Better yet, why doesn't or why can't Paula see and admit that Sue refers kids to unregulated programs. Isn't that what Paula is fighting to stop. Does she think it is ok for Sue to continue in the referral business now, when there is no regulation in place?
I think Paula sticks by Sue because without Sue and her small number of friends and associates, she has no one. She realizes like Sue she has managed to alienate all those who truly want to stop child abuse and the gross exploitation of famlies by all.
