As unpopular as Scheff and Zhender are there's no way to dispute their effectiveness.
CCM girl agrees. They don't know who Scheff really is. She is the fox watching the hen house. The wolf in sheeps clothing. Scheff is the fly trap. The public needs an education.
Im very surprised at you CCM girl. Very very surprised. Arent you a survivor?
You are not aware that Sue Scheff is a fly trap for parents to get them to send their kids to her abusive programs? She has no more qualifications than Bob Lichfield.
Same with Izzie - she has hooked up with Scheff for attention and is now helping desperate parents to spend thousands on the SUE SCHEFF version of child abuse.
Are you serious? You cant see through what they are doing? You do know about criminal charges and investigations at some of the programs Scheff refers to?
Back to top
The only program I know of that has criminal charges being brought against them is Whitmore. The one Cheryl Sudweeks owned. I do realize that Scheff reffered parents there. I do also realize that Scheff refers to other programs too. I'm not sure how many of those are concidered "abusive"?
WWASPS is in a different catagory on it's own. Atleast it is for me. I think that trying to modify teens behaivor through old school ways, and hooking up with toughlove/hate ways of treating kids, having facilities that are not sanitary, having staff who have no experience and very mininmal training, and basically trying to make as big of profit as possible which means they are not putting the kind of money they should be in these programs. Not to mention the brainwashing that goes on in seminars for both parents/teens.
The reason they have been able to grow as quickly as they have is because they don't put the money they make into the programs they have. They are quantity, not quality.
I am a survivor of Cross Creek Manor, and I do want to see them change their ways. I think that parents pay a lot of money to house their teens, and they should get what they pay for. Parents are being fooled. Straight up, no other way around it. They see the glossy brochures, they hear the friendly voices on the other end of the telephone doing what they do best, selling them on the program. Parents have no clue what they are about to put their kids through.
I think that there is a need for treatment centers for teens. I believe that if therapy is not working at home, that there should be other alternatives. But, the alternatives aren't that impressive when it comes to WWASPS schools. I believe if you are going to charge the money that they do, there should be a lot more ammenities. I believe there should be more houseparents, and that they should be paid more to attract more qualified canidates. I believe that therapists should have a maximum case load of 16.
Ask your kid those of you parents that have them at a WWASP school how many other kids see your therapist? You'll be shocked to say the least when you hear the answer!!!!
I would love the opportunity to have my own place. I am not against people making a profit off of TBS's. But, I never will have my own place. I'd be more then happy to consult these guys, and tell them what they need to do, and how they could improve. But, do you think they wanna hear it from somebody like me? No. Not only that but it would require them spending more money, oh they hate that! It would mean they would need to be open about changing the programs ways. Um, they think they know it all........so that ain't happening.
If they cannot, and refuse to change their ways........they need to be shut down. Do I believe there are good programs out there, yes. Would I recommend any of WWASP schools, at this point in time absolutely fucking not.
