Some Fresh Air

From reading the various posts: There seems to be "three types of kids sent to Whitmore" Those kids whose parents THOUGHT they were sending their kid to a nice boarding school for academic purposes etc etc... and Those kids whose parents THOUGHT they were sending their kid to Whitmore to address serious behavior problems that required academics, along with therapy...and Those kids whose parenets KNEW their kids needed placement because they had drug, legal, juvenile delequency problems.

The Sudweeks most certainly DID NOT advertise Whitmore Academy as a  "school" to address these various types of needs:  How could the Sudweeks plan or even HOPE to mesh these three very distinct NEEDS into ONE PROGRAM?

My guess? The same kind of pretzel logic that led them to believe that the kid in Canada was up to the task of wintering a herd of horses.
For the community to have 10% to 25% of its men unable to vote or unable to access credit or other privileges of citizenship for the rest of their lives in some states creates a permanently diminished
group within society.

Because they did it before and got away with it.  They did advertize as a youth treatment center at one time, had kids there and got away with it--this is why they think they are above the law- at least Utah law.  They must be paying off the officials because no officials in their right mind would have let them get this far---- since the whistle was blown on them along time ago.

Antigen:
But why? I mean, there are a lot of ways to get money, honesly or not. What would make someone think they're capable of fixing all kinds of problems in other people's kids?
"Narcotics have been systematically scapegoated and demonized. The idea that anyone can use drugs and escape a horrible fate is an anathema to these idiots. I predict that in the near future right-wingers will use drug hysteria as a pretext to set up an international police apparatus."

I'm not certain that the Sudweeks' goal is to fix the problems of these children. I think the Sudweeks enjoy the power they have over not only the kids, but also the power they have over parents of these kids.

Yes, they con the parents out of thousands, and thousands of dollars a year--that's a fact.

But they derive their POWER through total control:
The Sudweeks control all communications-in and out of Whitmore. That is powerful--to be able to tell parents (who by all rights are paying the Suds) when and how they can talk to their own children.

The Sudweeks manipulate these kids, and turn the Sudweeks and Whitmore into THE FAMILY--and are rather successful at this. Just listen to the students on this site.  That is powerful stuff we read here.

The Sudweeks break these kids down to the point that the kids will obey scary demands by the Sudweeks: Kids will beat up other kids--their own friends there, and humiliate each other.

Parents either accept this control and manipulation of their children, or deny that the Sudweeks behave in this manner.
