BAY - WWASP

CAN WE IGNORE THIS ANY
LONGER?
The Cutting Edge:
Tranquility Bay:
Disturbing look at the booming tough-love industry in
the United States
It's a frightening thing when
other countries
are doing
exposės, making statements like "... the methods used
by these camps ... amount to abuse, physical and
psychological. Some foreign countries have been
concerned enough to shut the camps down ..." They
also stated "talk about tough love gone mad ...", and
they are right.
There are
websites
created by victims of abuse at
Tranquility Bay. (www.tbfight.com)
The truth of the matter is that
there are too many reports, too many people with similar
stories
coming forward about what they witnessed and experienced there. Too many
to ignore.
Sadly, this facility is still open, still running strong, still housing
hundreds of children.

PACIFIC COAST ACADEMY

(Closed
by Samoan Government)
"Because
of what I went through at Pacific Coast Academy I feel like
the world is going
to end every day."
Children were forced to do
excessive forms of
exercise and were made to lie in positions such
as these for hours on end, until their bodies shook,
their muscles too weak to hold their arms and
legs up any longer. This is nothing short of torture.

One of the girls said she
remembers what she felt
the first day in Samoa:
``When I first got
there,
I hit the Bible, saying, ``Oh God, save me.' ''

SPRING CREEK LODGE, MONTANA (WWASP)
"The Hobbit"
Psychologist John France testified his child was
forced to stay in the Hobbit for almost 9 months

During his stay …
- He was kept in this
small, cold structure without adequate heat or food
- It was so cold the
orange he stowed away at night froze by morning
- He had to urinate in his
drinking cup in the night
- He scratched the words,
“Let Freedom Ring” on one of the shelves where he slept during his
ordeal
