The owner of a Utah chain of private "disciplinary academy" for teens has been arrested in Costa Rica and charged with violating the civil liberties of the students.
The academies are owned by the Utah organization, the World Wide Association of Speciality Programs and Schools, known as Wwasps, but are located in Costa Rica, Jamaica and Mexico. Parents pay $30,000 a year for the privilege of having their children learn discipline--and according to the charges--suffer physical and emotional abuse.
