My beautiful Granddaughter is still in one of those places (WWASP}, not sure which one, but probably as bad as the rest of them. I cry for her every night, and miss her so much that my heart is permanently broken. She is and was a
good little girl, constantly berated by her mother and stepfather. In any case, she does not belong in a "behavior modification program", she belonged in a loving home, which she did not have. Numerous relatives asked to have her come and live with them, because they could see the mental and emotional abuse she was undergoing in her home. Of course, her controling and sick stepfather, rather than admitting that the entire family had a problem, chose to send the poor child to a WWASP jail. I am currently seeking legal remedies, for each time a child is sent across state lines without due process, it is in violation of the law. Unfortunately, the laws are ignored because the victims' families are usually wealthy (they have to be to afford these "kiddy jails") and the authorities do not want to make any waves....just look at the amount of money these places donate to political pursuits...mainly those that promote softer child abuse laws, and politicians who support that premise. The entire situation is digusting, and all of the kids who have been so abused should stand up (if they still have a functioning brain) and file a class action suit to both sue their parents and the facilities that abused them. I would suggest contacting attorney Thomas Burton:
