Hi, Guest,
The topic of ASTART vs. CAFETY vs. ISAC, etc. has been discussed at great length elsewhere on fornits, and if you want to explore further, I would suggesting reading and posting there. I think you will find it informative and have others who want to discuss with you. (Psy, sorry to bug, but maybe you know where to look for the links to those CAFETY discussions?)
I'm glad to see that the FTC is taking action of any kind to raise warnings about the many unsafe practices in programs. Together with the foresnic investigations and reports documenting widespread abuse and death in facilities from the Government Accountability Office (GAO), this is solid confirmation of what so many here have been saying for so long: These programs put children at grave risk and use deceptive marketing practices to get money from parents.
Thanks, psy, this needed attention drawn to it as a topic.
