CASA CLOSING
« Reply #45 on: September 18, 2004, 01:16:00 AM »
I had a son at Casa, thinking it was the right place to get him some badly needed help.  After seeing how they acted when Casa closed, and realized how hard it was to penetrate who this company really is I came to understand who they are and what they are about.  It's frightening.  I found a website where a woman has fought WWASP for three years and won a jury trial in Utah against them.  She knows the truth about the organization.  If you want more info, go to http://www.helpyourteens.com.

i wondered when Sue would show up in the mix. Pure is just anther WWASP if you ask me in my opinoion. Go to the main page, approved escorts? What is this? WWASP uses questionable marketing methods, what you just read in the above post is Sue Schef's version of questionable marketing practices. In my opinon PURE is no better than WWASP.

PURE is to WWASPS as the Soviet Union was to Nazi Germany. The enemy of our enemy may be our friend, but PURE is going to create its own problems down the road.

My son was at Casa, now at home in San Diego.  He got roughed up by the Federales when the raid happened; he has a huge lump on the back of his head and a black eye.  He said the reason lots of kids didn't speak up was because staff was in there with the Federales, and one thing those kids learn in there quick is, don't trust anyone!  Now he's ready to talk, and wants to sue the damn place, and I don't blame him.
Get this, his dad who sent him, won't even apologize, can you believe that?  He says he didn't know!  Well, I'm his mom, and when I was told where he was sent, I researched and found a ton of info on WWASP and their prisons.  Thank God for Shelby and ISAC, they are wonderful.

I'm so glad that you have your son back, that he is free, and that you're the kind of good mom to be supportive as he goes through recovery.

If you can get him to trust a *good* therapist, a *real* therapist (ie---not a program quack), he's going to need a therapist's help coping with the post-trauma feelings.  I'm a rape survivor, I know.

There are thoughts that it's natural for any survivor of this kind of thing---little niggling soul-destroying thoughts.  If you don't get therapy for them, they can nibble away at you inside, bit by bit, over the years and really screw you up.

A *good* therapist will know the kind of thoughts to look for (survivor guilt, etc.), will find them, dig them out, rebut them with good sense that somehow as a survivor you can tell yourself all you want but it isn't the same as hearing it from a trusted counselor.

Good counseling, early, after a trauma like this can cut *years*--sometimes decades, no joke--off your recovery.

I'm glad you have your son back.

Best wishes with recovering from the experience and getting on with your lives.

My son was at Casa by the Sea for a total of 8 1/2 months. He didn't like it there much but he says that he probably would have been dead by now if we had not sent him to a boarding school to get his life together.
We have a password that our son Kyle and I and father came up with long ago that if he was ever in trouble and couldn't talk about it he could just say the password and we'd be there to get him out. Not once did he ever use the password and believe me, we asked and his answer was no, he's ok and doing well. He never saw any abuse in the time he was there nor was he abused himself. The staff at Casa was very pleasant and helpful to the students and to partents. The only complaint I had was with the doctors and the treatment they were receiving was not quick enough for my liking.
My son is very well adjusted now. He is on a waiting list for Montana school just in case, but as well as he is doing now we will not send him back to boarding school. He acquired a lot of good tools to help him through life. I am very proud of him now.

I know first hand of the WWASPS "OFF-SHORE" jails they run. (My Ex works for them) They just lost a lawsuit in SLC in their effort to shut a parent up who spoke out about the abuse and also CASA by the sea was shut down last week...............JUST ONE OF MANY they have had to close.

These people need to be exposed for what they REALLY are..........
I will do that in a later post.

I just called the 800 number off a web-site for Casa to see what they'd have to say.  When I asked about Casa, the person who answered the phone kept trying to get me to give the name of the person I heard about it from.  She wouldn't let up, and I wouldn't give it to her.  She was telling me how great the program was, and I asked her why if Casa was closed, they still had a web-site?  She said 'maybe the people in charge of the web-site are too busy' to correct it!  Correct it???  I reminded her it was shut down by the federales!  I also asked her if she condoned being 'restrained'?  She said yes if it was needed!  I asked her if saying 'sh**' qualified, and she said yes!  She raved about the program and even offered that her son is in one!  She kept telling me how well he was doing, to which I asked why isn't back home then.  Her answer:  He hasn't been there long enough (ONLY 8 months).  I told her I thought that was adequate time for brainwashing.  she kept reiterating that I was apparently believing 'bad publicity' and that 'the press is known for lying and printing things that aren't true'.  
What a piece of work these people are.  Aargh!!!!
Why don't some of the rest of you call that 800 number, too, and give them some grief?  What can they do?  NOthing..... just like the kids in their 'facilities'...nothing!
end of my rant for now...

anita, you should have asked if there was some sort of discount for transfering children from casa to another facility of abuse under the wwasp umbrella?

Funny you should mention that, as WWASP did contact my ex (the one who put my son there) on his cell phone SEVERAL TIMES as he was, get this!, driving my son back home because that place was shut down.  They also called their house several times trying to get them to place him in another of their 'facilities'.  So, is it any wonder that my son immediately purchased a knife to carry with him?  He said he'd kill anyone who tried to take him back there, and he also speaks of getting together with some of the guys he met there to "go to Utah and kill that **** who did those damned seminars".  He certainly wasn't like that before he got sent there.  
His dad is basically doing nothing, not even trying to get my son's driver's license or passport back.  Guess the dad doesn't want anything to do with this place because he "lost a lot of money sending (our son) there".  Humilitation seemed to work there, sad to say.
