More red flags?

Oh yes, there are more red flags on which programs are abusive and fraudulent than the ones posted on WWASPS survivors or HEAL-online. What they don't tell you is telling the fraudulent programs marketed as boarding schools from real true boarding schools.

This most often happens when the child is struggling in the public schools and their parents want a better place for them. Most of the schools that are recommended are "therapeutic boarding schools" for troubled teens. This is because of what they claim to specialize in even though they're only for last resort placements when all other options fail. This makes them especially dangerous not only from the abusive staff, lack of medical care, and unsanitary living conditions, but violent kids that might take advantage of other kids and the staff again do nothing. What's worse is even many education consultants are being bribed to refer as many kids to these programs that they can hold to make even more money when they prolong their stay and possibly kill them by accident.

Petition to Josh Shipp and Lifetime Television Network

For those of you who don't know, there is a new show on Lifetime called "Teen Trouble" where quack psychologist Josh Shipp works with seriously disturbed teenagers and promotes these for-profit residential schools that are known for human rights violations and kids dying while being confined to these programs.
 Josh Shipp is NOT a profession of any kind and was once a troubled kid himself, a hallmark of many staff who work for these programs. The methods these programs practice are NOT supported by scientific research and evidence. In face, these harm kids and "Quack Dr. Shipp" needs to know the truth!

There is a petition to let Lifetime and Josh Shipp know the truth behind these programs and demand to stop airing the show. It is also confusing and influencing parents with struggling kids about these programs and ignoring what their children REALLY NEED. It's hard enough to get the attention out to Dr. Phil and Dr. Drew who endorse Aspen Education Group, so lets let Lifetime know we mean serious business.

We need as much signatures on the petition as possible. Let your voice be heard!

New 'Teen Trouble' Show Markets Abusive Programs!

Lifetime Network is airing a new troubled teen reality show called "Teen Trouble" that's scheduled to go on the air sometime in 2013. The man running the show is Josh Ship. By the looks of it he is NOT a licensed psychologist or family councilor and is more like a younger version of Dr. Phil. In the episode preview, he works with a troubled kid and sends him away to an Aspen Program called "Outback Therapeutic Expedition". In other words, THIS IS A MARKETING TOOL FOR ABUSIVE PROGRAMS!. Sometime in the future there will be a petition promotion to demand Lifetime not to air this program because it's endorsing and marketing fraudulent programs that are a danger to the teens placed there. Plus the kid on this sampled episode needs REAL professional and government welfare services (if any exist under the Afordable Care Act)

I'm betting that it's Aspens way of lashing back after Mitt Romney who profits from them lost the recent election. So as a result, he can not give the edge to these programs and his trophy wife will not be able to work with troubled teens as she promised as First Lady.

A Need or a Privilege?

A lot of these programs have a philosophy that take behavior modification to the extreme. Too extreme to the point that peoples basic daily needs are often considered privileges such as sanitation of food and water, hygiene, shelter, and physical comfort. These are the things that are granted in prisons because they are human rights. What inmates are not granted is TV, Recreation Sports, and snacks because they are privileges that are earned.

Owner of Copper Canyon Opens up a New Facility for Boys

The founder of Copper Canyon Academy Tammy Behrmann has opened up an all-male equivalent on the property of Robert Lichfield's old mansion in St. George Utah. The WWASPS founder apparently sold the property to Aspen Education (which owns CCA) to open up a new facility that is bound to be abusive.

The school is called Ashcreek Ranch Academy and it just opened last month and is now included in the "Targeted Facilities" list. As usual, the website has a whole list of teenage traits they consider "serious issues". There has to be as many people as possible to close this place down ASAP because it's only a matter of time before one of the boys dies in this program.

And this B!tch Tammy Behrmann should be arrested along with the closure of CCA.
