///The dispute about Sue started when she supported the Sudweeks. What people didn't do was their homework - but she did. ///
Bull shit.
She called and email back and forth with the Suds - If you want to call that homework. I recall her telling me Marie had gone to look things over, an all was well, and that she has known the Suds for ages and they are good Christian people, who would never do harm to a child; and that Mark had told her about Joyce dragging her daughter out by the hair; that she had a copy of the police report that stated this.
Prior to Joyce's statement to ISAC, I had been told it was one "crazy" kid, making absurd allegations. Then after that, it was this kid and this nutty woman - this screaming shrew, who assaulted her daughter in front of everyone.
It was about this time I began reading the Whitmore forum. Thus I learned it was not just one deranged boy; or just one loony woman. There was in fact, a group of people making consistent allegations of abusive treatment at the Whitmore Mansion.
Thus I began trying to talk with Sue about stopping referrals until things could be cleared up. This concern on my part didn't go over to well.
It was during this tense period of days when I learned that Susan did Not have a copy of any police report - as the officer in question had not yet written it! I also was told that this officer was adamant that no child was drug out of the mansion by their hair - and that had such a thing occurred, he would have had to arrest the offending person on the spot. He further had stated that he found Mrs. Harris credible.
So, upon learning of this, I ask Susan to call him - talk to him. I still felt she had been lied to and manipulated by the Sudwicks, and that if she would talk to this officer, she might come to see reason.
What she did instead was say 'thank you' out of one side of her mouth- while cursing me with the other. She started more of her anon posting games, with the intent to do me emotional harm, and worse if possible.
All I had asked her to do was talk to the police officer who was there that night; and to halt referrals until the situation had been settled.
Explain to me, Oh ye of such great faith in Susan, just how this fits with her having done her "homework". I've always thought it seems much more like lying and stonewalling than home work.
I'd suggest, You better do YOUR homework, and quite believing everything she says, just b/c she says it!
As for how much PURE brings in - maybe you can clarify a question in my mind: Is it 10%, per head, per month; or a flat fee at admission; or both; or what? Does it varry from program to program? Is there any such thing as a program PURE refers to, that doesn't pay this "gratuity"? If so, I'd challenge you to Name it.
