| Email: Face to Face With Sylvia BrowneA woman with a missing daughter recounts her experience with Sylvia Browne. Amy Bradley, missing since 1998 BackgroundOne thing which puzzles me is how fans of Sylvia Browne can watch her television appearances and say that she comes across as warm and caring. From my perspective, she almost always comes across as cold, dismissive, impatient, snide, and often just plain scornful of the very people who have come to her for answers and help. I suppose that, for her supporters as well as for me, it could be a case of seeing what we expect to see. However, a few months ago I received an email which I believe illustrates, from a first-hand perspective, just how cold, uncaring and dismissive Browne (and her office staff) can be. The EmailHere, with the author's permission, is that email:
Note: This was before "Sylvia Browne Wednesdays" became a regular feature on the Montel show.
AnalysisBrowne has said many times in the past that:
Iva Bradley's experience with Browne's office staff would seem to indicate otherwise. Shouldn't they have told Mrs. Bradley to have law enforcement contact Sylvia Browne for help with the case? Instead, they told her to either wait six months (an eternity to a parent with a missing child), or mail in a question along with $75. And what about Browne herself? I would imagine that she gets approached like this frequently, and perhaps that becomes aggravating. But shouldn't she have told Mrs. Bradley to have law enforcement contact her about helping with the case? Instead, she simply walks away, telling a weeping mother with a missing daughter nothing more than to "watch Montel on Monday." ConclusionIva Bradley practically begged Browne for much-needed help, and Browne was cold, uncaring, dismissive, and above all, was of no help whatsoever. I would like to thank Mrs. Bradley for sharing her experience with me, and for giving me permission to publish it here.
