"I don't know anything personally about what ISAC or TAUSA posts on their websites.
But, I would like to know why Isabelle at CAICA lied and said I requested that she remove Whitmore from CAICA.
Isabelle claims to be a child advocate, and I believe any true child advocate would want the public to be aware that the owner of Whitmore Academy has been charged with criminal child abuse and is facing a criminal trial for abusing 4 children in September 2006.
This issue at Whitmore has nothing to do with ISAC or TAUSA.
I would like for Isablelle to answer thses direct question: Why isn't Whitmore Academy on her Watchlist at CAICA? Why doesn't Isabelle do the RIGHT thing and let the public know that Whitmore Academy's owner, Cheryl Sudweeks is facing a criminal trial in September?"
Hi Joyce,
While I'm here tonight I will address you - one time. I have not lied about why I took the Whitmore off my site. It is plain and very simple, and anyone who has bothered to ask has heard the same thing. You wrote me very annoying e-mails and I began to feel that I was being harrassed by you and asked that you stop. You finally did. One thing you said - you insisted I not post anything on my site with your daughter's name on it. I discussed this with several laywers and with board members, and we all agreed it was not worth having anything on the site that had to do with you or the Whitmore.
The Whitmore, as far as I know, is closed and there are no children there. I think that people need to stop obsessing about this - there is a trial coming up and things will get resolved there. There are so many other things everyone should be focused on right now, I just don't see how people have all this time to spend fixated on this one issue.
Anyway, this is it for me. I have things to do and do not want to engage in this madness.

"ANON, Mom Cat or Izzie
Nobody is disrespecting Layne's family, but rather, expressing an opinion about finding out the way they did about the death of someone they cared very muvh about and considered a friend.
Can you see the difference?
Karen called his mom, for pete's sake, and how do you think she must have felt to confirm the tragic news that Layne has passed away the first week of June more than 20 days ago??
Somebody posted the news on Fornits, with no link to any resource, leaving people wondering if this was some kind of bad joke.
Well, thanks to BK, we know it's not, and she can hardly be considered disrepectful of the Layne family.
"
Anon,
Go back and read my post to Karen - I am not criticizing her in any way, I called Terry and I had to confirm the news the same way Karen did after seeing this on Fornits. In fact, Karen and I called probably moments of each other. I thought this was some sort of sick joke when I could not find anything about his death on Yahoo or Google, so I ran and called Terry and found out it was true.
I was just as appalled as Karen that we had to find out this way. It is true that the family may have wanted it kept quiet for a while. But please.
Paula has a memorial on her website - so the family must have agreed that she announce it on the internet. At least I would hope so. If that's the case, then Paula knew others would soon find out. In my opinion, that is when she should have put aside any feelings and called, or e-mailed us, and let us know about this tragedy - not let us find out this way.
Many of us knew Terry and Layne and many of us care deeply for them. Layne suffered so much and many of us have hurt inside for what he and his family have endured.
I would ask you, Anon, to please not try to start something here when I was agreeing with Karen. Please, can we please have enough respect to stop with the negative posts and move on.

Karen,
I don't often post here, but I cannot stay silent on this issue.
I, like you, saw this on Fornits this afternoon, a few hours ago. I couldn?t believe it was true so I posted ?IS this for real?? But I had to call Terry. I wondered if this was some sort of sick joke or something when I couldn?t find it on Yahoo, Google, anywhere.
Unfortunately it was true. Like Karen said, they don?t know all the answers yet.
It is bad enough that this had to happen to someone many of use knew and were close to, but to find out weeks after he died on the internet when someone we all know knew about it and didn?t bother to tell us? I just can?t believe that. It is truly disturbing.
I am very sorry for Layne and for his family. What he had to endure during his stint at WWASP is more than anyone should ever have to endure. I hope that some way, some day that justice will be served.
I think that today, everyone should put their differences aside, and take time to remember Layne for he was truly a wonderful human being. His family deserves our respect.

