Oh my God. Jeff, read your depostion. Its not to late to admit that Sue is a con.
Anyone who has not read on PURE's website "A Mothers True Story" do so. It will help you to understand the significance of this testimony.
From your depo...
Q. Why do you think Sue Scheff had a bad experience with WWASP?
A. WEll, her story is on her website. I haven't read it in a while. I don't recall the particulars.
Q. Have you read her depostion?
A. No.
Q. Have you been informed that she wrote that story sometime in approximately the spring of 2001?
A. I don't think so.
Q. Did you ever ask her about that?
A. No.
Q. Now, you Trekkers had a pre-conference meeting in Saint Petersburg, Florida the Friday before the conference, right?
A. I think so.
Q. Did you ask her whether or not the information contained in her mother's true story is in fact, true?
A. No.
Q. Did you ask Sue Scheff anything about her experience with Carolina Springs at that time?
A. No.
Q. Did you ever come to the understanding that Sue Scheff referred students to World Wide programs in the summer of 2001 after she'd written that story?
A. I was not aware of that.

Come on Jeff, you have hooked you raft to a sinking ship. She is taking you down with her. Can't you see that.

Q. I think you mentioned that you believed the children had the right or should have the opportunity to challenge their loss of liberty when they go into the program.
A. Yes they should.
Q. And where do you believe they should have the right to do that challenge?
A. I deally they should have due process before they go there, but failing that, they should at least be able to contact, say legal aid associates from inside the program.
Q. Why do you believe that to be the case?
A. Because thats a right everyone else has.
Q. Do you believe that the students entering PURE-recommended programs have the opportunity to challenge their loss of liberty going into those programs?
A. I don't know.
Q. Well, you recommend those programs, don't you?
A. No. I recommend a web-site where parents can find more information.
Q. You have in fact, told parents that if they want adequate, non-abusive programs to go to Sue, haven't you?
A. Yes, I have.
Futher along...
Q. Tell me what investigation you've done of the programs that Sue Scheff uses between you first association with her on the Internet in 2001 and your conference in the summer of this year.
A. I have not investigated them.
Q. Then how can you make the statement that she steers parents to reputable programs?
A. On reasonable beleif. That's what she told me.
Q. You simply believed what she said?
A. Yes.

The depo goes on to talk about PURE programs, Red Rock and the two deaths that occured, Sorensen and the alleged rape by a staff member.

Jeff, if you have a case to make against WWASP then make it independent of Sue. She is a con.
