Hello Couture, and welcome.
Have you read the various threads to this site?
We as parents always have questions for former students, because it helps us to understand what happened to our kids at Whitmore, and to be able to talk to them.

Perhaps you could register with the name you signed with "Couture" so we will know when you are posting????

How long ago were you at Whitmore?

Did you witness any of the verbal, emotional, physical abuse that is being discussed here on this site?

My daughter was at Whitmore 2 months--Oct, Nov 2004.

Welcome Couture!  I do have questions, so I'll jump right in.

Do you know how your parents found out about the Whitmore?  What were the sleeping habits like when you were there?  How did "group" work while you were there?  Was there any equine therapy while you were there and if so, what did that consist of?

Glad you found the site!!  Hope you continue to post.

The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that's good.

hmm.... Let's see, when i was there, sleeping arrangements were that girls had their own rooms, and guys had their, although they let me sleep in the boys rooms.  I never did anything with any of the guys, they were all a lot younger than me.  There were boys on the same floor as girls though.  I remember one time, someone came to the masnion, and we had to move all the rooms around, the boys went in the basement and girls were upstairs.  

Groups were pretty much how everyone describes them.  Never planned, always spur of the moment.  Whenever something went how Sheryl didn't want it to go, she would call a group.  Then pretty much single someone out, and everyone would gang up on them.  I don't really recall anyone hitting anyone, except one time, i don't think it was due to her direction, though.  It could have been because she didn't get that upset about it.  I think she slapped a girl once though, and she would constantly call people names, like slut, bitch, loser.  I was only the brunt of the group once, because i was constantly on tip toes.  It was like we could do something one day, and the next day do the same exact thing, but she would get horrendously mad about it the next day for some reason.

I am not sure about how my parents found out about it.  I know it was an educational consultant, but not any of the ones mentioned above.  

Equince therapy?  I wouldn't really call it that.  We would ride, I prbably rode a dozen, maybe less times while i was there.  I am a pretty accomplished rider, so I rose a lot more than others.  No one usually went with us, not Sheryl or Mark.  Trinity came a couple of times.  I actually schooled a coiple of kids while I was there.  

I think that pretty much answers your questions.  Feel free to ask more.

how long ago has it been since you were there? During what year did you spend your 3-4 months there?

No, I will admit that some of the contents are true, but no one snuck on the ship. There was a kid there that didn't have his visa and so he had to go home. So if he had to go home how would they manage sneaking kids on the ship? On that cruise everyone had there bed there wasn't more kids in a room that wasn't supposed to be. Everyone was equal.

I've been on several cruises, and would be surprised if anyone could actually sneak aboard a cruise line. The cabin-person knows who will be in the CABIN even before your arrival, as does the resturants, etc. You use an ID card, and at each port, all guests are accounted for when you leave the ship, and arrive back---before the ship leaves the dock. Security is tight aboard ship.
All the other horrendous behaviors, I believe 100%.

OK, well there's a lot more there than just sneaking aboard the cruise ship.  Was the cruise as its been described here (very little supervision, kids running 'wild' etc.)

Were the trips to Mexico like the one that has been described lately?  What were your sleeping arrangements while on the road and once you arrived at your destination?  Did you have adequate access to proper hygiene?  Was there any sneaking onto resort properties?

Being sleepy can impair someone's ability to do thier job.  People
can sleep at home and come to the job with sleepiness still in their system. The sleepiness can still be there long after the employee has slept. When someone is found to be sleepy on the job, they can claim that they went to sleep the night before.  The only solution to this problem is to ban employees from sleeping.

I personally checked into taking a cruise 3 weeks ago.  I got pricing for 2 adults and an 18 year old.  I had planned to get the 18 year old their own room.  NO CAN DO... you have to be 21 or older to have a room or their must be someone 21 or older in the room with them.  That is the rule.  So please tell me how they managed to have that many 21 year olds accomodating 40 minors???  Most cabins sleep 2-4 so that is still 10 cabins or more.  Do the math, they needed at least 10 over 21!  Any answers for that?

Good question.  Maybe this is how Cheryl did it.  She takes a few kids aboard the ship.  Takes their passes, leaves the ship, comes back with another group.  When they go ashore, some stay on the ship.  Same way she works the buffets -- take some of the kids in, pay for them.  Other kids are waiting in the bus.  When part of the first group is finished eating, they trade places with the ones waiting in the bus.  Just create a little confusion with a group, bunch them all up, the person place of business employee can't remember every face, when they are all moving around, switching places, whatever.  Get the picture?  Cheryl is good at it, had lots of practive.  If questioned, she causes a scene.  Customer is always right.  She's slick.  She's also stupid!!!

It's up to you. As far as I'm concerned, you can say anything you want to. I'm not responsible for that as host or administrator.

If you want my personal advice, I'd be very careful. You may cause unintended harm to people and/or they may be unhappy about it and make trouble for you. I think the best way to do it is probably to obscure the name w/ dashes or whatever. Instead of saying "Joe Smyth" you might say Joe S---h or something. That way, anyone who aready knows Joe will get what you're saying, but his name wouldn't come up on a Google search or anything.

You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war.
