Treatment Abuse, Behavior Modification, Thought Reform > PURE Bullshit and CAICA
SUE SCHEFF and ISABELLE ZENDHER (PURE, CAICA, WWASP lawsuit)
CCM girl 1989:
The psychiatric hospital I was in, I believe it was in Orem, or Provo, Utah???? Was actually a nice place to be. I was sent there after cutting on myself, and for anorexia while at Heritage. Everybody was so nice. You had 1 floor of teens, one side girls the other boys. Within a few days I was running the group therapy sesssions. I was drinking a lot of ensure to get my weight back up. They would weigh me daily with my back to the numbers. If I didn't want to participate in something, I didn't. I had the freedom of going back and forth to my room.
I was bummed when I returned to Heritage, even more bummed when I was picked up by Karr Farnsworth, and Bob Lichfield and transported to Cross Creek.
That's the way it goes!

Seems Isabelle has edited her original promotional ad for PURE. Here's the new and improved one:
CAICA knows the importance of warning parents against abusive programs. We also realize parents need options. Looking for help for your child can be daunting, at best. Sue Scheff and Marie Peart at P.U.R.E., know the industry well and have been helping parents to find safe alternatives and options for their teens and children for seven years, providing them with tools and resources. You can reach them at www.helpyourteens.com, 866-798-2285.

Seems Isabelle has a very select memory or a bad case of amnesia.
Sue Scheff continued to refer to WWASPS after she started PURE.
That's a fact that can be found in the WWASPS v. PURE transcripts.
Additionally, Marie and Sue both worked for WWASPS in the past.
And Marie Peart has her own website in addition to now working for PURE.

Buyer Beware!
Isabelle may like to call herself a child advocate, but promoting unregulated programs and referral services while at the same time exploiting the deaths of children in abusive facilties makes her part of the problem, not the solution.
Nice touch adding the phone number. Wouldn't want to inconvenience those "desperate" parents or make it difficult for them to send their children to a program that pays a finder's fees to outfits like PURE.
Oh and by the way. What are the names of these safe programs you promote through your endorsement of PURE, Isabelle?
We are still waiting for an answer.
:roll:

You'll be waiting a long time for that answer I am afraid! What I want to know is how they choose their programs to refer kids to? Do they go there and investigate them themselves, or is it merely who ever pays them the most money for a referal fee gets their stamp of approval? No disrespect towards them, or anyone in the business. But, I am curious.

Yeah, looks like Isabelle deleted the word "recommend" from her PURE plug. Wonder why? :rofl:
As for PURE, since they don't name the programs they promote, one could presume they are afraid parents will simply contact the programs themselves - thereby cutting out the middle man? Or maybe they are afraid of competition? From other referral outfits? Who the hell knows. The referral business is as unregulated as the teen help business is. It's a racket, IMO. Anybody can be one. No experience or education necessary.
