To Dysfunction, do you always have to be so dysfunctional, even when agreeing with someone?
"You hit the nail on the head, stupid?"  How rude!
To the Anon who tried to post positive about Cross Creek...PLEASE do not try to justify these inappropriate behavior -mod hell holes!  I did not need to read just Maia's book, I've actually done plenty of reserch, as well as actually working at one of the infamous CEDU schools for a short period of time.  Confrontational, bootcamp treatment is child abuse.  Isolating students is child abuse (and against the law in California). Ridiculing or cursing at children is child abuse. Restraint is child abuse.  The tactics used at WWASP schools is all child abuse. These students are "incarcerated"...my classroom, in a public school setting is "structured" ...there is a huge difference.  The only thing that this student was saved from was more abuse at the hands of his father, who put him at that school because he liked the lack of laws and governance.  He didn't care if his kid was being abused...he abused him himself.
The only thing learned from abuse is how to abuse others.

How do I get in contact with you or find you on AIM.  I am a little Internet illiterate.  I really need the info...you can e-mail me at [email protected]

Just because a parent belongs to an Attachment group, as the parent who posted here previously lauding these Gulag camps, does not mean that they are totally commited to the best interests of their children.
Just look at the number of deaths that have occuried from "bonding" and "holding" experiences in the name of attachment.  Many states have outlawed this type of bogus therapy after children died at the hands of their "therapsists" and I use that term loosely and these parents hell-bent on making their children "attach."  In reality, parents who stoop to this level are control freaks who are trying to recreate someone in their own image.  This doesn't happen with birth children.  Many of these parents do not adopt for altrusitic reasons, rather, self serving and narcissitc reasons are their motivation.  And then they become angry that this child won't bend totally to their will and become a clone of themselves.

I FINALLY saw this tape on the news this AM  in CA. When I, mentioned to my husband that I had been reading about it for some time...I had to explain the whole fornits thing.....his comment...shut the fuckin place down!

The system used to work only for foster care...with foster parents receiving a check from the state.  However, new legislation has gone into effect that provides parents of ADOPTED children with the cash to do what they will with their adopted children.  
These parents, in particular, fit the bill of wanting a subservient child who will be eternally grateful for the beatings and meager bread he has received.
It's not an uncommon things among adoptive parents.

I just had the parents of one of my students send their son to Cross Creek.  I know about the WWASP organization and I am very concerned about his safety.  (Of course, I was very concerned about his safety at home, too and it is no wonder that his parents picked a WWASP program!)
