Hi Everyone,

I am now at home for Christmas, and have turned 18. First off, I want to say that Erica you are the biggest baby I've ever met. You DONT know what a real program is. I wish you could experience WWASP, then you'd understand what a program is.. so stop bitching, I hate whiny brats like you. I'm sorry to everyone else that has to read this, but I have had problems with this girl for a very long time, even before everyone found out who she really was. I wish that you could experience one of my days at AIR. Maybe then you'd understand what a real program is.

I'm starting to get confused. There havent been any runaways. Mackey was talking about the girl whose mother, Joyce, came in in the middle of the night with cops and drug her out. The girl didn't want to go. Its the same story as before. Also, I just want to say that I dont think I will be posting here anymore. No one here apparently cares about what we have to say, unless it has something to do with abuse. I'll end my postings by saying that I have never been abused at Whitmore Academy, nor have I seen anyone abused at Whitmore Academy. On a personal note, don't be fooled if anyone tells you otherwise. The people that are/were really here back their statements up with their name. Anyone with a computer can say whatever they feel. Where's the credibility if you cant place a name with a statement?

I have not personally been disrespectful to any cop.  I've only seen one person ever call one of the cops a pig. I naturally refer to cops as cops. I don't see anything disrespectful about that. We're about to go to Provo, UT... so I will not have access to my computer for awhile. Please leave any questions you may have.

I did not mean that the cops are presently coming every day. I said that to explain why we were not on normal schedule last week. I actually haven't seen the cops here in awhile.

Well, when cops are coming asking questions every day, all day long, and news reporters come, it does affect a full day schedule atleast slightly.

You're not getting anywhere trying to pick out little things to turn in to issues.

also to give you a feel for whats been going on...
This week we've done pretty well at maintaining our normal schedule. Our physics and chemistry teacher came for class on his normal days, and the equine kids went out with their horses. Last night we all went to Taco Time, and to play basketball down the street. Today we're going to Salt Lake City. Well I'm gonna go down for breakfast!

some kids have talked to their parents every day, while others on their call day, or whenever theyre called. You can pretty much call your kid whenever you need them. My mom checks in almost every day now.

Also, Caitlyn told me she will not be posting here anymore, but if anyone has any questions I'll address them.
I stand by this school the way I would a family. This is my second family, and I will not let them destroy the lives of the kids here and of Mark and Cheryl. I will, unfortunately have to leave  for college at the beginning of the year, and this will be very hard for me to do. You must understand that I can not let anything happen to this place. If anything were to happen.. all of the kids here would probably end up in some other program where kids really DO get beat. To me, the existance of this programs keeps 40 kids out of Ivy Ridge, or Provo Canyon School, or Cross Creek, or TB and Casa.

Do you think I'm not going to address that?
I'll do better then that. Call, ask for me, and Ill put you on with kids that have been here 2 weeks or less. They wont be able to tell you much about this incident, as they weren't there, but they can certainly tell you their experiences of the Whitmore   since they arrived. Also, all of our new kids came with their parents. I might have said that earlier, but if not I think it's important for you to know.
You want answers? Come get them, I'm waiting.

I've said many times you can contact me in any method you'd choose. I'd gladly tell you more. I spoke to Shelby @ ISAC all about this. If I were in a cult would I be able to contact an organization that watches for such places? Like I said earlier, if you want to know more I'll tell you more. I'll answer any question you can throw at me.

Hi Antigen,
You bring up a great point. Meaningful conversation from those with first hand knowledge. I must say, the only folks here that I've seen with this said knowledge would be the kids past and present, and the parents past and present. The only confirmed parent I've seen on this board is Karen, whom I've personally met. She came and visitied us earlier this week all the way from Michigan. Her son is a friend of mine.

I'm sorry, but in my books, you're information means nil if there's no name backing it up, especially when I know how things are.

Actually, the event that you speak of was personally witnessed by several students. AND the event that started everything was witnessed by the entire group.

p.s. I am not hateful to anyone, and I am certainly not programized. I can still honestly say that I would never send my child to a program, but if I had to, I'd send them to where I am right now. I also believe that almost all problems can be worked out in the home. I can, however, understand that some parents simply cant, or feel that they cant, just do it on their own. There will always be the need and demand for programs. Why not let the good ones stand?

Why are we talking about the Whitmore? Many students, including myself were beaten, tortured, and isolated at Ivy Ridge I think, if anything, this is a more worthy topic then talking about supposed abuse to us here.

Please focus your concerns on worthy causes. I can't stress this enough. While you waste your time on us, kids are being beaten and isolated in little rooms without their parents having a clue.

Who Am I Discovery/Whitmore / Anyone know of GOOD places for kids??
« on: December 03, 2004, 02:26:00 PM »
Antigen, your post is almost identical to the mission statement of the program i'm in right now. We know that HOME is the best place. This place IS home to 37 kids, and they're tearing are HOME apart. See, we've been blessed with 2 HOMES. I love them just the same. I've been trying to figure you out, and in a way I feel that I have. I know that you support drug use, particularly marijuana and hash. I also know that you believe in free choice. This is exactly what Mark and Cheryl believe in. Don't you get it? We can choose to do whatever we want! I can choose to walk out the front door right now. NO ONE will stop me. I can choose to call whoever I want, NO ONE will stop me. I can choose to go to the 7-11 accross the street and buy cigarettes, again, I am free to make my own mistakes.

I, myself, ran away from this program and was gone for 3 weeks. I went across the country to Boston and stayed with a group of my friends. I later made my way up to Portland Maine to visit other friends in the area. I realized what I had done, and I willingly flew back to Utah. When I came back it was as if nothing had happened. They accepted the mistake I had made, and we all moved on together. I can now say that I am a much a stronger person.
