--- Quote from: ""Oz girl"" ---Gail Degraff used to be associated with a program that killed a girl. The state shut her down and she has built a career sending kids to other places or helping to run them..
--- End quote ---
Built a career with Sue Scheff

Actually Palmer aka Degraff probably taught it to Sue, Degraff has been in the business since before 1990 when she was selling kids to Challenger, she might have been in the business, for longer, I am not sure.
The more I know ...excuse me ::puke::

I am really bothered by the fact that Gayle Palmer, AKA, Gayle DeGraff is listed on the Liahona Academy website as the person to contact for "Inrollment Info." Someone PLEASE tell me what has changed since the death of my daughter............ :question:
After the death of my daughter, Gayle was shut down in Utah under the name of Gayle Palmer. Gayle moved her program (Summit Quest) to Nevada and was once again shut down. In July of 1991 the state of Nevada served Gayle with a court injunction to shut down her operation. The Nevada court injunction stated that Gayle did not like the decision of the court, so she continued to operate while hiding the children. The court injunction also stated that Gayle had an Ex-Felon working for her along with her (17) year old daughter who was supervising the "children."
In July of 1994 there was an article in the ST GEORGE SPECTRUM revealing that Gayle Palmer had started yet another program for "troubled youth." The article revealed that Gayle's program was NOT LICENSED with the state or federal government. Gayle's program was revealed when a (14) year old girl ran away and was spotted by a pair of archaelogists at a dig near Hurricane, Utah.
The Article Reads:

I called Utah DHS today and asked Ken Stettler if Liahona Academy has to disclose the people who market their program to DHS? He told me they monitor the clients and counselors, but have no say in the marketing end. He stated they are working on something that would require honest dealings by the program to consumers. BUT, NOTHING holding the market people responsible for how they sell the programs.
SO, nothing has changed!
The same person who SOLD us a pack of lies is out there selling programs to desperate parents. How is a person to know about this person's shady past when it isn't even required by the state that these people be licensed, let alone, disclose their past? It appears that Gayle is following in Steve Cartisano's footsteps. He too took on alias names to stay under the radar.
Disgusted and Frustrated!

Cathy, I believe I read somewhere that Gayle Palmer was involved with Red Rock Ranch Academy, which was a wilderness therapy program that closed after the death of a young girl a few years ago.
