Unbelievable but not suprising considering the source.  

Just one question.  How does this lady sleep at night?

--- Quote ---I recently received a distrubing voice-mail message from a former student of the Whitmore Academy. He was not willing to share his name with me, but his message was threatening and he ndicated he wanted me to take down this blog. I called him back and we spoke. I explained that I had performed an investigation into the allegations of child abuse at the Whitmore and that I had interviewed many former Whitmore students and parents, Mark and Cheryl Sudweeks, lawyers, government officals, and others, and that I had visited the Whitmore.

I also explained that many children have felt their voices could not be heard because every time they tried to speak about a positive experience they had at the Whitmore, they were criticized and called liars and told they were manipulated by the Sudweeks. I explained that these children truly believe their lives were made better by their experiences at the Whitmore and they all adamently agreed there was no abuse there.

After we talked a while I asked what he wanted me to do - did he still want me to take down my blog? He said he could understand that these kids, too, want to have a place where their voices can be heard, and that no, he was not asking me to take it down. He said that he, too, did have some good times there and that he, at times, just wanted to be home.

He did say I wasn't there so I don't know what happened - he is right that I was not there. Therefore, I have to base my investigation on what I was told by the people who were there - former students - as well as their parents and others. This blog is simply a place for the other side of the story to be heard.

Civil and criminal lawsuits were filed against the Whitmore. The civil suit is ongoing, but the criminal suit has been resolved. The state indicated they did not have the evidence needed to prove abuse or to prosecute the Sudweeks. They entered into a plea agreement with the Sudweeks in an effort to resolve the case. Cheryl was ordered to perform community service and to not operate a program for children for one year in Juab County.

Whoa --- is Isabelle dumb as rocks or what?

Her blog on Whitmore just made the case for WWASPS parents and kids who claim they had a positive experience with the program.

Way to go Izzy.

Cheryl Sudweeks' plea bargain:
She is banned from operating any program where she works with children in Juab County for life.....not just for a year.
