Strange how Sue Scheff can talk about the "misreprenstation and fraud she experienced" by having her daughter referred to what she claims was an abusive WWASP facility in which she placed her daughter--------
YET, when Joyce Harris makes the SAME COMPLAINT: that her daughter was referred to an abusive facility--Whitmore Academy, by Sue Scheff/PURE; this parent received a "cease and desist letter" from Scheff' attorney, David Pollack, which is posted on the ISAC website.

Joyce Harris has also been attacked in the "Whitmore Blogs" written by Sue Scheff and Isabelle Zehnder; which are filled with hearsay, allegations, gossip, cartoon character representations of her, etc which are followed by lenghty disclaimers by both Scheff and Zehnder to hold them irresponsible for publishing such attacks.
It does not appear that Ms. Scheff accepts that all citizens are entitled to the same rights she claims and demands for herself.
Scheff got the cheddar train rolling by attacking WWASP, and even her die-hard Scheff supporters lost faith when they realized it was strictly business for Sue, not compassion for kids in abusive WWASP programs. Scheff plays off the "hero mom" image she invented for herself - she beat the evil WWASP, so she must refer only to the safest and most caring programs.
Bullshit. Sue's a WWASP competitor, nothing more. At the start of PURE she
referred to the bastards, which should give you some idea where the woman's head is - up her ass.
Scheff's playing the "hero mom" card again, since the allegation of a brutal physical attack by Scheff on her daughter has been brought to light again. Nowhere have I seen Scheff
deny the attack, she only writes "we had some trying times". I've had some trying times, but I didn't resort to the goon hand tactics Sue "reportedly" used.
Sue recently blogged about the alleged assault:
"Personally, I let it go - but when it reaches to my kids, it is completely different." Let it go??? Sue, you sued a woman for criticizing you and received an $11.4 million judgment. Is that your idea of letting it go?
Scheff's dragged her daughter into it, too, you can read her blog which was apparently started in order to quash the assault story and pimp her mom's book. Read Ashlyn's blog, then look back at Scheff's - looks like the same writer, and Ashlyn's blog reads like a lame troll post.
During the WWASP vs. PURE trial Scheff made a motion to keep the "reported" physical assault from being used, as it could prejudice the jury. WWASP objected, claiming Scheff had already written publicly about her daughter's experience at Carolina Springs, essentially using the girl for marketing PURE. The Judge agreed with WWASP, but limited what could be discussed about Scheff's personal family life to her daughter's experience with Carolina Springs.
All these attempts by Sue at damage control, the lawsuits, the pleas for people to leave her family out of this, are hollow. She's raked a Whitmore parent over the coals with allegations that go beyond libel and defamation into the realm of perverse speculation. Scheff's attack on the Whitmore parent is a fear-based, loathsome attempt at saving her ass. Sue has had no regard for the truth, which she thinks she has a monopoly on. If the truth prevails, Sue and PURE will be a bad memory.
