For help in finding the right school or program, give us a call at http://flcs.org/ Here, you can read the newsletter, names and email addresses of the staff (Wow! George Heightman [Huisman is like 6'6"] is STILL the coach?!), the actual location where students attend.

Sorensen's Ranch School challenged the Department's draconian interpretation of Utah Code Ann. Section 62A-4a-413 after the Department threatened to revoke the School's license based on its maintenance worker's criminal history. The maintenance worker, Shaun Sorensen, was the son of the School's owner and had been convicted of two felonies in California before relocating to Utah and beginning his full-time employment at the School. The Court of Appeals agreed with the School, reasoning that Subsection (2)'s prohibition of certain enumerated services to children applied more narrowly than Subsection (1)'s screening requirement for all employees of licensed child-care facilities. The court held that so long as Sorensen did not engage in any of the enumerated activities listed in Subsection (2), he could continue his employment with the School without jeopardizing the School's licensure.


I wonder what the felony charge was and how much access the guy has to other people's children? Are these kids able to tell anyone if/when they're abused?

Anyone know anything more about this one?

They'd have a tough time referring since this guy Bundy has flooded the internet with his websites.  If they do, what would you think their commission would be...pretty large from what I see.  HEHEHEHEHE!!   :rofl:

I know a lot about Sorenson's Ranch School.  

First, you do not have to log in to get program information on their web site.  To get daily updated information about your child, yes you do have to have a log in pass word.  But for general information - no.

The guy the possible license revocation was about does not work with the kids at all.  Never has, and Never will.  

The students are able to file written abuse charges with the state at any time.

PURE did at one time refer to SRS.  Two years ago Sorenson's Ranch got smart and has not accepted any kids from Sue since then.  I am sure she has quit referring to them at all.  

All in all, I believe SRS is a good program.  The school is accredited, the program as a whole is JAHCO accredited (as most hospitals are). They are a working ranch and offer the kids lots of activities as well as therapy and education.

If you would like more information, feel free to email me at questionsanyone@hotmail.com

Maybe Sorenson's Ranch will wise up and not allow this Bundy spammer to refer to them either.  It's all about money if he's referring to them.  

The above poster seems to have inside knowledge, but, in my opinion, from a referral source perspective, i.e, educational consultant or spam referral site.

SRS is a horrible place to send your child. Sometimes parents are happy with the program but it does not work in the long run and usually end up with more problems than they begin with.

I graduated from Sorenson's program and I have nothing but bad things to say about it. Not only because of my experience there, but the routes I saw other people take after they left.

There are other ways to reach your child. Please don't send your children here.

I totally agree with the above post.  I also graduated from SRS and was a much worse person when I left.  It took years to get back on track and undo the damage.

Now why won't Sorensen's Ranch accept any more kids from Sue at PURE? What's wrong with the kids she refers? huh?

Reportedly Sue Scheff?PURE still refers children to Sorenson's.  Isabelle Zehnder reported in the SueScheffTruth blog that she was involved in referrals to Sorenson's through PURE, correct?

Oh, and "nowhere"- if you're going to come back with "well I've been talking to this other place and they say that...", name the other place, too. Or just find it on ISAC. It's the same shit, over and over again.

Why would you send ANY child to a program?