Public Sector Gulags / Another child is dead

Death of a 15-year old in England.
http://caica.org/NEWS%20DEATHS%20Gareth%201.htm
This sounds just all too familiar:
February 17, 2006
Child 'jail' restraint criticised: The inquiry was launched after the death of Gareth Myatt, 15
An unacceptable level of pain is being used to restrain children in secure custody, a report says.
The independent investigation into the treatment of children in prison, led by Lord Carlile, found pain was used to enforce compliance.
That was "unacceptable" and may be illegal, the report said.
The investigation was set up following the death of a 15-year-old boy in a privately-run secure unit while he was being restrained by three adult staff.
The inquiry, commissioned by the Howard League for Penal Reform, looked into the use of restraint techniques and strip searching.
Varying figures
It found that physical force was used against youngsters 15,512 times during a 21-month period in England and Wales, with injuries to both staff and children not uncommon.
Liberal Democrat Lord Carlile said his team of advisors "shared my shock at some of the practices we witnessed".
"We found that some of the treatment children in custody experience would in another setting be considered abusive and could trigger a child protection investigation."
Staff have permission to deliberately hurt children
Figures varied between institutions - in which there are in total 2,800 children and young people held in England and Wales, including 200 girls.
At one secure training centre, Medway in Kent, 1,818 injuries to children as a result of restraint from January 2004 to June 2005 were reported.
At Rainsbrook near Rugby there were 118, Hassockfield in County Durham reported 177 and Oakhill in Milton Keynes listed 48 from its opening in September 2004 to August 2005.
A sample of five out of 24 local authority secure children's homes in England and Wales revealed 73 injuries to children from January 2004 to August 2005.
Young offenders institutions did not keep central records of how many children had been injured in restraint incidents.
The inquiry found some evidence that staff would "bait" children into situations that would lead to them being restrained for the adult's "own gratification".
The level of pain used may be illegal, the report says
The report accepts that many of the 10 to 17-year-olds held in young offender institutions, secure training centres and local authority secure children's homes have had chaotic and abusive childhoods and lack clear boundaries to their behaviour.
But it said that unnecessarily painful restraint techniques were used to deal with dissent in some institutions.
Handcuffs were used in the four privately-run secure training centres, something the inquiry says should stop.
And the need for a strip search should be based on evidence, something the report says would cut the number of strip searches by half.
The Youth Justice Board chairman Professor Rod Morgan said staff were encouraged to use non-physical methods to deal with difficult behaviour.
"We want to move to a situation where the staff have sufficient confidence and are sufficiently well-trained that they don't have to rely on physical restraint to the degree that in some instances they are currently doing," he said.
Mental health
However, he said there was an underlying problem about a lack of spaces for young offenders who had mental health problems - and should be in healthcare rather than custodial care.
Although children have behaved badly and some of them committed terrible crimes... they're still children
Prison Reform Trust
He called for a three-part inter-departmental review - to look at children dealt with in the criminal courts and end up in custody; those dealt with in the family courts and end up in care; and those dealt with under the mental health act and end up in psychiatric care.
Children's Rights Alliance for England national co-ordinator Carolyne Willow, a member of Lord Carlile's advisory panel, said: "We are not talking here about children being hurt in the rough and tumble of restraint.
"Staff have permission to deliberately hurt children."
"As a former child protection social worker, I am stunned that this is allowed to happen."
The inquiry was told that one in five restraints of children resulted in injury.
'They're still children'
Director of the Prison Reform Trust Juliette Lyon says children are being failed by the prison system and they invariably end up re-offending.
Cases where children needed to be restrained should be the "rarest of rare events", she told BBC News.
"When you look at the number of times that physical restraints were used in the course of less than a year - thousands of times, on some quite young children - you realise it's being used as a matter of course when it's a disciplinary issue.
"Although children have behaved badly and some of them committed terrible crimes, although that is a minority, they're still children," she added.
Lord Carlile's report concludes that police should be ready to prosecute in cases where children appear to have been assaulted.
The inquiry was launched after the death of Gareth Myatt, 15, from Stoke-on-Trent, in April 2004.
He died after being restrained by three members of staff four days into his sentence at privately-run Rainsbrook secure training centre, near Rugby.

