Over 200 news articles have been written regarding alleged abuse and neglect at World Wide Association of Specialty Programs and Schools (WWASP/WWASPS) facilities. Over the past several years Dateline, PrimeTime, 48 Hours, Inside Edition, Montel Williams, Fox News, Forbes, Newsweek, LA Times, NY Times, and many others have reported these allegations against WWASP/WWASPS facilities.
CAICA has interviewed many former parents who have been defrauded as well as former students who have been harmed in these programs. The consistency and similarities of their experiences are chilling.

Group of Specialty Troubled Teen Boarding
Schools Achieve a 96% Success Rate

Salt Lake City, UT -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/09/2006 -- Teen Revitalization,
an organization that consists of a group of premier hand-selected
boarding schools, recently had a survey where they contacted parents
of graduates one year following program completion. They asked
parents how they felt about the results their child and family had
experienced because of the program, and 96.4% of parents were either
“happy” or “very happy” with their results. These results constitute
aggregate data from parents with children in all of our schools.
Troubled teens stay for about 12-16 months at most of the selected
schools. Some of the schools have a 3 month trial program, but most
students need a significant period of time to complete the change
process and fully internalize new skills, attitudes, and behaviors.
The youth can also earn their high school diploma while attending
the school which is sometimes rare among other boarding schools. All
the schools operate on an open enrollment policy which means
students can start attending a school at any given time. Enrollment
in the troubled teen programs is also very quick, most students can
be enrolled within 48 hours for those who are experiencing an
immediate family crisis.
A traditional day at one of the selected boarding schools is full of
activities to assist students in becoming more socially accepted and
family-friendly. Students arise early and get ready for the day. The
eat breakfast, do a chore and then go to school. Once the academic
day is over, students attend their daily character-building
workshop. They also have a group meeting each day where they
evaluate themselves in several important areas of performance and
receive staff ratings and feedback also. In the late afternoon and
evening, students may have structured free time, play on-campus
games and sports, read, journal, socialize, do homework, etc. In
addition to on-camps activities, there are also a variety of
off-campus activities that may be attended by students who have
earned it. In the late evening, students prepare for and go to bed.
Parents are welcome to take a tour of the boarding schools and Teen
Revitalization counselors can assist in setting up the meeting.
Parents have an opportunity to meet staff and youth of the programs.
Parents are also encourages to contact previous clients to get a
first-hand account of the success the boarding schools boast of.
Teen Revitalization also requires that all selected boarding schools
integrate the family of the students into the treatment program.
This is one factor that has greatly attributed to the success of the
boarding schools that Teen Revitalization represents.
Parents who go through Teen Revitalization also receive an assurance
that very few troubled teen programs offer: a warranty program. They
are so confident in the ability of the represented programs that
they offer a warranty that is one-of-a-kind in our industry. If the
parent’s child meets the criteria for graduation from one of the
programs and for some reason returns to old negative patterns before
they turn 18, they will re-enroll them at the school they graduated
from for up to 60 days at no extra charge.
