Whitmore Academy in Utah?
Anonymous:
Why Did Mary Sudweeks plead guilty to animal cruelty in Canada if it was just a "Mis communication issue?" COME ON PEOPLE!!!!!!
Rachellynn:
Well I Know a few of the kids there. They seem to be happy. I think its doing good for them. I hope if you have trouble with a child you would consider it.
Write me and let me know what you think.
Rach.

These kids are forced to administer punishment on each other. They are AFRAID to tell this to the authorities. Of course they are afraid. They need to tell their parents what is going on. If they refuse to administer the punishment, the others are forced to TURN ON THEM.
Parents---get out of denial!!!
Talk to your kids who are there.
Why are your kids on this site now....why aren't they in school?
Those who are the "PUNISHERS" are at as much risk, psychologically as the ones being injured.

That is an OUT RIGHT LIE...not one of the 4 kid withdrawn from Whitmore had a history of drug abuse. That is an OUTRIGHT LIE.
They were withdrawn to remove them from a place that was being investigated for CHILD ABUSE.
It is that simple, PEOPLE.

Whoa there, looks like someone is into assumptions... I hate assumptions. Assume = make an a** of u and me.
Don't try to say it like you know it if you really don't. :roll:

There is NO STRUCTURE at Whitmore.

Actually, we have a full schedule that goes from 4:30 in the morning all the way to bedtime. Everyone follows it with exceptions of group trips to town and our travel study. It's on the website if you don't believe me, and it's been there for quite some time. Go look at it. Right now. I dare you.

Cheryl Sudweeks leads the GROUP SESSIONS, many that she starts at all hours of the night...some go on as late as 3AM.

What's wrong with Cheryl leading group? I think she does a great job of it, actually.
All hours of the night? If you consider 7:00 or 8:00 'all hours,' then yeah, sure. Believe me, she loves sleep just as much as anyone else, and she is always at group, awake, the whole time that we are.
About the 3am thing, group ends around midnight at the very latest. I've seen a few go later than that, yes; a few. No more than that. If it goes too late, we sleep later the next morning and we just bump schedule up to fit that time.

Cheryl Sudweeks is NOT a therapist, she does not even have a college degree.
--- End quote ---
Like I said before, don't talk unless you know the facts. Cheryl graduated from Brigham Young University (BYU) of Utah. And why does she need to be a therapist in the first place? Albert Einstein failed math, but still turned out a genius. Someone doesn't need to have a degree or official education in an area to be completely awesome at it. She doesn't even conduct therapy, anyway. Our therapist does.

Tim Lowe, the therapist left in Nov. A new therapist David was let go by Cheryl Sudweeks. ONE therapist could never meet the needs of 40 kids.
--- End quote ---
You're right, those people do not work here anymore. However, something you obviously do not know is that we do have a therapist, and he does work here, and he does do a wonderful job.

These group sessions would mostly target ONE KID to humiliate that one kid.
--- End quote ---
We do focus on the issues of individual kids at times, but we by no means humiliate them. We confront them on what the problem is, discuss what could be causing it, and figure out how we can solve it. We do this by means of talking; that is, not cussing, yelling, screaming, or violence of any kind.
--- Quote ---These kids were sleep deprived daily.
--- End quote ---
Sleep deprived? We get up early to get an early start on our day and for the self-discipline we learn from it. Bedtime is 10:00pm. I don't see what you're talking about right here, because that is plenty sleep for anyone.
--- Quote ---
These kids spend most of their day doing chores, and being punished if they do not do them properly.
--- End quote ---
We spend 15 minutes cleaning our rooms each morning, and then 30 to 45 minutes doing our chores. Is this all day to you? You must sleep a lot or something.

THIS IS A SHAME.
--- End quote ---
You're right, it is a shame. It's quite a shame that people assume so much without knowing the facts first. It's a shame that some people really do abuse their kids but have to accuse others of bs when they are obviously innocent (I'm talking about the people who do know us and have been here before).
It's also quite a shame that "Anonymous" was the only name I saw on this page, and it was almost full.
Yes, it really is a shame. :roll:
