Isn't Isabelle Zehnder showing a little disrespect to the Turley plaintiffs by referring to this teen transport business---Sunrise Adolescent Transports?
Isn't this transport company owned by a former TEEN HELP employee, Julie Thompson, who reportedly praises Cross Creek Manor, a WWASP facility with the words, "I'd send my own daughter there?"
Isn't TEEN HELP a defendant in this lawsuit being handled by the Turley lawfirm?
Yes, Teen Help is one of the defendants in this lawsuit.
Anybody know whether the Turley lawfirm and plaintiffs are aware of the professional relationship CAICA (Isabelle Zehnder) has with PURE and apparently this transport company? Frankly I don't think it makes any difference whatsoever whether Isabelle Zehnder is compensated or not for her role in facilitating "SALES LEADS" for PURE or Sunrise Adolescent Transport.
It is interesting, that in Izzy's letter referring the parent (who I will refer to as "X") to Pure, she also included the name of an escort service that is both unlicensed, and works with WWASP. Presumably, they would transport to whatever school Sue would refer to. Keep in mind, this is coming from a publicly acknowledged friend of Sue, who claims to be an advocate, and (publicly) rails against unreglated/unlicensed Programs and transport services. Nice, trustworthy friends Sue has. It is interesting that few, if any, legitimate advocates, trust her enough to even link to Izzy's site (except, perhaps, in ridicule). She is so publicly distrusted, as is Sue, that they have an entire forum dedicated to them on Fornits.
While "X" was talking to Isabelle, the wrong phone number was initially given to he/she for Sunrise transport. It turns out, that the phone number was actually for a WWASP affiliated school (
http://www.midwestacademy.net/). How could she make such a mistake? Did she have the number memorized? Why would that be the case?
Now... Let me ask you this: Would a parent who stumbled across that school/website have any way of knowing it was associated with WWASP? Food for thought.
Note: Didn't Randall Hinton (
Sue's referral business buddy) used to work at Midwest?
In any case, Izabelle has since publicly admitted (what else could she do) that she works with Scheff, stating on
her blog:
"While Isabelle would like to be able to help all families that turn to her, it is not always possible. Sometimes she is faced with a situation that calls for outside intervention, as mentioned above. During those times she turns to Sue for help.
And when Sue receives a call from a desperate parent and feels the issues could possibly be resolved at home she will suggest parents call Isabelle to see if coaching may help keep their families together.
Sue and Isabelle do not profit from each other, nor do they have any financial relationships. This is about parents helping parents and coming together for the common goal of helping families."Do you see how the third paragraph is contradicted by the previous two? She claims there is no financial relationship. I suppose she could quibble about the definition of financial, but bi-directional referral shows a definitely business relationship where there is mutual financial gain involved. Essentially, parents are traded off as "products", holding, as customers, potential financial value. Isabelle may pretend to be an advocate, but she also publicly acknowledges herself as "CEO" of her coaching service, "Positive Family Solutions."
Sue refers to Izzy's "coaching" business which is not free, during which (i hypothesize) she systematically will say "i'm sorry.. I really think it's too serious to be dealt with... I think your son/daughter needs treatment.. Here... let me recommend PURE... Sue can help you avoid getting caught in WWASP's trap" Sue, then refers to programs that pay her for finder's fees (see WWASP vs PURE transcript for lots of goodies regarding sue's referrals).
that isn't even to mention the disclaimer on the blog, stating
"Sue Scheff and Isabelle Zehnder believe in team work. They not only work with each other but they work with a group of other professionals who all share the same goals - to keep families together whenever possible and to help find safe alternatives when it is not possible."Who are those other Professionals?
