World Wide Association of Specialty Programs and Schools (WWASPS) / Ivy Ridge/WWASPS Sensationalized News Reports
« on: November 30, 2005, 12:05:00 PM »
I'm sure that she is legitamately worried about her son. If he really needs to be intervened with though; a wwasp facility is not the place"in my experience" as I've been to two of them. The program is often given credit for "changing" children enrolled. I think that oftentimes they are taking credit for simply warehousing the teen until they grow out of the self-destructive phase they are in. The majority of wwasp students fail upon return. I know this because I've talked to many. Some do do well probably because they just grew out of their old behavior patterns and realized they wanted more out of life. I am successful but I do not credit wwasp with that. I credit myself. WWASP is a cult they try to break you down and then make you conform to their doctrine. Many people become so institutionalized while under their care that that are barely able to function in the real world afterwards. Some go running back and apply as staff to the program because they are scared to face the world and fear living out of the program eviroment. I wanted to at first and was even offered a job but eventually I found my own way. They have no effective treatment plan for drugs or severely disturbed children. They are a for profit warehouse.

"Is there anything constructive your daughter loves to do? What are her dreams? Maybe after some intense family counseling involving both of you, you could take her on an exciting trip (her choice of destination, of course). If you consider how much you will spend on a "program", taking a few months off for an adventure is cheap by comparison. There are still many interesting & safe places in the world to see and enjoy. You sound like you really love your daughter, perhaps it's time to be her friend as well as her mom. No program, regardless of how non-abusive, can take the place of a loving parent. Please do not abandon your daughter to strangers.   "


I think that is one of the best Ideas I've heard.

"Go ahead and register on strugglingteens.com  You will get much better information there. You can inquire about specific programs on the program section, or post your story on the other section and get private responses from parents as well as posts responding without mentioning program names.

Lon is an excellent educational consultant.  You might want to speak with him.

It is absolutely not true that the parents on that forum get referral money.  They are there to help other parents and get support themselves.

This board is simply a bunch of losers."



 That's an absolute lie that parents on there don't get referral money if they recommend her to a wwasp program.

Open Free for All / Mormon Man Jumped From Truck Following Argument

He probably never thought he was gonna die. He was just taking the high road and riding his high horse. In that religion utter contempt for others not following the guidelines (ie swearing)is not only normal but highly applauded.    Had he survived I'm sure the next time he was to speak in church he would refer to this story with a big pat on the back for himself for being so diligent and dedicated on his quest to abolish all the evil influences of satan.
