Good idea. I'd suggest errecting a bill-board or placing an add in the local paper that says

End Institutionalized Child Abuse at Spring Creek Lodge and other teen programs
Then have a picture of the hobbit with a child in it.  

Involving the press is great - You can also write your own letters to the editor condeming institutionalized child abuse - especially now that there is a new bill in the House.  

Don't laugh when you leave this courtroom, thinking you have beat the system because you have looked these things up yourself. We are going to get you down the road.

While Spring Creek may be the only known WWASPS facility, there are some other questionable programs in Montana as well; Montana Academy, Monarch and Mission Mountain, to name a few.

Also, keep in mind Spring Creek Lodge is a big employer, the town of Thompson Falls is ridiculously small. The also offer 1 grand to anyone who catches a kid who runs!

Well there ya go - that's why it's still operating - for political and economic reasons. This is why WWASP programs in the USA continue to thrive.  They are a major employer of small towns and they donate heavily to local politicians.

That worked to some degree in St. Pete with regards to Straight.  I was driving down the street and damn near broke my neck when I saw a billboard that was put up by some other survivors.  It was accompanied by an article in the St. Pete Times and that prompted me to Google Straight and led me here and a few other places.

Legalizing drugs would simultaneously reduce the amount of crime and raise the quality of law enforcement. Can you conceive of any other measure that would accomplish so much to promote law and order?

Really?  Wow!  :eek: Hadn't heard that before.

Faith, as well intentioned as it may be, must be built on facts, not fiction- faith in fiction is a damnable false hope.

I went to Spring Creek and graduated.  There is no beatings, or not letting kids eat.  That is kids that left that are just bitter.  Those kids just want attention and they get it only by telling those horrible stories.  

I have read alot about these stories.  I am not going to disagree that some of the stories are really bad.  But in NO way did any of that stuff happen while I was there.

I just got out. It isn't abusive. It sucks being taken there, But the kids that loose weight are the kids that starve them self trying to get out. I don't agree with the program but by know means was SCL abusive.

How long were you there for? What group were you in? Why are you posting ANON? How do we know you don't work for WWASPS? Just something to think about.

f you were never in a program, or a parent of a child in a program, then you have no business posting here.

Brown,

Everyone is entitled to share what their personal experince was. Remember:there is no right  or wrong just your perosnal experience. Everyone is entiled to being validated as they feel they experinced SCL it. If they feel they were abused,they probably were.If yopu werent luck ofr you.No need to feel guilty for what it took for you to graguate. Or maybe,as only you know for sure,maybe you do.

Goody for you, you graduated.........
