Have no sympathy for Cheryl Sudweeks.
Really feel sorry for this boy who has been raised in this setting. He sits in on these marathon GROUPS led by his out-of-control mother, observes the beating up of kids by other kids, and all the other unacceptable goings on at the Whitmore.  It is really a shame.

Does the state of Utah know this child is being exposed to this kind of behavior or is he considered an enrolled "student" of Whitmore?

The DCFS is aware that this young boy lives in this situation.  When asked why this agency does nothing, the answer was: "there has been no formal report of abuse of this boy against the parents."  This boy does "attend school" along with the other kids there, and participates in all the activities according to our child who was enrolled there. His sister who just turned 18 was also raised in this mess, and is now listed as a "Staff Member."

Thanks for your reply Anon, it's a shame more program parents and their children are not aware of the Utah Abuse Reporting Law. Perhaps these programs would be more inclined to clean up their act than risk being put out of business?

Antigen, you stated you were "...skeptical, ambivalent about legal actions against programs....although they could bring about discussion and fact-finding...."

Most parents and former "students" of these programs often do not find forums such as FORNITS until after-the-fact.

Many parents do not turn to attorneys and law suits until after they have been turned away by every agency they go to trying to get "help" in rectifying the damage these programs have done, and are still doing to children.

As you have stated about these programs: These owners have deeper goals, and motives than the almighty DOLLAR. The same goes for parents who file these law suits. Their goals are not all about monetary gain either.
Parents want these program owners,to be held accountable for their unacceptable, abusive and often criminal behaviors.
And parents want these owners and programs brought to the public's attentions to perhaps stop other parents from sending their children to these programs.

I understand where Ginger is coming from ... personally I'm all for kids suing a program and being awarded huge settlements as it is the children who pay the biggest price and also, it will send a message to insurance underwriters to beware when insuring these programs ... RAISE THE PREMIUM ... make the programs pay through the nose for abuse insurance.

Good luck on getting any of your stuff back Mackey--probably won't happen. Don't know what you mean about "signing yourself out of any contract." You parents signed the contract with the Sudweeks, right? Probably should save yourself the price of the ticket---just replace anything you left there, and write it all off as a "loss." Put the Whitmore experience behind you lad.  Glad to hear you are doing good.

Good luck to you Mackey.  Unless you signed a contract with the Sudweeks, which, by the way, would be invalid, since you would have been under the age of 18, no reason to do anything.  In fact, you can't do anything.  

As far as your things, kiss them good-bye.  Unless you took your stuff when you left, you are more than likely not going to get it now.  Ask anyone who has tried.  It just sort of disappears.

It would probably be a good choice on your part not to even go near the Whitmore or the Sudweeks.

You sound like you are doing well, just stay focused on that.

Often when 18 years olds ask for their belongings they are told that the clothing, etc belongs to their parents. You really should get in touch with them. I'm sure they are concerned about you and possibly they will help you.  

Faith means not wanting to know what is true.

For Mackey to contanct his parents, it'll probably mean the end of his little adventure or whatever. If the dude is really serious about being 18 and on his own....I say forget about your stuff and just replace it or do without it.

It's funny. My mom hid my $150 guitar in her attic for something like 7 years. She thought I'd hit bottom, come crawling back, yadda yadda, w/e. I should restring it and see if any of the kids take an interest.

Moralizing, with the force of law or coercion, is a
far greater crime against the constitutional principles of our nation than unauthorized euphoria, regardless of the substance involved, be it chocolate or heroin.

Oh no, I wouldn't go NEAR that place. Unless you're 18 and have a police escort. Seriously, two words...police escort.
