If it drives you crazy reading that it might be possible, imagine how you might feel to later find out that it IS true. You can not say with absolute certainty that is doesn?t happen. The fact is, you are not there 24/7 and do not have a clue what is or isn?t said to your child.
Anon Friend, it is true. It happens a lot. They are told worse things than that you don't want them around and that you hate them. I've talked to a lot of the kids who've been in the program; and they commonly explain that they were told their parents didn't want anything to do with them; hated them; even signed documents allowing the staff to break their bones.
Its all part of disolving their identity to make them more readily brainwashed. Do a little reading on brain washing; mind controll, and behavior modivication.
You have no idea what your up against. You have a right to know. Educate yourself; they are not going to tell you the truth and if you stick with it; you will soon enough lose all ability to descern the truth even when it smacks you in the face.
Are they still advising you newbies to take a vacation and send a post card telling the kid how glad you are they aren't there? Why do you suppose they want you to do this? Hummm?
Its all part of the process.

Deborah, others, etc., please! Why the attacks on a new parent? You know, it gets better and better everytime I read this board. A parent comes on this board because her ex actually thought it was fact that kids are abused! You all are hurting more kids, not physically, but for the parents that need help and won't do it because of the agenda of a few and the fear you put in parents. Must be a proud moment for ya'all that this dad actually got sucked into it. Didn't go anywhere did it? He should ask you for reimbursement for the time it took to check it out.
My relative has been home for well over 2 YEARS and he is the same kid, minus the attitude and the drugs, not perfect, and still says it was the best thing for him at the time if he's asked. 2 YEARS!
Imagine the brainwashing really worked, huh? LOL!!
WWASPS mom - if you don't agree with the activitist or the disgruntled on this board, get ready for your buttons to be pushed, or better yet, go read a good book.

All I can say about these programs is I've heard a hell of a lot of satisfied parents----and damned few satisfied young adults five years down the line.
The satisfied parents mostly come across as control freaks---and no control freak ever thinks he or she is a control freak---but the people around him or her do.
The only program kid I have close knowledge of was lied to to get her there, and has two adult sisters who won't even talk the mother (custodial parent) and stepdad anymore.
Estrangement predates shipping this daugher off---but looks to be building just fine towards ultimate permanent estrangement of that basically normal kid from her basically loopy mom.
The only reason her real dad didn't object was because the program would at least get the kid out from living immediately under the loopy mom---and he thought that just might be an improvement.
Mom's rich, dad's poor, no way dad can get custody.
And she is not allowed to send or receive mail.
It's not WWASPS, it's a different program.
Oh, and I don't give a good goddam if an individuals friends are "druggie"---federal law says you can't stop US mail from one person to another person, regardless of whether the recipient is a minor or not. Once there's a stamp on that letter and it's mailed, anyone who obstructs that mail from getting to the addressee is in violation of federal law.
I don't give a good goddam what you think you "ought" to be able to do to your kid. Federal law says you can't do that. The law needs to be enforced.

Mail not getting to the recipient? So how did the friends get the address to send that mail? If they don't have an address, they don't get the mail...duh! Doubt the parents gave the friends an address and directions to their kid! Think about it.
Satisfied parents, satisfied teens. I don't get the "satisfaction thing anyway. I do get that the kids NEVER wanted to be there, not even when things were going good inside the program. They wanted to be home, which is change, cuz most of them didn't want to be at home when they were "home." Go figure!
I don't experience the satisfied parents as being controllers, I experience the negative posters on this board as controllers. Obviously if a dad believed the crap enough to really
think his kid was being abused, then you've done a good job in your own form of brainwashing and mind control. :rofl:
