Re: Not that I know of Paradise Cove, that was  the WWASP program that was shut down in Samoa, right?  As I recall, the US embassy there finally got off its ass and decided to protect American interests in not having thousands of young people tortured and brainwashed and then shipped back home to be productive little cult-members. I believe I read somewhere that most of the kids there were rescued by the State Dept. and unfortunately returned to their parents. Similar to the Monrovia Academy incident, where most of the kids rescued by Czech Authorities ended up at other Teen Help concentration camps. Slavish discipline makes a slavish temper... If severity carry'd to the
highest pitch does prevail, and works a cure upon the present unruly
distemper, it often brings in the room of it a worse and more dangerous
disease, by breaking the mind; and then, in the place of a disorderly young
fellow, you have a low spirited moap'd creature, who, however with his
unnatural sobriety he may please silly people, who commend tame unactive
children, because they make no noise, nor give them any trouble; yet at
last, will probably prove as uncomfortable a thing to his friends, as he
will be all his life an useless thing to himself and others... Beating them,
and all other sorts of slavish and corporal punishments, are not the
discipline fit to be used in the education of those we would have wise,
good, and ingenuous men...
John Locke, 1692
