Post WWASP Checklist
(Anonymous) 

First let me express my deepest sympathy for what you and your family has been through. I am a 3rd-party outsider to all of this. I have no attachment to anyone who has been in the program; I'm just a researcher who has discovered the horrors of these behavior modification schools for myself.

The Mind Control

If as a parent, you attended TASKS seminars run by WWASP, I fear that you have been used and a form of "mind control" has been applied to you in order to a) keep your children in the program, b) make you continue to spend money on other things in addition to tuition, and c) recruit other parents & their children into the fray.

Take a moment to read some of these articles & reports to familiarize yourself with what TASKS is REALLY based on.

WWASP uses this form of “mind control” to take control of parents whose children they’ve managed to manipulate into being placed at their schools. Most parents don’t realize it until after they’ve gotten their children out of the program – usually early.

Since a lot of this may still be fresh in your mind, there's a few things you may want to do NOW to prepare for any future legal action, or just a massive brain dump so you can remember everything and even that will come in handy later. You don't HAVE to do them, but this is what's been helpful for other parents in the past.

Consider this a Post-WWASP checklist.

Checklist

1.      Write an account of your TASKS experiences. What were you told? What emotions did you feel? What was going on
    around you? Did anything both you or seem odd? Use Karen Lile's experience as a basis.

2.      Talk with your child. What they have gone through was either very traumatic, or they went along with the program and
    refuse to say anything negative (possibly from an irrational fear of retribution or being sent back....or they still under
    the form of "mind control" TASKS involves)

If they don’t want to talk about it, that's fine...but these are questions you want to ask if they do.

  • Ask them about the staff. Do they remember any names? Do they remember any particular actions of an individual staff member?
     
  • Ask them about their fellow “students”. Do they remember any particular one? Did any of them have problems, fears etc while in the program that might be detrimental to them?

3.      Consider taking your child to a doctor and having them examined. Many children who came from other programs like
    Samoa or Jamaica came back with scabies, skin rashes, crabs, fleas, sores, and even scars. Best to have your child
    get a full checkup and potentially having the doctor write up an affidavit if anything seems out of the ordinary.

4.      If you believe your child was emotionally damaged by the TASKS form of "mind control" consider taking them to a
    psychologist. Make sure you let the psychologist know all you can about the TASKS seminars before and after the
    visit. Have them fill out an affidavit if necessary.

5.      At any time did they lead you to believe that the treatment your child would receive at their school was therapeutic or
    gave an indication that licensed medical or psychological professionals would be administering the program? What
    about licensed or accredited educational faculty?

6.      Did you have to take any drastic measures in order to pay for your child's stay? Were you encouraged to recruit any
    parents? Did you recruit any parents? Is there still a cost structure in place for consequences?

7.      Were you encouraged to apply for your medical insurance to cover your child’s stay? What about school loans?

8.      How did you get your child to Dundee? Did you use an escort service or take them there yourself?

9.      Do you remember the names of any parents and children in your support group or staff from your TASKS seminars or
    people who you dealt with in finding out about their school and getting them there?

10.    Do you have copies of your cancelled checks you sent to WWASP or your school ? Make sure you get these from the
    bank as sometimes they have stamps of the various banks they traveled through.

11.    Do you remember dealing with any other companies besides WWASP, R&B Billing and Resource Realizations? Travel
    agencies? Escort companies?
