H. B. FULLER SUED IN TEEN'S DEATH
By Paul McEnroe and Susan E. Peterson

A lawsuit alleging that H.B. Fuller's toxic glue products caused the 1993 death of a 16-year-old Guatemalan boy was filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in St. Paul. The suit promises to escalate the debate surrounding corporate responsibility and the plight of tens of thousands of Central American children who are addicted to inhalants.

The suit charges that for years leading up to his death, Joel Linares suffered severe physical and neurological injuries as a result of inhaling Fuller's products, chief among them Resistol, a glue popular among Central American street children.

Linares died Jan. 4, 1993. The suit claims that his death was a result of negligence by Fuller because it knew that the glue products containing the chemical toluene were lethal and that it did not issue adequate warnings that usage would cause injury and death.

If u>S. District Judge Michael Davis certifies the case for a jury trial, the plaintiff's attorney, Scott Hendler of Austin, Texas, will seek class-action status by spring, Hendler said Wednesday. Such an action could create a potentially immense liability against the company because of the large number of children in Central America who sniff glue.

The suit claims that Fuller designed its "products in such a way that children such as Joel Linares would be attracted to the products' fumes despite the company's knowledge of the dangers [its] products posed to children." It also claims that Fuller failed to warn adequately about product dangers.

Fuller officials said they will ask their lawyers to seek immediate dismissal of the suit. Fuller said it will seek dismissal on the grounds that if the suit belongs in any court, it belongs in Guatemala.

"Substance abuse is a sad and pervasive social problem, whether it involves alcohol, prescription drugs, illegitimate drugs, gasoline. aerosol products or other inhalants," said Janice Symchych, an attorney representing Fuller. "Good evidence suggests that substance-abusing children will seek out one substance or another depending on what's available in their environment. This shows that the problem should not be treated as a legal issue related to any given product and that it is beyond the logical scope of the courts to resolve."

She said it was "grossly illogical to put American courts in the position of addressing the social problems of Central American street children."

After a July 1992 decision by its board of directors, Fuller said it would stop sales of Resistol in Central America "wherever it is being misused."

As a result, Fuller said it was removing the product from retail sales in Guatemala and Honduras. At the time, Fuller's decision was praised widely by business analysts and editorial writers, who also lauded the company's position that inhalant abuse should be attacked on a broader scale. Fuller has prided itself on funding social, educational and drug treatment programs to try to help street children.

But now the suit is forcing the company's actions to be re-examined.

Children's advocates in Central America, as well as in the United States, say that Fuller continues to sell Resistol in Guatemala and Honduras and that it is easily available to children throughout Central America.

Tighter controls on distribution would have prevented Fuller's products from "falling into the hands of children such as Joel Linares," the suit claims. "An unknown number of children have died from these injuries."

Advocates say Fuller should add harsh-smelling oil of mustard seed to its glue products to discourage inhalant abuse. The Linares death could have been avoided if such an additive was used, the suit claims.

But Fuller maintains that adding another toxic ingredient into its adhesives would harm legitimate users such as shoemakers. Further, it said it recently changed the formula of its industrial glue in Central America, removing toluene and adding cyclohexane, a fouler smelling toxic chemical.

Fuller said it has been trying to come up with a water-based, nontoxic replacement glue for years, and in 1994 it formed a partnership with an unnamed chemical company to develop such a product.

Effective HIV/AIDS Treatment Requires More than Medications

At 17 years old, many kids feel invincible. But Ismael knows different.
After testing at the Dr. Trejo Health Clinic in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, the teen learned the sobering news that he was HIV positive.

Ismael was placed on an antiretroviral treatment regimen to combat the physical problems associated with HIV. Jenny Aguilar, a Project HOPE HIV/AIDS program nurse working at the clinic, reassured Ismael that the medicine would help strengthen his immune system, improve his overall health and ultimately prolong his life. She also explained the importance of continuing his treatments on a regular schedule.

Ismael was directed to come back to the clinic monthly for his treatments. For six months, he faithfully reported to his treatment appointments and doctors’ visits. But eventually, Ismael stopped showing up at the clinic.

Part of the HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention program in Honduras is dedicated to providing preventive and support services to people living with HIV/AIDS. Ismael’s absence was quickly noticed, and Jenny made a home visit to the young patient’s Rivera Hernández neighborhood, where he lived with an aunt. She found Ismael very discouraged.

Through one-on-one counseling with the boy, Jenny was able to motivate Ismael to re-start his treatment at the clinic.

But when Ismael approached the HIV/AIDS clinic to continue his necessary treatments, he once again turned away and did not go in.

Jenny did not give up. She continued to visit Ismael in his home, gaining his trust and offering him emotional support. Finally, Ismael opened up to the dedicated Project HOPE nurse, expressing his feelings of doubt and fear. He also revealed his reluctance in seeking treatment in the same facility as older adults.

