Sue Scheff, President of Parent Universal Resource Experts (P.U.R.E) announced new company objectives and goals for 2007. ?We are very pleased with the results and the progress that P.U.R.E made in 2006,? said Scheff.
With a re-vamped website offering new parent resources, a favorable court ruling defeating an appeal from World-wide Association of Specialty Programs and Schools (WWASPS), and an award of $11.3 million in a victory against Internet defamation, the year has been eventful for Scheff who is arguably one of the nation?s outspoken proponents for family advocacy and parent awareness.
?This past year has taught me a lot about my convictions regarding the teen help industry and the reality that I will always be someone under attack on forums and blogs in an effort to be discredited,? continued Scheff. ?But, I vow to continue to fight to raise parent awareness and offer parents support through professional referral resources and services for many more years to come.?
Parent?s Universal Resources was founded in 2001 by a group of parent advocates to help families in crisis with defiant or struggling teens. ?P.U.R.E. was established to offer first hand experience and share schools and programs that we would send our own children to. We are not therapists, or medical doctors; we are parents helping parents,? said Scheff.
P.U.R.E.?s confidence in best-of-class service offering comes from associations with behavioral health professionals that are highly credible and reliable. They operate a very rigorous screening process that includes a network of schools and programs that offer national accreditation for education and vocation, a therapeutic milieu?s that mandates at least 10 hours of clinical intervention per student per week, and a transition approach that requires participation of the entire family unit. ?With our added associations with the Better Business Bureau, States Attorney Generals Offices, and the Alliance for Children & Families, we believe we are a more thorough and objective option for parents,? concluded Scheff.
In connection with assisting parents, P.U.R.E. helps organizations such as Coalition Against Institutionalized Child Abuse (CAICA www.caica.org) to insure that children are kept safe and are not placed in abusive environments. P.U.R.E. is also involved in the distribution of ?What Every Parent Needs to Know,? an informational DVD that further educates parents on how to find the right programs and schools for their family and teen. Sue Scheff will also have her first book, ?At Wit?s End? published in spring 2007.

"Admittedly I did associate with Hinton, Lisa Irvin, and other Teen Help employees. However, that in no way means I condone what they did or what they do."
Honey- you not only condoned what they did, but you KEPT ON REFERRING until you could not squeeze illegal fees out of Teen Help.
Isn't this the same kind of condoning you, Sue Scheff, have done with Sudweeks and Whitmore Academy in Utah? Exactly the same Missie Scheff.
You are exactly what we all think of you: You are a Robert Lichfied and you are a WWASP. You and your Izzy posting here on fornits does not convince us. We know who you are Rat-So and no matter how many little self-serving articles you have others write for you, you are a PROFESSIONAL LIAR SUE SCHEFF.
FUCK YOU SUE AND FAT-IZZY AND GET THE HELL OFF THIS FORUM!!!!!!!!!!!!

The campaign to destroy and discredit me on the Internet exploded. At one point it was so out of control that I had to take legal action to protect the privacy of my family and children. Carey Bock, a woman who I believe was retained by WWASPS, continued posting excerpts from confidential and sealed depositions about my family. Though I had nothing to hide, it was a matter of our privacy which I am sure most people can relate to.

