Beware of referrals by Sue Scheff
hawaiianguy3:
While I was there, she actually visited once and Larry and the houseparents were scrambling to make the place look ok before she came. She gave a week advance notice. They did the same thing whenever one of our parents came also. Actually, I shouldn't say that they were scrambling. They made us do all the cleaning work. Cleaning the house, making new activities so they could say that we did them.
I don't think that it's all Sue Scheff's fault because what she saw was ok, but she should check more thoroughly.
None of the kids ever said anything to anyone. Not out of fear, I don't think. Maybe it was because they thought it was ok, or they just brushed it off. Once you leave thew program, you don't really want to remember it anymore anyway. I want people to know what it's really like because I don't think anyone else will go to the trouble of finding a site like this and tell people what happens. I actually tried this once before. I sent an email to the editor of the site http://www.strugglingteens.com about the exact same things, and they sent an email back saying that they wouldn't post the info and that this is something that should be dealt with by the authorities. So I appreciate getting this out there on this web site.

"I went to Glacier Mountain Academy for a little less than a year before my mother took me out because neither of us thought that it was helping me. My mother talked to Sue Scheff about this school so she thought it was pretty good.
Here are some of my experiences and things that I saw while I was there:
Larry Bauer is the head of the program and says that he councels us one on one every week or so. We all got counceled I think twice the entire time that I was there.
Ramona and Matt Slover were the house parents while I was there and I saw with my own eyes Matt hold one boy against the wall by his neck and yell at him because he ate the applesauce with sugar when he wasn't supposed to have sugar. I heard of other things from the kids but that's all I saw.
Robert was our martial arts "instructor" and eventually they let him take us fishing and on other excursions. On more than one occasion, he smoked marijuana in front of us and shared it with myself and the other kids. Matt later confessed to me that he knew that Robert smoked weed and suspected that he might be doing it with us.
Jack is the "teacher" at Glacier Mountain Academy and is good friends with Larry Bauer. Every day we did actual lessons for about 30 to 40 minutes, even though we were at school for 5 or 6 hours every day. The rest of the time was spent playing Nintendo and watching movies while Jack did paperwork or talked on the phone in the other room.
There were 3 bedrooms for the kids in the house that we stayed in. There were 12 people living in the house at the same time. 9 of them were kids (including myself) two were Matt and Ramona, and the last was their son, David, who lived in the basement.
There is more if you want you can email me at hawaiianguy3@hotmail.com. I'm sure that my mother wouldn't mind talking to you either about what she went through.[ This Message was edited by: hawaiianguy3 on 2006-01-09 13:24 ]"

WOW. Bombshell. Thanks for your post, Hguy. This is about what everyone suspected based on other posts, but the staff doing drugs with the kids? MAN, that is fucked up.
Good thing this place is being shut down. You should, however file a police report with the Nephi police department about this guy giving you drugs. That's a pretty serious offense.
Have you spoken to the authorities about the abuse? You should do it right away, because Ms. Sudweeks is going on trial in a couple of weeks. I'm sure the DA would love to have this information on hand to aid the prosecution.
Good luck, man.

DJ: Hawaiiguy appears to be discussing the abusive situation at Glacier Academy. Ms. Sudweeks is facing trial for her abuse of students at Whitmore Academy in Nephi, Utah. It appears Sue Scheff of PURE referred kids to both these schools. Seems Ms. Scheff just keeps putting kids in danger!

Oh, I see. Sorry. I misread his statements.
Yes, I agree, Sue Scheff knowingly refers parents to confirmedly abusive facilities. She should get out of the "Teen Help" business immediately. She's totally incompetent.

Do they do LGAT type seminars or any similar sort of ritual or practice at Glacier Mountain?
Homeschool is self regulating. The school board is not going to have illiterate useless people living in their homes forever if they don't have a working education policy.
