It has been stated all along. The authorities have their job to do, and they have and will continue to do it. Highly charged speculations change not a lot. It will play itself out in the legal arena, and justice will be served!

Well, I'm not surprised to hear this news. Usually, where there's smoke, there's fire.
Unfortunately, at the Whitmore, where there was smoke, there were also mirrors. Hopefully the smoke and mirrors gig is up and these folks will be held to account for what they've done and what has happened on their watch.
We'll just have to wait and see...

Can you say what the seven counts are?
If its true she is being charged and warrents have been issued - wouldn't that be "public knowledge"?
YA know - like Nephi's most wanted - for this, and that, and the other thing. If seen please call. . .
So, what are the charges?

Academy owner facing charges
Boarding school: She stands accused of child abuse and hazing at a now-defunct treatment center
By Kirsten Stewart
The Salt Lake Tribune
The owner of a controversial Utah boarding school has been charged with five misdemeanor counts of child abuse and two counts of hazing.
Charging documents filed last week by the Juab County Attorney's office allege Cheryl Sudweeks of Whitmore Academy in Nephi humiliated and physically harmed four children between April 2003 and November 2004. The children were enrolled at a now-defunct residential treatment center formerly associated with the boarding school.
Sudweeks, 50, has been summoned to appear before Nephi's 4th District Court on June 23.
Nephi police could not be reached for details late Friday. But Juab County Attorney Jared Eldridge says the charges were filed as part of an investigation of alleged abuse at Whitmore that began in November.
It led to the closing of the residential treatment facility.
Eldridge said none of the evidence amassed implicates Sudweeks' husband, Mark, who co-owns Whitmore. Mark Sudweeks declined to comment on the investigation or the charges Friday.
Eldridge said the criminal probe is ongoing.
"It has been a difficult investigation because we have witnesses who are scattered across the country. Some have been difficult to pin down," said Eldridge.
Whitmore still operates a boarding school catering

to about 32 students, ages 12 to 17.
The school has recently balked at coming under state regulation, arguing it is not a therapeutic facility, a category covered under a new law passed to crack down on Utah's thriving teen-help industry.
Utah licensing director Ken Stettler said until the school is covered by state regulations there is nothing he can do to intervene.
Officials at the Division of Child and Family Services say they have no reason to believe children at Whitmore are at risk, nor are they currently investigating any complaints of neglect or abuse.
"But if any parent has reason to believe there might be abuse going on we definitely want them to contact us," said DCFS spokeswoman Elizabeth Sollis.

The world is so exquisite, with so much love and moral depth, that there is no reason to deceive ourselves with pretty stories for which there's no good evidence. Far better, it seems to me, to look death in the eye and to be grateful every day for the brief but magnificent opportunity that life provides.

Misdemeanor? For humiliating and hazing?
What's the penalty? One slap on each wrist?
Any parents pulling their kids yet or being privately contacted by referral agents to recommend a different program ... free of charge, of course ... gag me!

this should have been FELONY charges-- maybe more to come...................
-
At least this is a start. At least charges have been filed, not just one, but seven. That is significant. And remember, these are just the charges for now. Investigation is on-going. No doubt more charges will follow.
-
More charges to follow.
And let's not forget PEEK ER. Still invetigaing Markie BOY, don't forget that!
He's not been cleared yet.

The need HELP? Is Lawyer Jack's legal fund running low? Give me a break!
-
Well .. it's not hard to see how dependent the Sudweeks are upon the support of their legion of faithful followers now that it's getting hot in the kitchen.
And people don't think this is cultish behavior?
Good grief! How could it be any more obvious?
:roll:
-
no different than your negative followers
-
No one here BEGGING for letters of support or LAWYER FEES are they?
-
Why are they asking the parents for help? Why would they have to ask? If they are not guilty, why are they so scared? Why can they not speak for themselves? We know the kids are usually used to be mouth pieces, now they are giving the parents their poor, picked-on song and dance and want them to be mouth pieces. I really don't know how they sleep at night -- well, I guess, they, at least Cheryl doesn't.

Dear Mark Sudweeks,
In Response to you pleas for help:
We would be glad to remove all our children
from Whitmore Academy.
Then you and Cheryl would have no expenses for
all that "school counseling," so you could fire
the PRETEND DR. Bernie.
You could save all that money for the mice-shit
rice, cheerios and macaroni the kids get to eat "sometimes."
You could save all that money on gas for the BIG WHITE BUS.
Then you would have LOTS OF MONEY for Lawyer Jack and won't have to beg so pitifully.
Does that help?

LOL ... why would the Sudweeks have to beg for money to pay their legal fees? It's not like they don't have jobs.