Public Sector Gulags / Another child is dead
« on: May 05, 2006, 12:10:00 AM »
Kasey Warner died in a ViaQuest facility. He was autistic and the facility was given orders that he should never be left alone. Sadly, he was and it resulted in his death. He was found dead in the wee hours of the morning at the bottom of a tub filled with just inches of water.
http://caica.org/NEWS%20DEATHS%20VIA%20QUEST1.htm
An article on March 30, 2006, indicates the state of Ohio wants to revoke the license of 15 ViaQuest facilities.

Kyle Young - 16 years old - died January 2004, his death is being ruled an accident, no charges will be pressed. Sound familiar? More of the same?
Sadly, the list of deaths is growing. This death occured at a courthouse in Alberta, Canada. The events surrounding this child's death are disturbing.
He was handcuffed, his legs shackled. He was being taken from one floor of the courthouse to another. There was some kind of altercation prior to the tragic accident that led to his death. A guard pushed him into the doors of an elevator, the doors opened, and he fell to his death.
Here is a link to articles and video clips or news stories.

Oh, not to mention ViaQuest operated the group home in Ohio where another boy, Kasey Warner, 13, died, they are in the middle of a lawsuit at their SummitQuest program for allegations of sexual abuse (the complaint is in the link above), and then there a 44 year old woman who died in a ViaQuest program. Her storie's on that link too. I wonder how many more?

ViaQuest's website is listed at the link above. I can't help but wonder if there is any connection with Vision Quest. ViaQuest's SummitQuest is where Joey died, and also where James White died, a child who seems to have vanished with not a single article, no nothing, except to be mentioned in Joey's article. How many more lost children are out there? I can't help but wonder how many die in these places, silently. Unbelievable.

