Welcome to America.

I so, so wish I could say this surprised me but my faith in humanity really is that low. It did make me feel outraged though, much like I do whenever I read stuff like this. That poor woman - She's very strong to be able to talk about it openly.

I'm wondering why news of this facility have not surfaced. I have never even heard of Cross Creek. It makes me wonder what other kind of facilities are operating behind closed doors and the governments role in these kinds of programs.

I have never read a story more horrifying than hers. Her parents sound like they should locked up in one of those facilities.

Oh.. WWASP... I did not need to read on to know what this is...

This i most likely some of the scariest stories Ive ever read in my life. I really hope the parents who send their kids to such facilities die lonely, and miserable shits. They do not deserve the title "parent". THey are lazy, disgusting fucks.


Yes these stories get me riled up.

Oh also... If I remember correctly... WWASP was actually closed down successfuly I believe, but it then popped up under a new name.

Jeez, if anything like this went on in Britain near me I'd make it my aim to free the inmates inside, this is disgusting!

Definitely big enough, there are certainly people who would have this done. But the country is far too small.

Homosexuality is "reserved" for the elite who generally consider themselves above all law. Religious doctrine was created to keep all the little fishies under lock and key by enforcing undertones of shame and doubt.

As for whether or not this is a true story, I'm dubious that it is not an embellishment.

This is why I no longer read anything about civil / moral issues from the US.

This is all assuming this girl isn't lying about this place and why she was sent there. Wikipedia says that many people have tried to sue this organisation for abuse so I don't doubt her.

This is from the FAQ section on their website.
:
Q. Can my teen run away?
Both the programs have a secure campus. The key pad system we use allows us to keep the students in and strangers out.
Do children in the USA (or any other country for that matter) have any rights? It seems that it's legal for the parent to have their child incarcerated at will.

The wanker that runs the place annoys as much as the parent. He seems to have a debt-collector mentality; doesn't care if you have done nothing wrong as long as there's a paying parent he is all to happy to bully the child.

I'm really sorry to say that shit like this doesn't even surprise me anymore. Really, really sorry.

I can't believe that place is even legal.

I think Cross Creek mayt have been closed down though... A lot of WWASP's facilities were closed.

But the problem is, some of the facilities are located outside of USA, where this stuff isnt illegal.

I was threatened with this sort of program when I was a kid. Fortunately my mom couldn't afford it.
