Treatment Abuse, Behavior Modification, Thought Reform > Who Am I Discovery/Whitmore
The Truth Will Prevail
Joyce Harris:
Anon says "NO evidence...still open"
Well, good investigations do take time, and we parents who have our children home safely can wait for the authorities to do their job.
The parents who choose to leave their children at Whitmore during the investigation have that right and choice, too.
And of course Whitmore is still open. We do live in the United States of America, and the Sudweeks do have the right to be considered "innocent" until charged, tried in a court of law and proven otherwise. Who would want it any differently?
I would like for things to be different, myself. I would like for Mark Sudweeks to not lie and "quote" from a non-existing police report that I threw my daughter about the Whitmore so-called "Mansion" by the hair of the head. But, I don't control that man, and his lying mouth.
I would like to not be paying a psychiatrist enormous fees for my daughter's on-going therapy for problems she did not have prior to her enrollment a Whitmore Academy--but I have to. Before her placement at this abusive school, she only required a Psychologist to work on adoption issues.
I would prefer spending my computer time working on assignments in my Graduate Studies, rather than defending myself against erroneous allegations of child abuse against my daughter--
and working to help others be aware of the issues at Whitmore Academy.
After going public with our Statement with ISAC, we have accepted the responsibility of being the "contact base" of the many parents who either have students currently at Whitmore, or those who had students at Whitmore in the past.
Now these parents know how to contact authorities to present their evidence, and to tell their stories. Each parent now knows that their experience was not an "isolated incident."
The truth about Whitmore Academy will be told, and hopefully the people who have caused any damage to any child will be held accountable.
Anonymous:
And I for one thank you for taking a stand and bravely posting about your experiences dealing with these people. Because of you and others like you some parents have been able to make decisions that have spared our children from any further abuses. So CUDOS to you and the others for keeping up the good fight for the TRUTH!
Joyce Harris:
Thank you very much for your support and kind words.

question; so when is this going to happen?
we have one parent who pulled their child in nov. '04, fact. maybe 2 families, from what i read earlier tonight? (g'mom)
ag's office is not investigating anything pertaining to whitmore, fact. i call to verify, today.
the police are not investigating whitmore, fact. i called to verify, today.
the "school" is still open, fact. i called to verify, today.
i have checked pacer from time to time and do not see anything about anyone filing or suing "whitmore", fact. verified earlier today.
i do see where the sudweeks were found guilty in canada, fact. the transcripts and court docs are on the net for public viewing.
i have read the harris affidavits on isac, fact. on the isac website.
the rest of the information is just allegations at this point, fact. because no charges have been filed by anyone publically to date?
Antigen:
Yeah, essentially the same scenareo is playing out (like a broken record) in Mo these days surrounding Thayer. And, in that case, a kid is factually dead under extremely dubious circumstances while former staff and students describe routine torture of the variety that takes weeks or months for the marks to go away.
But they're still open. If you call the local police they'll tell you everything's just great there. I hear tell there may be a lawsuit, but who knows? It could turn out like the class action against WWASP or the one against Straight founders or any of a number of other attempts. These things so often don't come together for so many reasons. But then again, once in awhile a plaintif or three wins.
OTOH, Whitmore really does remind me a whole lot more of The Seed or a Meehan program than most of these other places. Meehan's getting some bad press lately, and it looks pretty serious. The Seed just shrunk down to like 20 or 30 people or less w/ a powerful inner circle and pretty much stayed static like that for around 20 years before imploding.
You can learn all you want to know about how that story ends from your neighbors over in the Seed forum: http://fornits.com/wwf/viewforum.php?forum=8&3255
No tellin' how it'll go this time. Just hunker and watch.
