How Parent Manuals are used to keep kids detained in abusive programs

There is another VERY importaint warning sign to look out for too. And that is the "parent manuals" that these programs. These are pamphlets that the program gives out for parents to read if they consider sending their child to such programs. What they REALLY do is throw out a bunch of scare tactics in order to manipulate the parents to keep the child in the program for a long, long time. The parent manuals will prepare the parents for how there child will react when they communicate with them via phone call or letter.

Here is an example of one from the now defunct Paradise Cove leaked by WWASPS Survivors.

_If you ever see such communication guidelines as depicted in the document link above or something similar, GET YOUR CHILD OUT OF THERE! This is a sign that there is abuse going on and they are trying to cover it up by coercing you not to listen to your child's cries for help and deeming them a manipulator. For one former detainee from Paradise Cove, his parents fell for this tactic and refused to take his complaints seriously. Later turning to crime, he continued this path up until his death from being gunned down by police.

Distinguishing enrollment forms of fraudulent Programs/Schools

In regards to the deceptive marketing and the education consultants, it's seems next to impossible to distinguish the legitimate non-abusive boarding schools from the fraudulent and abusive programs. Many of these programs referred by education consultants appear to be normal college prep schools. Since they are part of the troubled teen industry, they call themselves "therapeutic" boarding schools when they are actually just residential treatment centers. However the abusive programs have content in their enrollment forms that other schools/programs don't have. They have enrollment agreements which states they are not liable for any wrong doing and cannot be sued. This also allows them to re-open under a new name and go unpunished. Read this carefully parents, because this is REALLY A BRIBE!

Below are some examples of waivers that can be seen on the facilities respected websites;

2013 Filled with MORE AMAZING CLOSURES!

As 2013 comes to an end, there have been even more closed programs than previously thought. 2012 however was less exciting with the closures of Escuela Caribe and Cathrine Freer Wilderness to name a few. Family Light reports more on the situation regarding these closures.

 For this year the programs closed in 2013 are as follows:
Academy at Swift River, Talisman (formally New Leaf Academy), Stone Mountain School, Adirondak, and SUWS of Idaho. (Also new word is Horizon Academy and Cross Creek have closed too!)

 All of which are owned by Aspen Education Group and WWASPS. As you know, AEG is owned by Bain Capital and the goons involved with WWASPS are constantly on the move. Which means that any of these closed facilities are likely to re-open under new names at some point. However, we will track down the people running these places and where they have re-located and the new programs they run. Let's hope to see indefinite closures in 2014 along with convictions.
We need as much support as we can get, because they obviously have too much money to be criminally prosecuted, which is why they continue to abuse children for profit. If the survivor lobby out numbered them in both people and funds, we can put this goose chase to a stop. The first step to this however, is to get money out of politics completely. So many politicians in Washington are heavily invested in this dirty industry.Once this happens, we can do it with your help!

Another Kid Dies at Diamond Ranch Academy!

There has recently been a suicide at Diamond Ranch Academy. The kids name has not even been released nor did his parents disclose any information. This marks the second death at DRA after that of James Shirey in early 2009. A criminal lawsuit has yet to be taken place for both boys who have died.

World seems to be opening up after escapes at a New Mexico Boys Ranch

The media now seems to be catching on this which is rare for them to do. However, until things are set right with government action and change it will continue.

 This video and article explains very clearly that the vast majority of at-risk youth DO NOT need out-of home treatment. We also need to convince private boarding and day schools across the country to expand the pool of special needs students they work with because otherwise they will be placed in facilities like this where they are abused and denied education. And if the child does need treatment, they must receive out-patient home based therapy before applying to other education options. Otherwise the parent and child are setting themselves up for years of shame and regret. And also to avoid education consultants at all cost as there are only a hand full of honest ones with no oversight on their qualifications.
