I am aware that there are still three kids still attending the Whitmore. I've been exchanging email with one of them recently. I know they want to be there. I was close with all three of them. Two of those kids you mentioned have already fulfilled their contract with Whitmore, if you think that is really a big deal.
And to the other anon, I've been doing great, thanks for asking. I work 30-40 hrs a week doing finish carpentry. I bought a new car, I keep myself busy. I'm very happy.
My advise was for the people who have the time to perpetuate the bullshit that has been floating around the internet for a very long time. I learned many things from Cheryl while I was still in Utah. I learned to appriciate what life has to offer. I'm not saying that getting laid is going to solve any problems, it was a jest, sometimes people just get overly sexually frustrated.
I am also aware of the County Attorney charging Cheryl with abuse/hazing against the 4 children. I was contacted about it. I still have to say, there are people who are accused unjustly, that's just something that happens in an imperfect world. Not much you can do about it. Cheryl isn't perfect, niether are you and I. She's a great woman, and I am and always will be good friends with her. Charged or not.
The Whitmore Academy might not be your average boarding school, it may have been unconventional, but I never regret my 14 months there.(Yes I stayed longer by my choice) I was originally sent there because my mom felt I was addicted to pot, and because I was defiant. I didn't agree with such a drastic consequence as a boarding school for either of these reasons. Now after being there
for 14 months, and now being back home for 6, I would never change what happened. I learned so many life changing lessons that I belive most people should learn growing up.
It's possible that one of the "abused kids" really did have something happen to him/or her. I will tell you that Cheryl had nothing to do with it, and did not allow, or condone it in any way. She stopped it as soon as she knew about it. If one of the kids who is claiming abuse happens to read this, I'm sorry for whatever happened. You, and no one else on here is welcome to correct me, or offer conversation, but I don't believe whatever happened is worth of putting Cheryl through what you have. I would say take it up with the families of whatever kids did it to you, but there are obvious reasons that isn't possible.
I hope that everyone is able to figure this thing out, or at least be open that while she is being charged, and there is a criminal trial, that doesn't mean shit exuse my launguage.
Thanks for your time.
