Beware of referrals by Sue Scheff

:question: I came upon this website by chance while looking for a suitable school to send my nephew.I clicked onto Glacier Mountain Academy and this website came up. My nephew is 14 and is a troubled teen. No police record, just failing in grades and difficult. We live in Mississippi. Does any one know of a school here we can take a serious look at?
Anonymous:
Failing grades and being difficult are unfortunately symptoms of being a teenager. Take hiim on a trip yourself. Go camping for a few weeks (if you can afford the tuition for these "schools" you can afford to take a couple weeks off.) More than likely he'll grow out of it.
Sending a kid to one of these places will damage him for life. Why people turn to strangers to "fix" their kid is beyond me.
Antigen:
Maybe the source of the problem is not the kid at all? Maybe there's something going on at the school that he could just use a little adult guidance and perspective in handling. Please, don't underestimate the devistating effect on a kid when the adults in his life view him as a problem to be shipped off.

Auntie, read all the posting on the Who Am I Discovery thread. That will give you insight into the type of "schools" Sue Scheff/PURE gets paid to send kids to. The owner has been charged with child abuse (7 counts) against 4 kids. And Ms. Scheff still supports these abusive owners.
And read the WWASP vs PURE transcripts available here to get some insight into how non-trutful Ms. Scheff can be on a deposition.
Good luck with your nephew, and please do not place him in some wilderness program, or long-term treatment program!

Can someone please post the link to the WWASPS v. PURE transcripts? Is it on Fornits or the ISAC?
