Excerpt from Sue Scheff's "True Story"
Our experiences occurred with Carolina Springs Academy, one of many of their programs that are part of the World Wide Association of Specialty Programs (WWASP or aka WWASPS or aka Premier Educational Systems). Some of the programs names are: Cross Creek Manor, Cross Creek Center, Spring Creek Lodge, Tranquility Bay, Casa By The Sea (closed due to allegations of neglect and abuse), Academy at Dundee Ranch (raided and closed), Academy at Ivy Ridge (accreditation suspended in April 2004), Majestic Ranch, Pacific View, Midwest Academy, Paradise Cove (closed due to allegations of neglect and abuse), Morava Academy (closed due to allegations of neglect and abuse). I feel all of their programs are simply boot camps that claim internalization; however, lack it tremendously. Their specialty is cash cropping children; marketing and using a child are part of their strategy. They are, in my opinion, a children?s warehouse and a parents? escape from their desperate situation. Their deluxe *Marketing and Pyramid skills seems to be what they specialize in.

Parent's Escape From Their Desperate Situation?
Well ... I guess if all this is true ... nobody in their right mind would place their child at a WWASPS program, now would they?