In Memory of the Children Who Have Died at the Hands of Those Who Professed to Be There to Help Them
Children are Crying, Children are Dying
Written by Isabelle Zehnder
Children's worse nightmares have come true
They?ve come to take them from the lives they knew
Taken from their beds in the middle of the night
Handcuffs, pepper spray, the child cannot fight
Hired kidnappers, abductors, it's true
They convince parents it's what they must do
To save their child from dying, they had no clue
Michelle Sutton - Died May 9, 1990
They forced me to run, I was so weak
They forced me to run, I could hardly speak
I pleaded for help I was so ill
I wanted to live, that was my will
But I was crying, and slowly dying
They refused me water, I was so thirsty
I asked for a doctor they would not take me
I asked to go home, they would not let me
I tried so hard to stay alive
But that night I could no longer survive
There was no phone, no radio
We were so far that nobody could know
The others built fires a plane finally flew by
The children explained that I had died
Twenty-two hours on a lone dirt road
A tarp over my body as the wind echoed
Twenty-two hours I laid in the wind
I would have been so chagrinned
My best friend was there, she heard my cries
My best friend was there, she watched me die
Those kids in the dessert were forced to stay
Even after they saw me die that day
My mom, she's a fighter, she wants people to know
What can happen to children when you let them go
My best friend we were close you see
She named her baby Michelle after me
I was one of the children who was crying
I was one of the children who was dying
Aaron Bacon - died March 31, 1994
I held my cup, they wouldn?t fill it
I cried for help they wouldn?t give it
I was so hungry, couldn?t they see?
All they gave me was pine needle tea
I was slowly dying, and I was crying
For breakfast I foraged prickly pear cactus
For me, there in the hills, there was no solace
They forced me to hike when I was so weak
There came a point I could no longer speak
I was slowly dying, and I was crying
If mom and dad knew what I would face
They would never have sent me to this place
No blanket no sleeping bag at night
The temperature reached 25 farenheit
They called me a liar they ridiculed me
They said I was faking while my heart was breaking
While I was crying, I was slowly dying
The sky looked purple I saw lights flashing
The next thing I knew my body was thrashing
I lost the fight for life that day
How many more children must die this way?
I am one of the children who was crying
I am one of the children who was dying
Charles "Chase" Moody, Jr. - Died October 14, 2002
I was only sixteen just being a kid
Laughing and talking, that?s all I did
Shut up, quit talking, get out of your tent
Much as I tried they wouldn't relent
They grabbed me hard in the dark of the night
Three very large men, they held me tight
They grabbed me, we fell to the ground
Three men on top of me, that?s how I was found
I pleaded and cried "I cannot breathe"
But they would not listen to my pleas
As I laid there crying, as I laid there dying
I cried, I wanted to see mom and dad
They wouldn't listen, they were so mad
Those three men sat on my back that night
Those three men made me lose the fight
As I laid there crying, I laid there dying
I prayed dear God get them off of me
I knew in my heart that would be my last plea
As I lay there crying, as I lay there dying
I was one of the children who was crying
I was one of the children who was dying
Martin Lee Anderson - Died January 6, 2006
I know taking grandma's car was bad
I never knew it would make them so mad
I was only there a very short time
Six men grabbed my arm took me out of line
I just got there it was my very first day
Why were they treating me this way?
They ridiculed me, they made fun of me
They pushed me they shoved me
They grabbed me they beat me
Just when I thought that I might die
I saw a lady out of the corner of my eye
I thought dear God she's here to save me
But she just stood by and let them berate me
They were so big and I was so small
I felt I had no chance at all
No matter how much I cried
They would not stop they let me die
They beat me until that final blow
At least it was caught on a video
I know one thing, I didn't deserve to die
I wanted to see my mama, just one last time
I was one of those children who was crying
I was one of those children who was dying
Giavannia "Joey" Alteriz - Died February 2, 2006
It was a cold day in February
All I wanted to do was wear my hoody
They yelled at me said it was forbidden
They made me feel like I was in prison
They grabbed me hard and took it away
I had no idea this would be my last day
Before I knew it we were all on the ground
They sat on me I couldn't make a sound
I tried to tell them I could not breathe
They would not listen to my pleas
They pushed down on my neck so hard
They left my body full of scars
Finally my body went completely numb
I knew the end had finally come
Mama, I would like to say
I should never have died that day
I was one of those children who was crying
I was one of those children who was dying
We do not want to have suffered the pain
Only to learn we died in vain
So please tell our stories all over again
Please be our voice we can no longer speak
Though we know it?s hard, please don?t be weak
Our voices are crying out to you
What on earth are you going to do?
How many more children must die?
Before they stop the crying
Before they stop the dying
Though we're in a better place
We do not want others to have to face
The abuse, the neglect, the crying
We do not want more children dying

