Didn't Ian August die in some kind of wilderness program, non wwasps? Bad thing, but it's a bit misleading. "

Anon, there have been other "preventable" deaths, including kids who have committed suicide while in a program (e.g. A 14 year old boy who hung himself while enrolled in Alldredge Academy and the 17 year girl who apparently jumped to her death at Tranquility Bay/WWASPS). Other kids have committed suicide shortly after leaving a program, including 2 WWASPS children (Christopher Landre and Corey Murphy). These are just a few tragic examples of cases where "bad judgment" may have played a role in the death of a child. There are more.

Sweetie,
You continue to misunderstand. It doesn't matter to me if you "listen" to me or not. And in case you missed it, I don't believe program parents "know" anything except what they are told and have read. The only thing they are "experts" on is their experience in seminars. And they aren't very forthcoming about that."

It seems you are talking about yourself ** I don't believe program parents "know" anything except what they are told and have read.**
That doesn't seem to be my experience in reading the posts from "program" parents.
