Mitt Romney is BIG on his fundraisers. However there is also a stark reality to his plans and what he supports. One of those things is the out-dated therapeutic tactics believed to torture troubled teens. Romney has a strong financial connection with child-abusing business man Robert Lichfield, proud owner of abusive therapeutic schools, RTC's, and wilderness programs known as WWASPS (World Wide Association of Special Programs and Schools). There are now only less than 5 WWASPS schools still open after the rest were forced to shut down after allegations of abuse. Also under this umbrella of abusive program support is a connection with Mel Sembler founder of Straight Inc., another company now defunct that also ran therapeutic programs. Sembler is also a close friend of the Bushes.

It's so sad and sick to think that Mitt Romney is top-ranked in the polls for Republican candidates. Just imagine what it the so-called troubled teen industry would look like if he were elected president. Not a pretty sight.