Jenny was able to offer Ismael a solution. The AIDS clinic at the Dr. Trejo Health Clinic had recently divided to provide a special pediatric clinic for children and young people with HIV/AIDS. The pediatric clinic offered Ismael an atmosphere less intimidating than the adult clinic. There, he found emotional support through other young people like himself, with the same fears, concerns and doubts.

With regular treatments, Ismael, now 19, has improved considerably. He receives his monthly treatments dutifully and does not miss a doctor’s appointment. He is doing better physically. “He still has some problems,â€

Core Solutions Takes Proactive Stand
October 14, 2007



In light of the recent Congressional Hearing, Core Solutions is taking a proactive stand to work in alliance with Schools and Programs intent on being viewed as Family Friendly, transparent in its day-to-day operations, and working in concert with the parents they serve.

The follow-up Congressional Hearing is scheduled for February 2008. As an industry, we must prepare. There has never been a more critical time to further empower and rally the support of your families. Their voices need to be heard and their stories told. They are your strength, your strongest ally and are the evidence of your true and honest intent.

Some key areas of value that our Bulletin Board services will provide to your Program:



A private secured online Bulletin Board system customized specifically for your program, available 24/7; includes regular monitoring to preserve the integrity of your School's Community.

The Schools are viewed as running a transparent program; no shroud of secrecy.

Viewed as a Family Friendly program. Your Bulletin Board quickly enhances and expands the family component of your program, providing a way for your families to tightly team with you for the true intent of actual family healing, not just treating their child.

Each Board reflects the individual branding of that Facility, i.e.: colors, logo, feel and they develop their own Facility Culture.

The overall Board culture reinforces the need for following program guidelines, graduation, and family involvement in order to make the changes needed for when their child returns home and to support their child's changes.

We have a very reputable reference list that you are welcome to contact.

A private, secure online central location to post Parent Manuals, Photos, News Articles, Research, Training and Resource Information, up-to-date notices about the Facility, Staff, returning graduate visits, upcoming events, family weekends, graduations, and showcase accomplishments, academic info, etc.

Economical for the Facilities, as we handle the training, monitoring, registrations, invites, terminations, and technical issues 365 days a year, including 'after hours'.

Our streamlined proven Bulletin Board system eliminates the learning curve of getting an online Community going for the families, and helping a program make it work for them.

The Administration will gain solid feedback on the effectiveness and dependability about Staff and program outcome.

Be Prepared. A functional Bulletin Board is the quickest, most efficient and effective way to become part of the solution by having a communication system that will aid your program in being prepared in all areas for the upcoming Congressional Hearing.



There are two things that are here to stay: technology and parent's needs. However, due to the unique nature of our industry, it takes much more then technical know-how to make a Bulletin Board work effectively and productively for a program. It's not just about setting a system up. It's about how to make that system work in sync with the goals and vision of the program. How to create unity and teamwork. We know how to make your Bulletin Board Service help communication with your parents, so that it doesn't work against you. It's the combined background of the Core Solutions Team - our experience and dedication to the family healing industry - that marries the two successfully!

Recognizing every private entity in the family healing field has an obligation and responsibility to be part of the solution, Core Solutions is willing to be the first contributor by offering a rate reduction through November 20th, 2007. Contact www.CoreBB.com to learn more.

What's with these links to Honduras dive sites and these porn sites that Scheff has on this blog site?

[Anonymous]

Someone must have hijacked that link somehow because that's not the original blog, which was the one on Whitmore that Isabelle wrote then later deleted, IIRC. I'd have to search Fornits to be sure and don't have time.  Maybe someone else remembers?  Weird stuff going on!

[Anonymous]

Or  could it be that Scheff may just like promoting Honduras on her blog?
Scheff promotes the Whitmore Sudweeks and they seem to like hanging out down in Mexico, don't they?

Clearly, reading the paranoid ramblings of Sue Scheff reveals a maladjusted person on the verge of a complete mental breakdown.

[Anonymous]

Reading those vicious satire blogs written about people who seemed to have all been friends of Scheff's at one time; does seem to have a feeling of paranoid, and desperation about them, don't they?
Bet lots of people might be glad they were never in the Sue Scheff circle-of-friends!

Clearly, reading the paranoid ramblings of Sue Scheff reveals a maladjusted person on the verge of a complete mental breakdown.

I think this and the description of Scheff as having a narcissistic personality disorder sums up who she really is, underlying all of Scheff's frantic, empty, and never-ending blogging.  She is like the proverbial dog chasing its tail, but she dances on the insane side of life, while pretending to be normal and "special."  

I notice she likes to say she is, "working with" a number of professionals.  These are really empty words from a sad shell of a person.  

She is the main character in "The Metamorphasis."  A human that has turned into an insect with tenacles.
