as to why people seem to be so upset over this.
A government resting on the minority is an aristocracy, not a Republic, and could not be safe with a numerical and physical force against it, without a standing army, an enslaved press and a disarmed populace.

So, you couldn't get your money back thorugh legal channels and that justifies doing it behind the scenes and hurting others. Sounds like you had bad legal counsel and bad emoitonal support. But, in all honesty, you should have had some innate feeling guiding you not to do what you did.

Carey,
Your statement "Ameberly gave her statenent to protect Sue" is FALSE.
Amberly gave her statement to Pani when the Costa Rican Gov came into the situation. It was then safe for her to do so. Sue had nothing to do with it. Sue Flowers maybe.
You're trying to simplfy the truth by creating false insinuations wont stand up in court.
It didnt last week under oath..
To say Trekkers goal was to put kids in other Schools programs is a LIE.
Quit tellng lies.
