I have asked this question -- does the end justify the means? To say that not all programs work for all kids is saying the methods used are okay for some, and for those for whom it is not, they should just forget about it. How do you do that when a child has been abused? The stories from the kids are the same, from all over the country. You can't just turn you head and say they are all just making things up. Not only does that allow the abuse to go on with other children, but it says to the kids who were abused that they should accept abuse, that abuse is okay.
The contract states specific services, and you, in good faith, pay for those services, you should get them. We were lied to. We did not agree to any shape or form of abuse, verbal or physical. We paid for licensed, qualified people to handle the problems our granddaughter was sent to the Whitmore for, not for Cheryl Sudweeks abusiveness
