--- Quote ---When kids first arrive, we love them because we see how they really can be; we can see their potential to be awesome people. It is at first unconditional acceptance for their true self, and they begin to want to work with us because of this. In teamwork, we understand each other a lot better and from this understanding comes love. If you adopted a kid, would you love him or her right off from the start, even if they didn't want to go with you?

So you just "love" them. Gee, that explains EVERYTHING. How do you convince a child, who may not be all trusting of his/her parents and of adults/authority figures in general, that you "love" them? What do you do to get them to comply? You say that you just "love" them-- but that really doesn't mean much. What do you DO, exactly? You're avoiding the question.
--- Quote --- By the way, less than half of the kids here were brought by escorts. Most came with their families, and some even by themselves.

It could be that some children were brought by their families, but I don't believe you that "less than half" of them have been kidnapped. It just doesn't sound believeable, especially coming from a program person.
--- Quote --- First off, please understand that there aren't any bad kids. There are only good kids who have made some bad choices.

:roll: why is it that all program people use the same damn line?
--- Quote --- When someone becomes more responsible, accountable, etc., through fulfilling normal responsibilities like book reports, daily journal, etc., this person can have an intern or prefect job to kind of test them and through tests like that, they learn more.

Could be. But do they learn enough to be able to handle the responsibility of supervising over other children? Another thing I find very hard to believe.
--- Quote --- I don't expect you to understand fully. It isn't something one really can't understand from words; it is more something one must experience firsthand to really 'get.'

Oh, I get it all right. You offer some great spiritual change, taht only your Holy Program can provide, and no one can criticize the Holy Program, because we morons just can't "get it".
I've got news for you. We've all heard it before. We know who you are, we know what you're offering, and we know what you're doing to these children. And we will, eventually, shut you down. No matter how many excuses you make, no matter how much "love" babble you spew, no matter how many times you say that The Holy Program is a spiritual experience that we just "can't get".
I've heard enough of this shit to recognize it right away. You're not fooling anyone.

Troubled Teen Home Investigated for Abuse
Nov. 30, 2004
Samantha Hayes Reporting
It's often a last resort for some parents. But a facility for
troubled teens is under investigation tonight after strong
allegations from one boy.
Carol Sisco, Child and Family Services: "Our licensing office
notified them that we intend to revoke their license."
The state's decision to pull the license follows a teenage boy's
claims he was verbally and physically abused. KSL talked with many
of the same children interviewed by child and family services in
their investigation, children who have come from all over the
country to get help.
Mark and Cheryl Sudweeks own and operate the boarding school for 27
teenagers and a separate residential treatment facility for 12 boys.
Mark Sudweeks, Owner Whitmore Academy: "It's not working at home and
we feel we have a solution that can help kids turn their lives
around."
A teenage boy who was in the therapy group accused Whitmore Academy
of abuse.
Carol Sisco: "Allegations are of verbal abuse, physical abuse, lack
of supervision, bad sanitation, sub-standard food."
Victoria Degarmo, Counselor: "There is no verbal abuse. What goes on
here is nothing that doesn't go on in a family home."
The state and local police interviewed the teenagers in both
programs to find out if the accusations were true.
Carol Sisco: "We are still looking at it and we have the health
department looking at it too."
But the treatment facility's license is already being revoked.
Chris Gentile, Enrolled at Whitmore Academy: "One of the things I
love about this place is that I used to have the worst relationship
with my parents and now I feel like I can tell them anything."
Hannah Ruisi, Enrolled at Whitmore Academy: "They helped me believe
in myself and discover who I was."
The boarding school is not regulated by the state, and children in
that program live in Whitmore Mansion. But Sudweeks says they
interact with those in the treatment facility; that is another
concern for state investigators. The teenage boy who made the
allegations was pulled our of Whitmore Academy.
During the investigation, three others were removed by their
parents.

Ok, so there are three kids who were pulled after this investigation? What's up w/ that?
We need cops.
We can't live without 'em.
But they need to start working for us....
That's no longer an option.
They've pushed it.
They've gone to far.
They've just gone to far.

Those were obviously either disgruntled druggies or they just aren't capable of "getting it". Don't you understand that by now? :roll:

What? But, I thought the love was unconditional???
