An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

There was an actual video of three large adults holding a child of 14 down until she lost consciousness. One of the staffers looked like she weighed at least 250 pounds or more. They just left her there - then realized she was uncounscious and tryed CPR - to no avail. Unbelievable.

There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is
proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in
everlasting ignorance- that principle is contempt prior to investigation.
--Herbert Spencer

I think the site should refer to the trobled teen industry since most of the posts here are about that topic. Just my point of view. Perhaps a new forum for troubled parents of teens.

for it is a truth, which the experience of all ages has attested, that the people are commonly most in danger when the means of insuring their rights are in the possession of those of whom they entertain the least suspicion.    
--Alexander Hamilton

I hope they find this website and others just to let them know they are not alone.

A vote for GW is a vote for America's Führer.

A simple internet search shows over 6000 links when tranquility bay teen abuse is searched. Parents who send their children there are definitely responsible for their child abuse. They'd have be either sadists, abusive parents or retards to sent their children to Tranquility Bay. There have been hundreds, if not thousands, of reports of human rights violations, child abuse, unsanitary conditions and psychological abuse. The parents who trust TB with their kids are truly nuts.  

If you think about why you hate me, you might find that it's not me.

Often when 18 years olds ask for their belongings they are told that the clothing, etc belongs to their parents. You really should get in touch with them. I'm sure they are concerned about you and possibly they will help you.  

Faith means not wanting to know what is true.

It's good that you are all sticking together. Remember this is Utah - home to hundreds of teen programs. It will be interesting to see if someone in this industry gets some jail time. So far few, if any have. In the case of the torture death of Aaron Bacon - one of the staff members who refused to plea bargain got one year - and served only 3 months.

It will be interesting to see what happens.  

Men had better be without education than be educated by their rulers.

I'd suggest you encourage your friend to do a total internet search - she really needs to be aware of their tactics. You need to see the information that ISAC has compiled about WWASP - particularly the documents showing how these representatives are nothing more than salespeople who get bonuses and dinner tickets for "selling" the programs to desparate parents.
