Whitmore

<< < (7/22) > >>

Alana:
If you have a child and you find a program that works for you, I wish you the best of luck.

I continue to support the Sudweeks based on my own personal experience.  You are certainly entitled to your opinion.  I respectfully disagree.

Alana:
My hope for you is that you get rid of your anger and get help for your child.  If you don't have a child at The Whitmore, you cannot speak from personal experience.  If you are a parent who removed their child from The Whitmore, I can only hope that you find a program that works for you and your child, and I can only hope that you obtain the results that the Sudweeks have given us.

Good luck to you.

Joyce Harris:
Alana,
You need not speak directly to me.
I am not the only parent who has filed charges against the Sudweeks.
I am not the only parent who posts here and relates the abuses their child has suffered at the Whitmore, not by a long shot. I am just one that uses her name.
What has been posted here stating the out right abuses suffered by VARIOUS STUDENTS is truth--and most of them are abuses other students were subjected to over a long period of time.  Many of the students are home now, going to college--but they have talked to the authorites in Utah revealing the abuses they suffered by the Sudweeks...so it is NOT MY views. I do not know these former students, and I do not talk to other people's children. That is not my place.
I would never make the same mistake TWICE--my daughter will never be placed in another "boarding school."

I feel very sorry for the kids who are being manipulated still--and who will be facing the legal consequecies of their involvment in the Sudweeks backlash against parents.

Alana:
My, my, what anger.  I hope you find the peace that you so clearly need.

Thank you for asking - my visit with my children was wonderful.  We spent nearly every minute of 10 days together.  Tori and I visited this site for the same reason most other people do - for an exchange of opinions.  I have given mine, which I base on my own experience.  Isn't that what this site is for?  Or is it only for those who breed hysteria and hyperbole?  Tori is grateful to the Sudweeks for helping her find her spirit.  Our entire family is grateful.

We are happy - I just hope that you can find that happiness, too; if not at The Whitmore then at whatever place works for you.

Best of luck.

Alana:
You are entitled to your opinion, and I am entitled to mine.  I remain grateful to the Sudweeks and they never did anything that I found unacceptable.  I am aware of all the accusations.  I'm just a grateful mom and nobody will take that away from me.  That's a gift from the Sudweeks that nobody can put a price on.

I just hope you can find a program or a path that gives you the same.  I wish that for everyone who is a struggling teen or is a family member of one.