What the heck? Retained by WWASPS?
IMO, Scheff (or whoever wrote this if she didn't) should support her "beliefs" with some kind of documentation because on it's face, this statement makes no sense at all.
BuzzKill:
/// Initially I believed in the program and was one of their supporters. That quickly stopped when I learned what they had done to my daughter. ///
This is what you told us and we believed it; until we got our hands on a transcript of your SLC trial. You lied to us and your lying still.
/// While I was under the enchantment of WWASPS I was completely (in my opinion) brainwashed as one of their followers. Those of you who were once involved with WWASPS will understand this. I would venture to say I was one of their top referral parents. ///
What you saw was a big fat cash cow and you set out to milk it. I personally don't think you were brainwashed in the manner of many other Programmed parents. I now believe saw dollar signs, and you wanted a share of the profits. What ever happen to your daughter didn't make any difference to you, as you keep selling the program, up to and until Kevin Richey put a plug on your cash flow. All this is a matter of public record now Sue - so why the continued lies?
/// When I first became involved with WWASPS Randall Hinton was my Sales Representative. Over the months he helped me with my parent referrals. Some time after I discovered what happened to my daughter Hinton left WWASPS/Teen Help. He kept in touch with me every so often via e-mail. Eventually he ended up in Puerto Rico where he agreed to interview for Zadig Productions ///
I had assumed it was you who put them in touch. I also assume it is you who put at least one new paper reporter in touch with him. But I notice, you never did tell Layne or his mom where he was - even though you knew full well they very much wanted this information. Why not? Could it be you saw some possible self interest in protecting him? Could it be you were referring to his little program? I don't know - I am just asking - why would you with hold this information from this most seriously abused boy and his mother?
///Shortly after his interview, Hinton went back to work for WWASPS///
Typical. They got Ken hired back on right after the Desperate Measure article as well. This is not an uncommon business tactic. Wonder if your anger with the program is actually that Bobby never made you an offer of lucrative employment to shut you up?
///Admittedly I did associate with Hinton, Lisa Irvin, and other Teen Help employees. However, that in no way means I condone what they did or what they do. ///
Well, not unless there is some money in it. You had no problem with the accusations against Whitmore - which were serious and made by multiple families - not just one kook parent - or one disturbed and lying, manipulative kid. You borrowed the defense of your WWASP teachers - attack those who speak out, and deny, deny, deny. Adding a few juicy lies helps to. I mean, claiming to have read a report that hadn't been written yet - what could have been your motive? Seems to me you were desperate to add credibility to your disintegrating story, and were willing to lie in the attempt.
/// People have e-mailed or called me asking about these e-mails that are showing up on Internet forums, and I have answered them what I have stated here. ///
I sure do hope they were able to see through your crap.
/// I am moving on from the past and looking forward to a tremendous future helping to educate parents from my personal experiences. ///
And so shall we all.
Joyce Harris:
I'm am the "kook parent" that that Buzzkill makes reference to.
I have a problem with Sue Scheff's words, "Freedom of Speech does not give a person the right to destroy, discredit, defame and ruin others with false statements."
Sue Scheff and Mark Sudweeks spread the vicious LIE/rumor/story that they had PROOF that I threw my daughter down the stairs at Whitmore Academy the night we removed her from this facility. Sue Scheff and Mark Sudweeks both said they had a POLICE REPORT documenting this incident. THIS WAS A BOLD FACE LIE: Officer Wright, who escorted my husband and me to the Whitmore Academy to pick up our daughter had not even written a police report at the time Sue Scheff and Mark Sudweeks were spreading this horrendous LIE about me.
Officer Wright did write a report, later: and his report verifies that I did not do anything abusive towards my daughter or anyone.
This was all posted on ISAC at the time it occurred, and can be read there---Shelby Earnshaw posted the important parts of Officer Wright's Polce Report; which proves Sue Scheff and Mark Sudweeks lied about about me.
Sue Scheff has spread other LIES about me---and she knows it. Some of these lies are verbal, and some of these lies are in written form. Anyone listening to what Sue Scheff, has said about me, would believe that I am "evil...that I sit on the right hand of the devil...that my daughter is a liar....that I paid Whitmore children to lie about being abused by the Sudweeks....that I am crazy........"
I am none of those things, and I did none of those things.
My husband and I wrote a statement to ISAC, and in this statement we criticized Sue Scheff's referral of our family to Whitmore Academy. We are not the only Whitmore family who wrote such a statement to ISAC, criticizing Sue Scheff and Pure--but I have been targeted by Sue Scheff: once even receiving a letter from her attorney, Mr. Pollack. This letter is posted on ISAC.
It appears that Ms. Scheff believes she can speak mistruths about others, at will: but any criticism of Sue Scheff and PURE generates litigation threats..
I agree with Sue Scheff: "FREEDOM of SPEECH" does not give her the "right" to "destroy, discredit, defame and ruin others with false statements"---and I would appreciate if she would stop doing that in regards to me and my daughter.
