Hello my name is Richard Harris. My wife Joyce and I have made our truthful statement about our experience with Whitmore Academy to ISAC.
The FACTS are in this statement, and our allegations against the Sudweeks on behalf our our daughter have been reported to the proper authorties in Utah.
The Whitmore is not what it promised to be, a "thearputic Boarding School". The Sudweeks misrepresented Whitmore's program and its services to us.
You will note on this site under the topic "The Truth Will Prevail" that Mark Sudweeks lied about my wife, and a Non-existent Nephi Police report. My wife and I picked up our daughter together from the Whitmore, and our daughter was not pulled by the hair in any way. This accusation by Mark Sudweeks is an absolute lie.
Many on this site seem to believe it is OK to attack my wife, and ignore the real problem--- the Sudweeks and the criminal allegations they face. I would think some of your questions would be directed at THEM!
Parents with children still at Whitmore need to be asking: What really is being done to your child? Are they really getting the help you sent them there to recieve? How can they get better with all the trouble that seems to follow and surround the Sudweeks?
Joyce and I were very fortunate that we removed our daughter from the Whitmore when we did.
Criminal Investigations; allegations of fraud;reports of unsanitary health conditions; and lack of a real education are all today part of the Whitmore life.
We placed and removed our daughter from Whitmore Academy. As parents, we support our daughter as a victim. Do we feel guilt? Of course, but not from the standpoint insinuated in the question by the Anon. We only feel guilt from the standpoint that we were deceived, and believed that the Sudweeks' program was as they advertised in their "Who Am I Discovery" brochures, and other advertisements on the internet. We feel guilty that we believed Sue Scheff was a concerned mother, who only wanted the best for our daughter when she referred us to Whitmore Academy.
We are only concerned about the rights of any children connected in any way with Whitmore Academy.
Richard Harris