In Memory of the Children Who Have Died at the Hands of Those Who Professed to Be There to Help Them
Children are Crying, Children are Dying
Written by Isabelle Zehnder
Children's worse nightmares have come true
They?ve come to take them from the lives they knew
Taken from their beds in the middle of the night
Handcuffs, pepper spray, the child cannot fight
Hired kidnappers, abductors, it's true
They convince parents it's what they must do
To save their child from dying, they had no clue
Michelle Sutton - Died May 9, 1990
They forced me to run, I was so weak
They forced me to run, I could hardly speak
I pleaded for help I was so ill
I wanted to live, that was my will
But I was crying, and slowly dying
They refused me water, I was so thirsty
I asked for a doctor they would not take me
I asked to go home, they would not let me
I tried so hard to stay alive
But that night I could no longer survive
There was no phone, no radio
We were so far that nobody could know
The others built fires a plane finally flew by
The children explained that I had died
Twenty-two hours on a lone dirt road
A tarp over my body as the wind echoed
Twenty-two hours I laid in the wind
I would have been so chagrinned
My best friend was there, she heard my cries
My best friend was there, she watched me die
Those kids in the dessert were forced to stay
Even after they saw me die that day
My mom, she's a fighter, she wants people to know
What can happen to children when you let them go
My best friend we were close you see
She named her baby Michelle after me
I was one of the children who was crying
I was one of the children who was dying
Aaron Bacon - died March 31, 1994
I held my cup, they wouldn?t fill it
I cried for help they wouldn?t give it
I was so hungry, couldn?t they see?
All they gave me was pine needle tea
I was slowly dying, and I was crying
For breakfast I foraged prickly pear cactus
For me, there in the hills, there was no solace
They forced me to hike when I was so weak
There came a point I could no longer speak
I was slowly dying, and I was crying
If mom and dad knew what I would face
They would never have sent me to this place
No blanket no sleeping bag at night
The temperature reached 25 farenheit
They called me a liar they ridiculed me
They said I was faking while my heart was breaking
While I was crying, I was slowly dying
The sky looked purple I saw lights flashing
The next thing I knew my body was thrashing
I lost the fight for life that day
How many more children must die this way?
I am one of the children who was crying
I am one of the children who was dying
Charles "Chase" Moody, Jr. - Died October 14, 2002
I was only sixteen just being a kid
Laughing and talking, that?s all I did
Shut up, quit talking, get out of your tent
Much as I tried they wouldn't relent
They grabbed me hard in the dark of the night
Three very large men, they held me tight
They grabbed me, we fell to the ground
Three men on top of me, that?s how I was found
I pleaded and cried "I cannot breathe"
But they would not listen to my pleas
As I laid there crying, as I laid there dying
I cried, I wanted to see mom and dad
They wouldn't listen, they were so mad
Those three men sat on my back that night
Those three men made me lose the fight
As I laid there crying, I laid there dying
I prayed dear God get them off of me
I knew in my heart that would be my last plea
As I lay there crying, as I lay there dying
I was one of the children who was crying
I was one of the children who was dying
Martin Lee Anderson - Died January 6, 2006
I know taking grandma's car was bad
I never knew it would make them so mad
I was only there a very short time
Six men grabbed my arm took me out of line
I just got there it was my very first day
Why were they treating me this way?
They ridiculed me, they made fun of me
They pushed me they shoved me
They grabbed me they beat me
Just when I thought that I might die
I saw a lady out of the corner of my eye
I thought dear God she's here to save me
But she just stood by and let them berate me
They were so big and I was so small
I felt I had no chance at all
No matter how much I cried
They would not stop they let me die
They beat me until that final blow
At least it was caught on a video
I know one thing, I didn't deserve to die
I wanted to see my mama, just one last time
I was one of those children who was crying
I was one of those children who was dying
Giavannia "Joey" Alteriz - Died February 2, 2006
It was a cold day in February
All I wanted to do was wear my hoody
They yelled at me said it was forbidden
They made me feel like I was in prison
They grabbed me hard and took it away
I had no idea this would be my last day
Before I knew it we were all on the ground
They sat on me I couldn't make a sound
I tried to tell them I could not breathe
They would not listen to my pleas
They pushed down on my neck so hard
They left my body full of scars
Finally my body went completely numb
I knew the end had finally come
Mama, I would like to say
I should never have died that day
I was one of those children who was crying
I was one of those children who was dying
We do not want to have suffered the pain
Only to learn we died in vain
So please tell our stories all over again
Please be our voice we can no longer speak
Though we know it?s hard, please don?t be weak
Our voices are crying out to you
What on earth are you going to do?
How many more children must die?
Before they stop the crying
Before they stop the dying
Though we're in a better place
We do not want others to have to face
The abuse, the neglect, the crying
We do not want more children dying
In loving memory of:
