   Ep. 1: WWASP...a History

   Join us in The Program this week to unpack the sordid and child abuse laden history of WWASP, or the World Wide Association of Specialty Programs. WWASP was an umbrella organization that ran a plethora of specialty programs throughout the world, but headquartered in Utah. These programs masqueraded as a last ditch resort for parents with unruly teenagers. The schools promised to whip their kids into shape...but instead subjected these children to abuse, neglect, and violated their most basic human rights. These are their stories.
