Then There Was WWASP
In the late 1970s, a man named Robert Lichfield showed up on the doorsteps of Provo Canyon School, looking to get his start in the troubled teen industry.

INTRODUCING SEASON 2: Trapped In Treatment
Paris Hilton’s “Trapped in Treatment” is back for a second season with hosts Caroline Cole and Rebecca Mellinger Grone as they investigate the Worldwide Association of Specialty Programs and Schools (WWASP) - the largest global network of programs in the history of the troubled teen industry.
Our first season's story continues with a look into how one man — a man who got his start at Provo Canyon School — masterminded his own universe of programs replete with allegations of abuse, isolation, and trauma that spanned from the arid deserts of Utah to the humid beaches of Jamaica.
With first-hand accounts from survivors and interviews with former employees and industry experts, “Trapped in Treatment” Season 2 explores the complex nature of the troubled teen industry and the lack of justice for those that have lived through it.

Horrific!!
I cannot believe that in 2023 these type of “schools” still exist and no Government department can take them down. Could it be that they’re also in on it? Just another avenue for child abuse, protected by the Grubberment themselves.
