If Parents Are Brainwashed, Where Do Whitmore Alumni Turn?
« on: February 27, 2005, 05:00:00 PM »
If kids want to talk about their experiences at Whitmore, who can they turn to if their own parents won't believe them?  Some parents will not believe that anything bad happened to their kids at Whitmore. They may still be talking to Mark and Cheryl who are asking for the parent's support now. Or, they just don't want to admit that they made a mistake in sending their kid to Whitmore in the first place. Some of the parents are more brainwashed than the kids.

Generally, they'll talk to friends back home who won't really get it. If they're lucky, they'll keep contact w/ one or two friends from the program and they'll support each other while they sort it all out.

So I hope you guys on all sides are able to forgive the bullshit that's flown around here at times.

I think when the kids who are at Whitmore now get home that they will be able to communicate with the other kids just fine.

My feeling is that most of the angry words back and forth are being generated by Cheryl Sudweeks.

They kids aren't really enemies. They are just being manipulated and have no choice right now.

But once they are away from Whitmore and can figure things out in their own minds, they will see that none of them had real choices.

These kids know that they didn't choose to punch out their friends while they were at Whitmore, and they know they really have no choice about these angry encounters they are involved in now.

Hopefully the parents will be able to figure all this out too.

Doesn't PURE have someone on their roster who has first-hand, personal experience with the specialized needs of adopted children?

PURE?  Pure is a pure crock-o-shit.  I wouldn't trust them with anything.

No, I really don't think so. I think somebody's doing a little cross checking. (Thanks, somebody!)

Look ya'll, we can be cautious and polite w/o being paranoid and hostile.

I've heard, but haven't been able to confirm, that Sue refered all or most of the Whitmore kids at one time late last year. If that's true, then PURE would be the elephant in the room in any current discussion of Whitmore. If it's not true, then it ain't Buzzkill working from some ultierior motive here.

Me? I'd just like to hear a yeay or neigh from at least a few different people.

The function of the press is very high. It is almost holy. It ought to
serve as a forum for the people, through which the people may know freely what is going on. To misstate or suppress the news is a breach of trust.

???

If it is true - what does it have to do with me?

I don't, in fact, have any idea if this is true or not.

I am posting (as always) just saying what I think.
I haven't posted on this thread at all til now.

Personally, I agree the kids will find each other; and I hope they will also keep talking to their parents. I would advise that they try tone down the attitude when they do - in the hope the parents might listen.

I agree with Buzzkill on this one. We were talking about kids and who they can talk to if their parents are brainwashed themselves, and won't listen to them if they want to talk about some really bad stuff that happened to them at Whitmore Academy; or some really bad stuff they were made to participate in at Whitmore.

A lot of these kids are coming home a lot more messed up than they were the first day they walked (or were dragged) into Whitmore.

And some of them are going home to parents who won't or can't believe a word their kids have to say.

Does anyone other than me not see the irony in the fact S.S. from Pure is suing Carey Bock for having accused her of sending kids to abusive schools. Now it appears that allegation MAY be true.

Won't Carey's wwaspie attorney have a field day with this one.

Won't S.S.'s attorney be so embarrassed.

If I was referring to a school who had been accused of such abuse allegations,I'd stop referring immediately until the allegations have been proven one way or another.It seems like safe common sense to me.

Or are we seeing an EGO bigger than it should be?

If what I am reading about the Sudweeks and Whitmore is true, those people are some really sick folks.

Shame on     for sending kids to be mistreated.

Talk about irony...her mother named her correctly...."SUE"

I dunno, but I've always thought she married a killer name too. Souse Chefs are always a little high strung and squirrelly.

tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds..
