Parent support groups?

Whoever you are, the Sudweeks do not have a password. It's alot more secure than that. And even if they did join the group, nothing is ever said that they could not hear anyway. If a parent is not happy with their child at Whitmore, they shouldn't be there. The parents on the Parent Site are good people and don't really say bad things. Sorry to disappoint you.

Oh, and, by the way, you have to be invited with a password to get on the parents site to keep people like you out of there.

And how do you know Cheryl Sudweeks has the password and reads everything?

Why would the parents want to suck up to Cheryl or Mark Sudweeks? I thought the parents were them. That doesn't even make sense. There are enough programs out there for children who need help, they can remove their child finding another program that would best take care of their kids' problems. You must be one of those people who want to jump on the negative bandwagon. I bet you like violent movies too!! And thurst for drama!!

Sorry on the last posting, I meant to say I thought the parents were paying Whitmore. Why would they want to suck up to them. It seems Cheryl and Mark would want to suck up to the parents.

And what ALL does Cheryl know? Just what do you think the parents are saying? This makes no sense at all. You must be one of those kids that still needs help. It's obvious you're lacking in love and attention. Maybe you need to talk to your own parents!

I have not been contacted about joining any parent group related to the Whitmore. I did not know that there was one.  My daughter was withdrawn in November, so if this is a group for parents who have children enrolled now, I would not expect to be invited.

I was just reading this topic, and was surprised to see the question directed to me.

I just wondered why anyone would want me to reply if I had or had not been invited to this parent forum.

Should I feel slighted that I have been shunned?

Is this parent forum for all parents that have any connection to Whitmore?

Thanks.

Joyce, you weren't shunned. The parent group is for only those parents now with children at Whitmore. Leah was only there a short time and they probably did not get your name in time for you to join. A parent started it and it has only been going for a short time, so the contact info is not organized yet. Sorry you did not get to join. It would have helped you when all the fuss happened. It's too bad you had to leave. If you had given it a chance, it probably would have Leah. Good luck to you and your family.

Correction:  Leah is not my daughter.

My daughter is Zita, and she is only 12 years old and does not read or write on this site.

But, from what I know of Leah, I would be very proud to have a daughter like her.

Thank you for explaining the parent site. A lot of things have been said back-and-forth and many like me were probably confused.

But I doubt if anything on ANY site could have had any impact on my opinion of the Sudweeks.  I did not know about this site until several people called me and told me about the many horrific  LIES that had been posted about me from people at the Whitmore here.  I say "people" but I feel that I know where it came from---the names posted were kids from the Whitmore who do not know me, and who were not even present the night we picked up Zita.

Our home phone number and email address was given out to total strangers (who made threats to our family) by the Sudweeks--nothing is scared to these people.

But thank you for explaining the site.  

Joyce Harris

Sorry about the mistake. I know 3 names on this site and I did not ready the info correctly. It just sounds as if the families of those upset probably need to vent more to Cheryl and Mark in a civil manner as opposed to this site. This could go on forever and you all will never feel closure until you confront them directly. I would hate to hold all this in for so long. I, myself, do have a child at Whitmore and they are doing good. Whitmore works for me and my child, but obviously it can't work for everyone. Sorry you had to go thru all this.

I would just caution you.  When our granddaughter was there, we also thought she was doing well.  We visited on several occasions.  We were told she was doing well in school,dealing with the issues that we sent her there for, etc.  It was only after she had left there did we begin to gradually hear what actually does go on.  When you go to visit, do with your eyes wide open.  Good luck.

Many Many people post on this site. Some use their real names, some use TITLES, and some just write anonymously.

Please do not think that just three people are responding.
