Positive Impact??

Greg, that is just it, you don't have all of the facts on Spots and the gang. All you know is what they post publically. What they do privately behind the scenes, is what you and all readers on this public forum do not know.

I agree, something stinks here. Smells like grease to me (as in greased palms???).

I'd like to know something about them others.
I started probably over a year ago asking PURE affiliated people about these other programs and have yet to get any answer at all to any question.
Here are some of the questions:
1) To which schools does PURE refer families.
While I still don't have any conclusive answer to that question, I did find (actually Deborah found and passed on to the forum) a post by Sue to the Bridge to Understanding from Dec `01 describing Skyline Journey as "part of The PURE Foundation"
http://www.bridgetounderstanding.com/cg ... i?read=460
Later, someone identifying themselves as LeeAnne said they'd never taken a referal from PURE because SJ wouldn't pay their fee. Doesn't matter.
Here are the schools listed in the WWASP v PURE docket from last December:
*Oak Ridge Military Academy
*Glacier Mountain Academy
*Sorenson's Ranch School c/o Vione Simkins
*Red Rock Canyon School c/o Melanie Habibian
*The Whitmore Academy
*Safe Harbor Haven
*New Horizons Youth Ministries
*High Top Academy
*Lott's Legacy Boarding School,
I can't be sure that this list is an accurate or even partial answer to my question.
Anybody?
2) How does PURE ensure the safety and efficacy of the programs to which they refer people?
Nothing but the sound of crickets and some tolling about mostley Carey in response to that one.
3) How, exactly, is PURE different from WWASP.
Anybody?
Now, are you saying, anon, that Positive Impact is one of the programs to which PURE refers people? If you can show me some proof of that, I'll add it to the list and look into it when I have time.
The only voluntary urine sample they'll get from me is a taste test

Thanks Ginger, I too would like to know more about these programs. We all know that WWASPS ain't the only gig in town. There are hundreds of programs all pitching their "features and benefits" on the Internet 24.7.365. and apparently, benefiting from the hard work (sic) of ed cons and independent referral agents steering the current crop of troubled parents their way ....

Well, that is interesting. Spots, are you a member of Pure? Are you assiting in removing kids from WWasp and placing them in Pure "approved" facilities?
If so, why is Pure's brand of behavior modification better than WWasps?
Spots, help bring me around to a better understanding of who I am speaking to and responding to. I will not take other's words for your intentions but instead care to hear it from your mouth.
Thank you.
