cheryl's kids 4 life

When we placed our child, we were told that the Sudweeks had "schools" in Canada and Mexico--which is UNTRUE. There are no schools in Canada and Mexico. We were told that our child would have the "opportunity" to visit both of these "schools" during the "school year."
There was basically NO SCHOOL in Utah either, as advertised: the Whitmore was not fully accredited, and did not have certified teachers as advertised. So what is the purpose of this current trip to Canada? Who knows. Hopefully, not to try and "hide assets," since there is currently a civil case filed against the Sudweeks!

If some kids got left behind, is there school going on for these kids? IF NOT, then just what are these parents paying for anyway at the rate of about $4,000 per month? Pretty high rates for babysitting!

i recently left the Whitmore after being there for a year and when you get out of the bubble they put you in you will see how it really was back there in utah and how the tyhings they teach you dont work in the real world for the most part. The only thing i value from that place right now is the firendships i have and what my fellow kids tought me. Some of the kids go home calling them saints ans shit but hey they are to into the place anyways. If you really stop and look at it, most of the kids there kiss ass all day to get by and then there are the real kids who know. Now im not saying i am against what they do, i love cheryl and she has nothing but love and good ntentions but common sense seems to have left her long ago. Some of the things she does there is verry childish in the fact that she has to get what she wants asap 24/7. Group is about what she wants to happen and she tries to make you into who she wants you to be. everything there like going to ammromon church and the singing is all what she wanted and with good intentions but she needs to realize that she is not there mother, in fact she is the owner of Residential treatment center/boarding school andshe cant just do what she wants and say whatever she wants to because there are certain responsibilties when it comes to owning a buiness especially one as fragile as houseing 40 kids at a time. you dont see the principle of your school trying to be like a parent and taking you to his church every sunday and having consequences if you dont. If cheryl. you do believe eberything happens for a reason then what do these lawsuits mean to you. Also the cops had to have something to be able to search the mansion. I know most of the acusations are false and are from kids who couldnt deal with there own problems, but it is time to change or retire. You make it to personal and i know u think that is the key but it isnt. You have had more than on stroke. Now she does have good intentions and physical abuse on her part is out of the question. Ya some of the kids got in fight but like every other school its normal. i dont think she deserves to go to jail at all but it iss time to wake up, get out of your hole and realize you bring this sadness upon yourself by dwelling on this website and being codependent on everone around to fix it or make you feel better. It is time for change and it is time to grow and stop acting like a spoiled child.

Thank you for your very insightful post. You did not mention anything about SCHOOL. The Sudweeks claim that they are now an ACADEMICS BOARDING SCHOOL ONLY--so the focus should be on school only; and there should not be any groups, or therapy going on at the Whitmore the past few months. Are you saying that the "therapy and group sessions have continued?
It has also been posted here that Cheryl Sudweeks never posts on this forum herself. Yet most of the threatening postings have been traced to the Whitmore. Do you think the kids at the Whitmore post these threats against former students and their parents?
What is it that Cheryl Sudweeks seems "to want to happen" from these marathon group sessions that she puts these kids through? What is her purpose?
How do you explain the abuse charges against Cheryl from your viewpoint?
Do you feel that the money your parents spent for your educational goals was well spent?
Are you prepared educationally to re-enter high school, or to go on to college?
Thank you again for posting.

yes i understand they try and say its academics only now and when i was there bernie turned thetheray into counseling for legal maters but either way it is still therapy and the authorities know it. I know they try to get around it but we know the truth. as for group she doesnt even realize she has to have a license for that. I know i can get by in colledge because i tought myself but i dont know if my diploma and transcripts will pass since im hearing toher kids are having trouble with them. I guess all i can do is try and if not im fucked.
