One boy who had to wear "the clothes" was at the mall with the group, and Cheryl would yell at complete strangers to "look at him! Ask him why he's dressed that way!" Humiliated this boy to no end. He had run away, and after being beat up really bad, this was additional punishment.
Nope, he didn't just get talked to, and be made to promise to mend his ways. He was beat badly!
Gmom:
I was visiting at Whitmore in the early summer of 2004, and I observed two boys with girls -- what looked like pink girl's pajamas over their own clothes. I saw them first at the mansion, then at the boy's house. They were being made to work
outside in extremely hot weather, in the 100's. I saw them on, at least, two different days. Leah wanted me to get them a slurpy at 7-11, which I did. I asked Leah about it at the time and she sor of sluffed it off. About a month later, after her departure from the Whitmore, I asked her about it again. It was at that time she told me the boys had tried to run away.
It was really a hard image for me to get out of my head. The humulitaion of teenagers is something that I find very cruel and hurtful. It is a form of bullying.

"Anneliese you have been honest in your postings. What does happen to runaways at Whitmore when they are brought back? MOUSE says they are talked to about it and realize their mistakes and usually just don't do that again."

I can tell you right now that that is absolutely untrue. Kids were screamed at, hit, and humiliated in horrible ways. They were also made to do hard labor in extreme weather. One girl had to shovel the sidewalks in a tank-top, shorts, and no shoes. Others did digging, hauling, lifting etc in 90 + degree weather. I remember one time three of the boys got ahold of a cell phone and called one their friends in Texas to try and arrange to be picked up. Mark and Cheryl found out somehow so we had a big group during which two boys were slapped and one was choked and thrown. No one can post saying this didn't happen, I was responsible for it so I KNOW. The group took place at night so the next morning they were given "the clothes". The clothes were basically the tackiest clothes you could find at the Goodwill. The outfits that were leopard-print tank top and silk pants, pink turtle-neck and sweats (keep in mind this is late spring), and something with kittens or flowers on it I think. They weren't allowed to wear shoes and for the next couple weeks they toted around by two of the staff doing odd-jobs and maitenance outside. They weren't allowed to change and they only got to shower a couple times the whole time. Their heads were also buzzed during the group. Cheryl said that one of the boy's long hair was keeping him stuck in the "stoner mentality" so she had all their heads buzzed. OK, so all that for an ATTEMPTED runaway. I could tell you quite a few other stories about people who actually ran away, but for the sake of making I decided to show you all the crap that was done even when running away was still just a thought in your mind. Mouse I don't know what kind of cock-and-bull you're trying to feed these people, but that's really pathetic. That's all I have to say, it's pathetic.

Stupid is as stupid does. I feel sorry for these kids whose parents are stuck on stupid.

Slapped...choked...thrown...hair buzzed: all in a Group session with Mark and Cheryl present.
ALL this just because they may have been THINKING ABOUT RUNNING AWAY????
And no one wants to think about what MAY HAVE HAPPENED to these 3 boys who actually did RUN?
What about the KIDS who filed these charges, and have described the abuses they DID suffer for running? These victims, who have witnesess who collaborate the abuse? Some of the witnesses even admit that they participated in the abuse because Cheryl INSTRUCTED and FORCED them to abuse the run-away victims!!!!!
THEN people like Mary Gentile post on here, and accuse these children of lying, and accuse the parents of these children of being evil liars...and hold the Sudweeks up as loving, caring friends of hers.
Something is terribly WRONG when the victims of child abuse are attacked like this by a woman, who then spends hours on a forum proclaiming her love for GOD and and depicting her own Christainity, and writing pages of her own self-serving descriptions of her motherhood: leaving dinner parties to tuck in her children, never going out of town unless she takes her children, etc etc....
YET she places her own son in NOT ONE, but TWO treatment facilities that have been PROVEN to be abusive. THEN DARES to criticize parents and call them liars when they remove their chilren and file charges against the owners/abusers.
