Wondering if Sue's friend Izzy could write a nice blog; and perhaps fill everyone in on the lovely details of this lawsuit?  Izzy does claim to be an investigative reporter, isn't that correct?
Thanks, Izzy.

CACE07018185
Title: Referral by Sue Scheff/PURE
Post by: Joyce Harris on August 02, 2007, 11:57:16 PM
Sue Scheff/PURE recommended two programs to our family in 2004:
Whitmore Academy in Nephi, Utah--which was run by Mark and Cheryl Sudweeks.  We removed our daughter amid abuse allegations against the owners in November 2004, 7 weeks after our daughter was enrolled.
Cheryl Sudweeks's criminal trial ended in plea bargain.
Sue Scheff has written the Whitmore Blog which promotes the defunct Whitmore Academy; and which praises the Sudweeks; while bashing any parent who criticizes the Sudweeks; or this closed down facility.  Scheff's blogs does not disclose the Sudweeks's criminal problems in Canada ,or Mexico.

The other facility Sue Scheff/PURE recommended to our family in 2004 was Sunrise Academy in Hurricane, Utah and the Admissions Director was Boyd Hooper--who is listed as a Defendant in this case, along with Sue Scheff.  

Scheff highly recommended Hooper's facility, Sunrise Academy; but her recommendation of Whitmore Academy and her assuring words-- that she would place her own daughter at Whitmore Academy, if her daughter required placement in a program--helped to convince me that Whitmore Academy would be the best "school" for our daughter.

Seeing this lawsuit filed against Sue Scheff /PURE and Boyd Hooper causes me to wonder and ask:  What are the chances that that the  people we came into contact with when searching for "help" for our daughter would end up in some type of legal case in a Court of Law?  Cheryl Sudweeks in a Criminal case; and now Sue Scheff and Boyd Hooper having a law suit filed against them in connection to Focal Point Academy?

Was our family just this unlucky?

Well, considering she placed her own daughter in Carolina Springs, that doesn't say much for her "expert resource" capabilities.

Although this is a big industry in dollars, it is small and incestuous in personnell. Everyone knows everyone, they all scratch each other's backs, and they can smell a wealthy parent from a mile away.

Anybody know why this civil lawsuit was filed in Florida?  Focal Point Academy is in Nevada, PURE is in Florida.  

Personally, I don't think it matters where the plaintiffs live.

I am just speculating here, suppose the Green Family live in Broward county, as you know Sue and pure are listed on the school websites, as a parent resource.  That would probably be why the case is in Florida.

Well, you know what, 'that' needs to be addressed, too.  Is it on just the
Broward County Schools' web-site or PBC, too?  One has to give it to her, she is one heck of a self promoter.  Perhaps the school system needs to see pictures and dialogue of where our self proclaimed advocate/  non ed.con. unlicensed, refers some children to...a "Foster Care Facillity" to the tune of almost 5,000. plus a month.  The Broward County School District has a fiduciary responsibility to the families and children of Broward County to do their homework.  How on earth can they possibly recommend PURE with this track record, wouldn't Broward County School
District be held accountable/liable for recommending PURE, without a disclaimer, if there was a another disasterous placement?  Why would Broward County be so ignorant as to open themselves up to possible lawsuits?  Think about it.

The funny thing is, if you call the State of Nevada, the County, at any given time, they may not be able to help you, as "currently there are no "foster children" placed at Focal Point"!  Well, HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?  Red Flag!!!!!!!

I thought the same thing, especially when she greeted me so warmly and with barely restrained bloodlust, then pulled back and tried to resume an even and measured tone.  It's a badge of honor to know I have Izzy's hatred, it puts me in good company.

I presume Izzy knows but given that one of the defendants is her self-described "friend and colleague" SUE SCHEFF (also CAICA Advocate of the Month) it may be that this is one complaint Izzy ain't too keen about pubishing on CAICA.  OTOH, who the hell really knows?  IMO, Izzy has demonstrated a propensity to seemingly play both sides of the fence (see troubled teens forum).  Stay tuned?

Focal Point Academy's website claims to provide 15 hours of therapy per week, per child.  It claims its academic program is accredited by Northwest Association.  Yet, it's licensed as a "Foster Care" facility?

I've dealt with David before.  He's a great guy and very, very sharp.  He also happens to understand the TeenHurt business and how it works - like a racket!

Whoever is involved in the plaintiff's end with this suit is in the good hands of a good guy...

Mesquite, NV. is 35 miles from St. George.

Boyd Hooper. Admissions Director of Focal Point Academy, an all-boys facility, is named as a Defendant in the Law Suit.

He was Admissions Director of Sunrise Academy, an all-girls facility in Hurricane, Utah (which is 53 miles from Mesquite, NV).
Sunrise Academy was one of Scheff's favorite places to refer children to.

Must be nice for Scheff to have facilities so close together to place both boys and girls, huh?
Especially since SUNRISE ADOLESCENT TRANSPORT is located in St. George, Utah--exactly in-between these two "schools."
