Election - "Romney
Cans Golden Goose Over Abuse." ... "[2008 election
Republican Presidential Candidate] Mitt Romney has asked his Utah
finance committee co-chair, Robert Lichfield, who is affiliated
with a controversial network of schools for troubled teens and has been
dogged by allegations of abuse and fraud, to step down, Radar has
learned." ... "Lichfield was named in a June 2007 complaint filed in federal
court in Utah by the families of 133 children who have attended schools
associated with WWASP, alleging that they were subjected to physical, sexual,
and emotional abuse. Plaintiff Chase Wood, who attended the Cross Creek
Center for Boys [in Utah] (founded by Lichfield in the late 1970s) and
another WWASP-affiliated school, claims he was fondled, forced to eat his
own vomit, and locked in a dog cage." ... "According to a class-action
lawsuit filed against him in New York in 2006 for fraud, Lichfield makes
$90 million a year through a complicated network of businesses based around
behavior modification and has owned or operated a total of 26 schools worldwide,
some of which have been closed by local authorities for mistreatment. The
lawsuit claims that the Academy at Ivy Ridge [in New York], a school that
sits on land owned by Lichfield and for which he has provided consulting
services, admitted students for five years without any accreditation as
an educational institution from the state." -By John
