More News about Whitmore/Cheryl Sudweeks

[Anonymous]

Read the posting by MOUSE. What TEEN knows all the inside workings of PURE, or would even care to know? That's no teen talking. And anyway, why all the PURE agenda anyway? Sure makes you wonder who's really running that show at Whitmore, doesn't it? Lots of SUE SUE SUE....and everybody knows the double, triple meanings of the word SUE.

it's a teen.

I'm talking with "a bunch of middle-aged folk who have no life" because I feel like it. I'm a kid. I can do things I feel like doing. And when I'm an adult, you can bet I won't be sitting around on a forum, because there will be way more important things for me to do. I'm bored, got it? Drama is exciting and there is a ton right here.

Cheryl doesn't even go to this site. And I don't know why you think I'm that kid, because I'm not... I knew her for a while, and I might've known you too if you tell me who you are. But my name is Angelina, as I've previously stated.

Yes, I'm a teen. Seventeen, actually, and maybe I sound older because the majority of my postings are conversation and proving points intelligently, and not just throwing insults (although I admit I do that in a few). I believe this place is for conversation and debate, not an elementary playground fight.

Also, one last thing. I care to know briefly about the workings of PURE because they're the ones who referred my mom to the Whitmore, and I like to know how that worked. I learn about things going on around me because not to seek that knowledge would be, in my opinion, naive and ignorant.[ This Message was edited by: mouse on 2005-06-17 14:03 ]

What did Sue Scheff tell you about Whitmore before you came there?

I can tell you right now that that is absolutely untrue. Kids were screamed at, hit, and humiliated in horrible ways. They were also made to do hard labor in extreme weather. One girl had to shovel snow from the  sidewalks in a tank-top, shorts, and no shoes. Others did digging, hauling, lifting etc in 90 + degree weather. I remember one time three of the boys got ahold of a cell phone and called one their friends in Texas to try and arrange to be picked up. Mark and Cheryl found out somehow so we had a big group during which two boys were slapped, and one was choked and thrown. No one can post saying this didn't happen, I was responsible for it so I KNOW. The group took place at night so the next morning they were given "the clothes". The clothes were basically the tackiest clothes you could find at the Goodwill. The outfits that were chosen were a leopard-print tank top and silk pants, pink turtle-neck and sweats (keep in mind this is late spring), and something with kittens or flowers on it I think. They weren't allowed to wear shoes and for the next couple weeks they were toted around by two of the staff doing odd-jobs and maitenance outside. They weren't allowed to change and they only got to shower a couple times during the two-week or so period. Their heads were also buzzed during the group. Cheryl said that one of the boy's long hair was keeping him stuck in the "stoner mentality" so she had all their heads buzzed. OK, so all that for an ATTEMPTED runaway. I could tell you quite a few other stories about people who actually ran away, but for the sake of making my point I've decided to show you all the crap that was done even when running away was still just a thought in  their minds. Mouse, I don't know what kind of cock-and-bull you're trying to feed these people, but that's really pathetic. That's all I have to say, it's pathetic.

One boy who had to wear "the clothes" was at the mall with the group, and Cheryl would yell at complete strangers to "look at him! Ask him why he's dressed that way!"  Humiliated this boy to no end. He had run away, and after being beat up really bad, this was additional punishment.
Nope, he didn't just get talked to, and be made to promise to mend his ways. He was beat badly!

I was visiting at Whitmore in the early summer of 2004, and I observed two boys with girls -- what looked like pink girl's pajamas over their own clothes.  I saw them first at the mansion, then at the boy's house.  They were being made to work
outside in extremely hot weather, in the 100's.  I saw them on, at least, two different days.  Leah wanted me to get them a slurpy at 7-11, which I did.  I asked Leah about it at the time and she sor of sluffed it off.  About a month later, after her departure from the Whitmore, I asked her about it again.  It was at that time she told me the boys had tried to run away.

It was really a hard image for me to get out of my head.  The humulitaion of teenagers is something that I find very cruel and hurtful.  It is a form of bullying.

Stupid is as stupid does.  I feel sorry for these kids whose parents are stuck on stupid.

Slapped...choked...thrown...hair buzzed: all in a Group session with Mark and Cheryl present.
ALL this just because they may have been THINKING ABOUT RUNNING AWAY?

And no one wants to think about what MAY HAVE HAPPENED to these 3 boys who actually did RUN?

What about the KIDS who filed these charges, and have described the abuses they DID suffer for running?  These victims, who have witnesess who collaborate the abuse?  Some of the witnesses even admit that they participated in the abuse because Cheryl INSTRUCTED and FORCED them to abuse the run-away victims!!!!!
THEN people like Mary Gentile post on here, and accuse these children of lying, and accuse the parents of these children of being evil liars...and hold the Sudweeks up as loving, caring friends of hers.
Something is terribly WRONG when the victims of child abuse are attacked like this by a woman,  who then spends hours on a forum proclaiming her love for GOD and and depicting her own Christainity, and writing pages of her own self-serving descriptions of her motherhood: leaving dinner parties to tuck in her children, never going out of town unless she takes her children, etc etc....
YET she places her own son in NOT ONE, but TWO treatment facilities that have been PROVEN to be abusive.  THEN DARES to criticize parents and call them liars when they remove their chilren and file charges against the owners/abusers.
