List of Known Abusive Programs
« on: August 19, 2006, 02:09:21 PM »
Following is a partial list of organizations and facilities which are known or suspected of unethical activities including neglect, physical and/or mental abuse, torture, rape, homicide, etc., etc.. Some are referral agencies which get paid to refer clients to various programs, many of which are known to be abusive. Many are affiliated or connected in some way to the World Wide Association of Specialty Programs and Schools, also known as WWASP or WWASPS, or the Straight Foundation, Inc. (formerly Straight, Inc.).

Note that this list is not a complete list of all organizations and facilities having a history of child abuse and other unethical practices, nor will it ever be. It is therefore imperative that those seeking help thoroughly investigate any facility they may be interested in, regardless of whether it has been included here.

Some organizations/facilities are duplicated because they are known by more than one name.

A few off the top of my head that aren't listed:

Skyline Journey (closed)- operating now at Distant Drums
Crater Lake School- formerly Camp O'Neal where 4 kids and 3 adults died in an unlicensed facility. Owner promised not to reopen, then opened in another state.
http://wwf.avigation.net/viewtopic.php? ... ght=crater
Woodside Trails Wilderness (closed)- currently operating as Eagle Pines Academy

A behaviour modification facility works on principles that, even applied carefully and "gently" run contrary to civilised behaviour, and the human/civil rights of a child ergo there are no good behaviour modification facilities.

Known?

I did not see Peninsula Village in Knoxville TN on your list. Licensed? Possibly expired.... Regulated? So they say.... Abusive? (quite possibly one of the the MOST abusive programs)

Make that Aldredge/Ayne. They changed their name too, running from the past.

Dundee Ranch in Costa Rica was not owned by Costa Ricans.  It was a full blown WWASPS facility owned by Narvin!

Well, the topic just says "programs". And you can at least get rid of the dupes, and the organizations that only have one program to their name when the program itself is listed. That is if you're going for an accurate count. Be sure to add the ones people have suggested, too.

It should have been obvious that I didn't mean "property of" or "created by", I meant owned in the videogame sense. WWASPS got owned by foreign governments.
