Title: Who is Narvin Lichfield? Where does he work?
Post by: Anonymous on June 26, 2007, 12:44:37 PM

Narvin Lichfield is a brother of Wwasps' founder. He started a Wwasps program in South Carolina, Carolina Springs Academy, then moved to Dundee Ranch, which opened in 2001.

....

Students said Mr. Lichfield set up a system typical of Wwasps programs. Children were divided into six levels, the lower ones forbidden to speak freely or raise their eyes, the higher ones free to discipline and punish inferiors. A muscular cadre of minimum-wage staff members enforced the system. Communication between parents and children was barred or closely edited. Parents were told that complaints from children were manipulative lies.

Academy directors came and went. Amberly Knight held the job from March to August 2002. She resigned, and early in March this year wrote to the Costa Rican minister for child welfare, saying that "Dundee Ranch Academy should not be allowed to operate because it is poorly managed, takes financial advantage of parents in crisis, and puts teens in physical and emotional risk."

There were claims from both parents and detainees about food being withheld as punishment [2]. Former students complain of emotional scars due to their stay there [3].

Sounds pretty shady Narvin, have you seen the WWASP documentary?

Ah yes - Narvin's Spanish horses.  I wonder, is he still bringing in wayward teens to muck out his stalls?  Also - looking at the crest he is displaying - has he converted to Islam?

Although Narvin Lichfield seems to have some horses in South Carolina, Lichfield Farms proper appears to be based in Costa Rica. Is he still running a program on that property?

This (very long) clip mentions a "new, consent only" program, some female students in the pool are spoken to early on in the clip, but I can't tell how old it is:


Someone more knowledgeable care to comment?

Narv still loves Costa Rica despite his detention there, I guess.  His horse farm is on the Pillars of Hope/Dundee Ranch property.

http://teendiscoverycostarica.com/abstract.amp (http://teendiscoverycostarica.com/abstract.amp)

It looks like he takes kids on a short term basis now and puts them through Discovery/Focus seminars and has them do encounter groups with the PIllars of Hope kids.  Who wants to bet they get recommended for a prolonged stay?  It would be nice to hear from one of these kids.

Founder uncertain about future of boarding school in Abbeville County
http://http://www.independentmail.com/news/2011/feb/05/founder-uncertain-about-future-boarding-school-abb/?partner=RSS

Abbeville County sheriff’s deputies stopped Lichfield near the campus of the former Carolina Springs Academy boarding school, which Lichfield founded, north of Due West at 3:30 p.m. Jan. 28, according to sheriff’s office records. Lichfield was taken into custody after the deputies determined he was driving with a suspended license and that his green Nissan sport utility vehicle was uninsured.

Saying he was unaware that his license had been suspended because of an unpaid parking ticket, Lichfield also said he has been unfairly targeted by the Abbeville County Sheriff’s Office.

Good riddance, you fat fuck. Don't open the fucking shithole. Close it down and die quietly. Or noisily. Either way.
